@f3tsch906 well that's funny because most people and some historians would praise Gengis khan while demonizing hitler as the prime evil of humanity, intelectuals would praise communism and make excuses for mao, stalin and polpot or not even mention them at all, most documentaries are focused on ww2 and the nazi's very few focus on the jappanese or the soviet style camps, famines and genocide, including of jewish people btw by stalin.
point is you say althistory is bad because he does not condem them all equally but nobody els seems to do that as well and they don't even look at the numbers to begin with, they don't even make a scale or attempt to make a scale.
people today treat hitler like napoleon was remembered back in the day, I don't like depicting people as inhumane monsters despite their best efforts to be like that, that does not make them good or oke, it just makes them human with flaws, good and bad sides and evil vs nessisary evil, because lets face it if you want to expand your borders and take over Europe or the world, people gonna die, that's just how it is, same for the USA, China and every other future super power, violence is just the key to all things within power politics, wealth, riches, influence, technology, it all means nothing if you don't have violence on your side as a power.

@jacobw2573 in terms of government structure, policies, outcomes and enemies they are quite the same, the only real difference is fascism still maintains some form of market mechanics, while communism seeks to create a planned economy, communism has a worldwide agenda while fascism is more local and focused on national interest to the extreme, both hate capitalism, both hate democracy, both hate free speech, love censorship, militarism and supressing people that disagree with them.
they aren´t identical and there are some varients through out history but overal they all work the same way.
a good side note is that these ideologies would not be able to exist without modern technology, from radio, mass printed media, propaganda, logistics, administrative bodies and secret police, people like to think these ideologies are gone but they are more present then ever and a potential super power China is create even more advanced forms of controle which is quite a terrifying development, even more so due to people not taking the threat serieusly while pretending to fight ghosts of the past, it´s all rather childish and insane to be honest.
