They were staunchly fighting communists. Also they burned liberal and communist books. I don't want to speculate too further with comparisons because the liberals will say "Aha!"
The fascists and communists were never fighting over ideology, they were fighting over power. If there were another fascist movement within 1930's Germany, Hitler would have targeted them as enemies too. We know this because Hitler ordered the assassination of any NSDAP (Nazi) party member who could pose a political threat to him. He killed hundreds of party members who were loyal to him. A true ideologue would not be motivated to do this.
The communists were no different. They had their own Night of Long Knives where they assassinated hundreds of loyal party members. Also, Stalin had a pleasant relationship with Hitler as long as he limited his conquest to Europe.
These authoritarian movements are never truly about ideology. That's for the rubes and common folk to believe. It's always about power.

As you are entitled to....We cannot always agree...
As they have the right to.
