Fascism views political violence, war, and imperialism positively and it asserts that stronger nations have the right to expand their territory by displacing weaker nations since the national race was in perpetual conflict with other nations and races.

Why are communism and fascism considered at opposite ends of the political s pectrum?
The reason is because the political systems of government can be looked at based on power and wealth distribution and the populace of a nation and measured by the wealth gap of citizens. The spectrum can be looked at like this.
Fascism - power = power (force/military/police state) (Nazi Germany)
Capitalism - money = power (rich rule) (really what the US is today)
Republic - majority = power, however minority rights are protected through a bill of rights all citizens have in order to protect them from an oppressive minority (religious freedom for example), and wealth distribution is not strongly governed however there is a basic infrastructure in place to allow motivated citizens to excel. (What the US Constitution attempted to establish)
Socialism - majority = power, however the rights of citizens are more progressively controlled through the system in order to ensure that all citizens are afforded equal opportunity regardless of how wealthy they are born (infrastructure, education including college, medicine, living wage for students, etc... is paid for by collective taxation). (France, Canada, Holland, Sweden, etc..etc.. most civilized democracies)
Marxism - ruling class = power, wealth is distributed in order to have society work as a single unit, greatly reducing the wealth gap, information is controlled.
Communism - ruling class = power, however the government's job is to ensure that wealth distribution gives equality to all citizens regardless of skill, all citizens are equal (in "ideal" communism).
In this respect, fascism is force of the ruling class, and the bulk of the nations wealth is in the hands of a very small % of citizens. On the opposite end of the spectrum communism's goal is to eliminate any wealth gap (or even a need for money, food is often evenly rationed, housing is provided by the government, citizens are assigned jobs, etc...). There is also the concept of individualism at the fascist/capitalist end where a citizen born into privilege will simply excel, and a poor citizen will die in a gutter without support. The systems range from selfish to selfless in respect to individualism.

Fascists differed from communist because fascists?
Fascism is a radical right-wing belief that all individual should conform to rigid social norms, especially those that support the predominant economic, political and religious institutions. This typically means a dictator who collaborates with the wealthy and powerful, as Hitler did. Fascists do believe in private ownership of property.
Communism is a left-wing belief that private ownership creates power structures that bring about oppression. Communists content that if everything is held by the community (i.e., the government), it will not create the same type of greed and abuses of power.
Communism and fascism are both radical views - but they are at opposite ends of the political spectrum. Confusion occurs because communist systems frequently become fascist. This happens because communist leaders come to power declaring that they will protect the rights of the poor and weak, and treat everyone equally. Unfortunately, they quickly become dictators and create a governmental system that protects their monopoly on power... just as the fascists do.
