Those are stale flawed inappropriate technical definitions lacking a lot.
Communism and Fascism are both far-left-wing ideologies. Fascism is often confused with Nazism. Regardless, all three of them are disgusting.
In fact, whats common in all of them is COLLECTIVIST CHAUVINISM. They're all based on hatred and a "fight against" some class/group/nation etc. They're intolerance brought to the peak of a pseudo-schience. Call it "ideology".
An American author called Jonah Goldberg wrote a book called "Liberal Fascism":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Fascism
"In the book, Goldberg argues that fascist movements were and are left-wing, in contrast to the mainstream view among historians and political scientists that maintains fascism is a far-right ideology."
What's disgusting about Communism (and those who lived under it know very well), but the west and today's generation doesn't understand:
1) you can say goodbye to "too much" private property (in Romania, for instance, they just "took" whatever they could from the ordinary people during the Communist regimes: land, house, tractors, whatever)
2) limitation of ownership: there were rules regarding how many radios, TV's one could own (in some countries I believe even the number of cars owned was limited)
3) you could rarely (if ever) travel abroad, because either you had no passport, but even if you have you needed visa and even if you had visa, your own country's dictatorial regime would limit you
4) no freedom of speech: the REAL THING - not what liberals are saying nowadays (in fake news), but really, there was no freedom of speech (say one thing and you'll end up on the Gulag or tortured, executed, even)
5) wide-spread poverty everywhere for everyone: sure, you can have some!
6) scarcity of poor quality goods, almost nothing from import
7) if you got lucky to travel abroad, you were either limited or not allowed to bring in "too many" expensive, high-quality western products (was the case with radios, TV's etc.)
8) you had money, but nothing to buy except basic food items (IF they were available: North Korean scenario)
9) informational isolation from the rest of the world (again, see North Korea, Communist Romania under Ceausescu)
10) cultural censorship (in Communist China the theaters, cinemas, books, pretty much everything was heavily censored: you could have access to commie propaganda, but almost nothing else)
11) no right to vote (if you rose up, you ended up with a scenario like 1956 in Hungary)
12) no possibility for financial growth: not only because of poverty, but because of the stagnant (or declining) economy and, because of the communists' limitations
13) power shortages
14) central heating shortages
15) water shortages or no warm water (see North Korea, Romania)
16) forced labor: people (especially intellectuals) were forced to go do agricultural work (like picking potatoes etc.)
17) poor or no entertainment
18) limitation of movement (you were no allowed to drive on certain days or visit certain areas of the country or even to move to certain cities - Soviet Union, Romania)
19) Communist "equality" literally meant that the dumb people were "equal" to intellectuals
20) while Communism preaches "no social classes", there was an upper class: the COMMUNISTS! (they lived well, some were are rich as Hollywood stars)
21) brainwashing of children in schools and kindergartens: all Communists did this, but it was unbearable in the Soviet Union, Hungary, East Germany, Romania, Cuba...
22) Communists still thrive even 30 years after the fall of Communism: in Europe they're called "Liberals" and "Greens", "Ecologists" (not all of them, but the families of the elite Communists from Hungary, East Germany, Poland, Romania simply found a new umbrella for themselves), so Communists were indeed a "class", a mob, one might say (it is not just a regime that comes and goes, because many of the perpetrators are still rich and influential in countries like Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania...)
23) Communism destroys rural life: generally they had the obsession to force people to move to cities thus, many communists have destroyed traditional rural life (and many villages as well)
...I could go on to 1,000+ with what Communism brings
Unfortunately the young generations don't have a clue about the threat of Communism.
No normal man would want to relive any form of Communism.
