Both are totalitarian ideologies which always have and continue to require the persecution of dissidents.

It's authoritarianism in the name of egalitarian ideals.

Empowering them by working them to death in uranium mines without PPE. Yes that was an actual form of punishment in Czechoslovakia in 1950s right after communist putsch.

> Because an ideology to empower workers is the same as a fascist and racist regime

Communism has never achieved that, and given the numerous examples of its horrific failures over the 20th century, it is not reasonable to expect that it ever will.

I implore everyone to study the history of the Soviet Union, Maoist China, North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Communism is at least as evil as fascism.
