I've always thought the only real difference between communists and Nazis was that with communism the state owned everything, and with the Nazis, people were under the pretense that they still actually owned property as long as they stayed in line ... and weren't of Jewish or a few other origins.
Nationalist vs Internationalist Socialism for the most part. The state also ran the economy in both but with national socialism made teh PRETENSE of having private companies, (so long as they were manned by ideology die hards, and did exactly what the state told them to at all times) Both systems were spawn of Karl Marx's ideas and desire to destroy western civilization and rebuild some organized crime utopia.
In reality there was not even that much difference. The Soviets were never really internationalists that was a lie to sell would be vassel like communist states on the Soviet plan. The reality is the Soviets and Stalin especially were absolutely nationalist, complete with believing they were a genetically superior race, incredible anti-Semitic culture only slightly better then the Nazi's and because of the Intelligence community basically acting like the black market, and mob in the economy it was just as fascist in practice.
Both are not much more then Dark Ages Serfdom, with post industrial catch phrases plastered on. In both you become serfs to the ideological elite, who don't really beleive in the ideology much themselves. The ideology is merely a license to tyrant and a way to divide the people by race or class so you can more easily subjugate them.
