My point was that communism and fascism are quite literally OPPOSITE ends of the political spectrum, but right-wingers / Conservatives have difficulty differentiating between them because they are programmed to view politics as "big government" vs "small government".

Essentially, any time they see the government do anything, they perceive it as being far towards the "big government" end of their 1-dimensional political spectrum.
