There is pretty much no historical figure who was both a fascist and communist in the true meaning of those words. Some today consider the Chinese Communist Party to be a Fascist Government, but this mistakes the name "Communist" as having anything to do with Marxist Doctrine and mistakes Fascist as purely being authoritarian and corporatist as opposed to its ideological bases as well.

Stalin supported the philosophy of communism, while Mussolini supported the philosophy of fascism.
These more extreme ideologies arose in the tumultuous climate of the Great Depression, both the extreme right with fascism and the extreme left with communism.

Both fascism and communism are totalitarian ideologies that seek to create a centralized and powerful state, often suppressing individual freedoms and dissent. They also share a disdain for liberal democracy and capitalism, promoting their own versions of collective identity and purpose. However, a key difference lies in their economic systems: fascism supports a mixed economy with private ownership under state control, while communism advocates for the abolition of private property in favor of common ownership. Additionally, fascism often emphasizes nationalism and racial superiority, whereas communism focuses on class struggle and international solidarity.
Communism and fascism are both authoritarian political ideologies, but they differ fundamentally in their goals and ideologies. Communism advocates for a classless society where the means of production are owned collectively, aiming for egalitarianism and the abolition of private property. In contrast, fascism emphasizes nationalism, often promoting a hierarchical society based on race or ethnicity, and supports a strong, centralized government led by a dictatorial leader. While communism seeks to eliminate class distinctions, fascism seeks to strengthen national identity and unity, often at the expense of individual rights and freedoms.

Both ideologies were used to support totalitarian regimes.
Both fascism and communism in the 1930s sought to establish totalitarian states that suppressed individual freedoms and dissent in favor of a collective ideology. Each system promoted a strong, centralized government led by a single party, aiming to mobilize society for a unified purpose—whether it was the supremacy of the nation in fascism or the establishment of a classless society in communism. Additionally, both ideologies employed propaganda, censorship, and state violence to maintain control and eliminate opposition. Despite their ideological differences, they shared methods of authoritarian governance and a rejection of liberal democracy.

Communism and fascism are both examples of totalitarian governments because they seek to exert complete control over all aspects of public and private life. They employ oppressive measures, including censorship, surveillance, and state propaganda, to eliminate dissent and maintain power. Both ideologies centralize authority in a single party or leader, suppress individual freedoms, and prioritize the state or collective over personal rights. Despite their ideological differences, they share the common goal of establishing an all-encompassing rule that limits personal autonomy.
