The aspects of fascism most people think of (restricted freedoms) are not specific to fascism but rather to authoritarianism, which shows up in nazism and communism (in all or almost all variants tried).

Fascism includes the close coordination of companies, which remain functional but are subject to command by the national government. In communism, companies (to the extent they remain companies) are owned by the state. Both have strict control of freedom.
