I think of Fascism more as the opposition of Liberalism (European Liberalism, not be confused with US flavor), rather than communism.

Good thing it doesn't matter what you "think" Fascism should mean... fascism has a definition, and it is not what you "think" it is

The only way to have communism as you portrait it is by direct democracy, otherwise as long as you've a communist leader, you no longer have any communism, but a red flavor of Fascism.

I don't understand how you can say an elected communist leader is fascist, but an elected republic/democratic leader is not... that makes no sense at all... you are assuming that an elected communist leader will become a dictator, but that couldn't happen with a 'democracy'?  Germany is a democracy and they gave us Hitler... Italy gave us Mussolini... these are not communist countries, quite the opposite

And again... fascism is NOT "red flavor" (assuming you meant red as in Russian/communist, not red as in right-wing/republican)... fascism is extreme right-wing, not left... quit trying to change the definition of words to suit your opinion/bigotry
