If fascism is capitalism in crisis then communism is the crisis it was responding to the first time. Organized workers fundamentally threatened capitalism.
I don't agree that it is fighting communism this time. More likely it's reaching the limits of the infinite growth that it requires. Local markets are becoming increasingly anemic and distant ones are either already exploited or are pushing back against foreign capital.
Capitalism threatens itself and fascism is it's last gasp.
