Fascism is national socialism (as opposed to international socialism--which is actually worse, because it wants power to be concentrated globally, instead of limiting it to nation-states.) The only other difference between Fascism and other forms of socialism is that it pretends to allow the ownership of private property for commercial/business purposes.

Both national and international socialism are totalitarian. And in any totalitarian system, it's the state that effectively ("de facto") owns every person and every thing, so any "private" property or "free" market can only be an illusion. State communism is just honest about it.

As for Anarcho-Communism, it seeks what cannot exist: The criminalization of private property. The only way to achieve that goal is to create a collective authority powerful enough compel compliance. But any such power creates a "de facto" state.
