Fascism, notably in Germany and Italy leading up to and during World War II, involved extreme control of the government over its citizens. Russia during the Soviet (Communist) period also emphasized conformit. At times, particularly under Stalin, they were downright ruthless. In this respect, Fascism and (at least sometimes) Communism have been quite similar.

On the other hand, the underlying sentiment of Communism is international, and history is perceived as a struggle between upper and lower classes in all countries. Fascism values one's own country above all else, and many Fascists of whatever country view every other country as inferior. In this way, Communism and Fascism are quite different.

Finally, consider that each country in each period of time is not going to be exactly comparable to a different country, and not necessarily the same as that same country 50 years down the road, no matter what word is applied to their way of government.

What two European leaders were associated with fascism?

The main leader of Fascism was the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. Other examples of prominent Fascist leaders were Antonio Salazar in Portugal, Francisco Franco in Spain and the Engelbert Dollfuss-Kurt Schuschnigg regime in Austria. Adolf Hitler is often linked with Fascism, but technically, he was not a Fascist. His own political philosophy, Nazism, seems very similar to Fascism but differs in some important ways, especially in that it heavily emphasized racism (which Fascism mostly did not) and was not very concerned with economics (which Fascism very much was).
