"No common and concise definition exists for fascism and historians and political scientists disagree on what should be in any concise definition."
the USSR was not a true communist state. true communism is public and equal ownership of everything. fascism is generally based on a single authoritarian leader and strong hierarchical structure, with strong government control of everything.
"
Fascism is normally described as "extreme right"[25] although writers on the subject have often found placing fascism on a conventional left-right political spectrum complex.[26] There is a scholarly consensus that fascism was influenced by both the left and the right.[27] A number of historians have regarded fascism either as a revolutionary centrist doctrine, as a doctrine which mixes philosophies of the left and the right, or as both of those things.[28][29][30]"
