> Fascism = a nationalist movement trying to dissolve all class and other distinctions into the nation. So putting the nation above all else. The role of the state may look effectually similar in the practices of both, but the reason and practice for doing so is entirely different. At least in Marxism-Leninism, you have a party vanguard implementing a dictatorship of the proletariat that could be somewhat analogous to the bureaucracy of the fascist state, so I'd say that the practices are fairly similar in at least some situations. The major difference would be that Marxism-Leninism advances the idea of that bureaucracy also using some sort of democratic process to operate and make decisions, but as we know, that can be easily undermined with a cult of personality.
