Communism, Fascism and Nazism

What is the difference between Communism, Fascism and Nazism?

These are the three main ideologies for which major wars have been fought in the last 100 years or so (World War II, Cold War). But how do they differ.

Well communism has socialist and leftist leanings. Communism is associated with the soviet regime (But the base ideas of this ideology were of Karl Marx, a German).

Nazism has socialist and rightist leanings. Nazism is associated with Hitler regime in Germany.

Fascism also has socialist and rightist leanings. Fascism is associated with Mussolini regime in Italy.

 

 

So what is the difference between Fascism and Nazism if both are socialist and rightist?

Wikipedia tells us that Nazism is generally considered a form of fascism. But there are some subtle differences. More on that at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism#Nazism_and_Fascism
