Actually, Communism is not totalitarian. True communism is an un-achievable utopia. I did my thesis on it back in the 70’s. I am not a communist.
True communism is where everyone works for the collective. No leaders. People work for the good of the community.
The problem with true communism is ambition and greed. These lead to leaders who are then corrupted with power, and the communism is gone, and totalitarianism takes over.
So, you can understand why communism tickles the ears of the ignorant who think things will get better, only to see it’s far worse as they are lined up against a wall.
Fascism is definitely bad, but not truly comparable to communism. China a totalitarian nation pretending to be communist.
...the author is not comparing one to the other, but was implying that they both take root in the futile soil of "totalitarianism"...
...your observations are valid nonetheless, and were nicely stated and framed...
...carry on...
