While both include state monopoly/control of all facets of life and an Authoritarian rule, Facism includes the ideology of rule through racial superiority..

I have always broken down the difference between Nazis and communists thusly: Nazis are atheistic national socialists who think that their one national empire should rule the world. As long as you are a member of the "race," you are fit to rule.

Communists are atheistic international socialists who think that their one political ideology should rule the world. As long as you are a member of the class and embrace the ideology, national boundaries don't matter (at least in theory).

Both are vehicles for totalitarian world rule and should be utterly despised by free people.

I would agree with the above sentiment, as well as the rest of your post..
Thanks..

National Socialism and Communism were different because one believed in government-corporate controlled production and the other wanted one class to over-achieve for the welfare of others. Both failed.

The so-called far-right in Germany sees a socialist state failing and is doing the popular route to get some things addressed. Most skinheads are dead from indulgences worldwide. It's over. The powers that be feel threatened by people that don't conform, so the scare articles come. Russia has them too, but those skinheads are more of a fad than what was going on 20 years ago in Britain.
