The biggest similarity is that we are both willing to use violence to oppress our enemies. The difference is that the enemy of communists are our oppressors and the enemy of fascist is whoever they decide to not like at the moment. The ultimate attack on capital (communism) is materially different than the ultimate defense of capital (fascism).
Fun fact though, liberalism also supports violence (or at least passively accepts it) as long as it is mostly external. We don't get to choose non-violence. You can attack the people doing violence, join the people doing violence, or accept the people doing violence.

With the slight clarification that communists will redifine oppressors at their will, making them effectively the same in practice. * You are a worker that doesn't support the movement? Class traitor, gulag. * You made a joke about dear leader? Traitor, gulag. * You would like free elections? Foreign agent, gulag.

I appreciate your point of view, but from my interactions here, that's not my experience.
