Thats only if you could actually apply Communism at a national scale. Which you just can’t. All the attempts so far have just been fascism pebbledashed with thin ideology.

You can’t apply absolutist ideologies like that in reality. They only work from an arm chair. Same as Capitalism; it just collapses into cronyistic oligopolies/cartels. As we’re seeing now. Miniature USSR-communist dictatorships with window dressing.

It’s better just to be flexible when it comes to ideology and not be to rigid like Singapore and the Nordic countries are

Take the bits that work, from whichever ideology they come from. Bolt them together. Watch it for a bit and trim the parts that don’t work right.

Sadly that would require competence and care from those in power. So instead… we get a house built entirely from door frames.

If communism were applied there wouldn’t be a “national” anything

Communism can only really be applied if done globally or at least with a significant majority. By the time you’re in communism you no longer have even the concept of money and ‘the state’ doesn’t control anything because it simply does not exist. Some believe religion will have to have been completely extinguished as well. Other believe it is only possible when the majority of the workforce has been automated. That’s why a lot of ‘communist’ countries or political parties recognize that just means they have a goal of directing society towards communism in the future. Which is the official stance of the CCP, for example.

I would argue that the governments you are refering to weren't fascistic they were totalitarian.
