    Communism/socialism requires some mechanism to compel cooperation with the collective's objectives. The greater the degree of central planning, the greater the authoritarianism required to implement it. When you reach a level of centralization sufficient to justify the "communism" label, you're well into the "authoritarian" quadrants.

    Like I said. It's debatable, whereas authoritarianism is quite literally intertwined into fascism at the conceptual level. Maybe Communism can't be separated from authoritarianism at the practical execution level, I'm not here to debate that. I am telling you that they can be conceptually separated, fascism cannot.
