Uh, no. Communist governments often evolve to assume more of the signal attributes of classical fascism, such as extreme nationalism and corporatism, when classical utopian communism loses credibility or legitimacy. But classic communism and classical fascism are distinct.

Fascism is by definition a right wing term and directly opposite to communism.
Its like saying a very dry water. It cant be both.
Communism can be tyrannical and dictator but it cannot be fascist.
Yeah guys I'm aware of the political theory. It doesn't matter. What matters to me is what the communist system becomes in practice, most notably the stripping of rights and personal freedoms.
