Fascism and Communism were both born from European socialism and influenced by Marx. They both sought total control. The reason they hated each other and opposed each other to the death was because they were ideological rivals for the same far left base of supporters. Both ideologies were also blatantly awful so it was easy for them to point to each other and call the other guy the bigger evil.
