This is simply rubbish; it's based on some circular view of politics in which you just go round in a circle if you go in any one direction. It's silly and ahistorical to think this way. And a horshoe-theory like truism doesn't make your point valid.
Yes, Stalinism shared many elements with fascism, but saying "Communist art looked the same" doesn't really add to your point, and just makes me suspect the credibility of your point.
I'm interested in what you see as the racism existing in the USSR (I'm being charitable and assuming you are referring to the USSR rather than Communism in general, as Communism in general is not a racist ideology). I have to admit that I know very little about racism in the USSR.
How does Communism share totalitarianism in general? It is the very process of advocating the abolition of the state and all unjust hierarchies. It is anarchistic by nature.
>The way individuals just don't matter
In what way? Drawing these parallels is nothing more than saying "fascists and Communists both drink water, that means that they're the same".
Please provide some evidence or credibility to your claims about Communism other than a very restricted view of the political continuum.
