I'm not sure why the author labels Communism Fascism, probably for the same reason we ended up labeling ethnocentrism 'racism', to associate bad things with the ultimate baddie of the 20th century, although as we all know he was a piker compared with Uncle Joe, Saint Mao, Ho and others. But everyone thinks that fascism is bad and Communism tried to be good, da comrade?
And then we bring up examples of leftist agitators (community organizers) interrupting Hitler's speeches and we still call it fascism. Were those leftists fascist then? I'm confused!

Fascism is only a little to the right of communism, since it claims it allows private property. Note I said claims. You may hold the title, but the state dictates how it is used. And the state will take it when it deems it necessary or convenient.

According to F.A. Hayek, Adolf Hitler declared in a 1941 speech that “basically National Socialism and Marxism are the same.”
The end result of marxism/socialism/fascism is the same, totalitarianism. Distinctions without meaningful difference.
