Has a communist state ever turned fascist?

Question

This is a history question so saying, "At this point it's sort of moot as there really aren't that many countries to worry about" is stupid. Thumbs down.

Answer 1

I'm not really sure where you draw the line between fascism and communism.  In so many ways they really are the same.  I think that a country can slip and slide between the two and not even realize.  At this point it's sort of moot as there really aren't that many countries to worry about

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Modern China is a fascist state by any reasonable definition of that word.

Answer 4

theoretically there's a fine line between the two, though the political spectrum dictates that they're polar opposites, remember you still have a dictator...

Answer 5

Soviet Union under Stalin
