There is an old Zen Buddhist saying, "Opposites become each other". I agree with your view that Fascism and Communism are two sides of the same "coin" of tyranny (fasco-marxism).

They both employ the same tactics from censorship to character assassination of opponents to engineered famines, to shipping the "undesirables (Jews, Tibetans, Uyghurs, etc) " or political opponents off to the Gulag or "isolation / internment / reeducation camps" that are in fact extermination camps (a la Gov. of NY Kathy Hochu - as witness the NY governors appeal to the ruling striking down proposed public health departmant rules on detainment and isolation camps as unconstitutional).l
Thanks. Fascism (e.g., National SOCIALIST German Workers' Party) and Communism (eg. Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) are both socialist. The diff is that fascism uses big biz as the arm of the socialist state, whereas in communism the state owns the means of production directly. Also, fascism is nationalist (blood and soil) whereas communists are internationalists. All one has to do is read Mussolini's 1932 definitive The Doctrine of Fascism https://sjsu.edu/faculty/wooda/2B-HUM/Readings/The-Doctrine-of-Fascism.pdf and/or look up the party planks the Nazis adopted at their first convention, Munich, FEb. 1920
Then why did HItler invade the USSR is always the question. The answer is above about nationalism. And also these people need to answer why Brezhnev had the Ussuri River War with Mao late 60s/early 70s, which Brezhnev went to Nixon and asked if he nuked Mao, would the US get involved. Nixon said yes, so it never happened. As it was, hundreds were killed. Then after our Vietnam involvment, there were TWO times in the late 70s/early 80s that Communist China invaded Uncle Ho's Communist Vietnam. People answer me why that happened, and I will then answer the HItler/USSR Operation Barbarossa question
