In practice USSR was fascist since Stalin came to power. Argue all you want here, but the only difference was social hierarchy. On paper. As sold to common folk. In practice, since Stalin, a rigid hierarchy was established and enforced. It had a name, Nomenclature.
USSR was authoritarian - one guy run the show since Stalin.
Ultranationalist- soviet vs rest of the world. Argue till you are blue, but soviets its just a different name for the nation concept.
Centralized autocracy. People did not rule jack shit.
Militarism - they sure do love their parades.
Forcible suppression of opposition.
Belief in natural social hierarchy. Nomenclature is one thing and the same as current day oligarchy. People were trained to uphold it.
Hell, equality in USSR was also worth jack shit. In the 90s russia opened archives. Guess what, georgian soviets were sent first to the meat grinder. Prime example Battle of Berlin.
And for fuck sake. USSR forced other countries into their system. Suppressed culture, enforce russian language. That is ultranationalism.
Also, hello. We as a group of people have a mortal enemy. That mortal enemy is ever present, weak, but always encroaching. Ever endangering us.
If I have to spell it out, it is a staple of fascism.
