Lmao, no they aren't dude, learn some history. The fascists literally fought against the commies and bolsheviks. Ever hear of weimar germany, or what was going on in Italy pre Mussolini? Just because fascists are authoritarian doesn't make them the same as commies ideology wise. "using violence against anyone who challenges them" isn't all fascism is. The Italians who joined the fascist party were mostly former conservatives and Italian Nationalists. Look at the policies Mussolini put into place and I'd love to hear how it is the same as communism.
I know all that, it still isn't the same as communism though. They believe in natural order for one (anti-degeneracy), and don't believe in the redistribution of wealth which makes them nothing alike just because they are authoritarian. Fascism is only centrist due to economic policy, which is capitalist but heavily regulated in terms of exports since they wanted to create everything that could be created in Italy there. You are also just using basic definitions and not taking into account the actual policies Mussolini put into place.
The bolsheviks were also ran by people pushing degeneracy and all the wacky liberal shit we see now while the nazis were totally against it. Nazi's weren't fascists though, Hitler created his own political ideology which was national socialism. Similar to Italian fascism but not just nationalistic but racial. My point in the first place though was that they fought against the commies for largely the same reason we don't like commies. So call the other side what they, which isn't fascist.
