no, dumbass. fascism is not the final step before communism!! where did you go to school? in a fascist country, the state, the fatherland, nationalism out the wazoo, is the ultimate object for all the citizens to work toward, kind of like worker bees are all devoted to the Queen Bee. no individual thought or will, just a mindless collective of worker bees working for the Fatherland, with no real freedom or individuality accepted. in Nazi Germany, Hitler also claimed he was doing God's will, and Jesus's, much like nazi bitches here do. I agree, the lack of free will, democratic values, individuality and freedom in general that true fascist states exhibit is INCREDIBLY SIMILAR TO COMMUNIST REGIMES, but they are actually opposites, as far as political ideology goes. fascism is extreme right wing and communism is extreme left wing, but the lack of personal freedom in both is the same.
