    Not many communist States that I can think of the entwine the state and religion, or protect corporate poor. Authoritarian regimes are going to be authoritarian, whether facist, communist, or monarchichal, but saying that communism and fascism are same suggests you don’t understand what they each involve.

      I agree with the rest of your point, but I do want to remark that communist states do entwine state and religion: they don’t leave people’s religious beliefs alone, they promote atheism and discriminate against religious people, as well as gradually hijack leadership positions of religious organizations.
