In the simplest way to say it. Fascism is anticommunism. Fascism was created at the rise of communism as an opposition to communism.
The reason that fascism is so loosely defined and ideologically incoherent is because they basically inverted the theory that communists had. Fascists look at whatever communists are doing and then do the opposite.
As example, communists have the concept of class conflict whereas workers and capitalists are in conflict because of the exploitation of surplus labor value. Fascists, such as Benito Mussolini, created an opposite concept called "class collaboration" whereas fascists believe that workers and capitalist are collaborating with each other for the benefit of creating a stronger nation, nationalism.
