It becomes muddy and you'd need someone more of a historian than me. I'd say Fascism is more flexible and can encompass a number of systems. For example a utopian ideal of communism would not be fascist at all, albeit unachievable. Fascism would be any system that feels like a dictator, that silences opposition forcibly and controls the economy and people's lives. Communism is a bit more of a romanticized idea of not having private property and sharing all resources, it just winds up not working well at all with human nature and getting dominated by dictators naturally.
I'm not sure socially, the community is sort of governing your lives on a property level but also could dictate your time in how you spend it working or what kind of job you do. I would say it is left on all fronts. It would be more not as oppressive if you had like 10 hippies on a commune all just voting what to do with things but no one actually owns anything but when you apply it coldly to a society it becomes much more oppresive.
It is hard to wrap around the fine points between them and ultimately the names are broad as any of these different nations discussed would have more detailed and specific laws that are each on the spectrum of more or less government interference or freedom.
China right now would feel similar to the US in terms of our consumer lives so it is capitalistic in a hybrid sense. The government however has last say in everything and can control any business they want, they can shut down opposition, disapear and silence people etc. and deploy the social credit score and deperson people with it.
Demoralization process would be what i described in my first post. Strategic manipulation of a society to promote bad and destructive ideas to make the society collapse from within.
