Red pill me on the difference between Fascism/Nazism and Communism.
The only major difference I found is the differing view on family values and nationalism.
Nazies strongly promoted them as a natural extention of the belief in the superiority of the white race, in order to encourage natality.
Italian Fascists promoted strong family values, because those are deeply rooted in Christianity, which was (is) one of the pillars of the Italian national identity.
Communism doesn't seem to have any particular interest in promoting them.
Communism favours internationality, wheras Fascism/Nazism promotes strong nationalism.
Theoretically both Nazism and Communism are atheist in nature.
Nazies however worship an atheist religion based on the belief of racial superiority mixed in with elements from Norse mythology.
Italian Fascism had strong ties to the Catholic Church, since it needed its support.
Socially, both are collectivist: individualism is shunned.
Economically, both rely on wealth and land redistribution schemes, both are anti-capitalist - both nationalize big corporations, banks and other major capitalist institutions.
To be fair, Fascists/Nazies did allow heavily regulated capitalism on the very smallest scale as in small family owned businesses, which operated under a variant of Keynesian economics, with strong regulations and subsidies. So there was no free market.
Morally, both promote brotherhood and equality amongst its adherents.
Though cult of personality of the leader isn't necessarily a defining trait of Communism, it always develops, being a feature of every dictatorship. So in both there is a strong worship of the head of state as the supreme authority from which all of morality derives.
Nazies exercised eugenics.
Communists too made some attempts at it.
Italian Fascists, on the other hand, did not practice it.
Both Fascists/Nazies and Communists persecuted minorities.
