Yes communism is usually a dictorship, but it is usually very oligarchic with party ruling and one man as the front man, like krusnechov and the Politburo. And usually anyone can join the ruling communist party in a communist state, for example Gorbachev was from a working class background. You see communist regimes at least on the surface are about equality. While fascist states tend to enforce traditional values and while they still have a one party system, it is hopeless for most people to advance within it.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
