It’s simple. And not. Generally to differentiate between Soviet style Communism and Italian and German Fascism they break it down to left and right. And that’s sort of true.
But it isn’t really a line. Not a straight line. Nor is it boxes, which I’ve seen above. It is a circle. And at the top of the circle Soviet style Communism and German/Italian style Fascism are half an inch apart.
One of the ways you can show it really is Right Wing is how Fascists have always attacked the Left Wing. Fascists attacked Communists and in South America I’ve lost count how many Fascist Governments have sprung up to stop the Socialist/Communists. If they were mostly the same, why would they fight?
Hitler’s first act was to get rid of Jews, intellectuals and Communists. Next up went the left wing supporters. Hitler further claimed that the Communist government was actually a Jewish Conspiracy since Marx was a Jew.
By the same token, Stalin purged nearly everyone who he didn’t like, especially those who were further right.
In reality, the two are incapable of coexistence.
Yet there isn’t a dimes worth of difference between them.
