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.
Fascism cannot exist without an authoritarianism element lol. Can it?
Nor can communism.
Debatable.
Fascism isn’t.
