Fascism and communism are direct political opposites

Pro = Type1 = Fascism and communism are direct political opposites
Con = the_bat_man = Fascism and communism are not direct political opposites
My opponent has forfeited the first round, leaving me to make the opening arguments.
A1: The Definitions
Let us make clear what we are debating by defining what exactly "Fascism" and "Communism" mean. The definition of "Fascism" as defined by Merriam-Webster is below.

The definition of "communism" as defined by Merriam-Webster is below.

At first glance, fascism and communism do look like direct political opposites. Using information derived from the definitions, you can say that fascism is the basis for dictatorial, nationalist and totalitarian regimes. Hitler was known as a strong believer in the fascist agenda (even though he went by the misleading name National-Socialist, or "Nazi" for short) as was Mao Zedong, the dictator of China who oversaw the Cultural Revolution. And using information from the second definition you can tell that any nation that believes in it will have publically owned businesses and everyone will be equal (a liberal’s dream come true).
But let’s look at the second definition of communism, it which it is capitalized.

Yes, the dictionary can not tell us everything. But Communism can also be defined by how it has played out in history.
Here are the nations that are currently running on the communist agenda.
-China
-North Korea
-Vietnam
-Cuba
-Laos
Tell me, have any of those countries turned out well? Are any of them “a final stage of society in Marxist theory in which the state has withered away and economic goods are distributed equitably?” The short answer is no.
-China killed and silenced millions of people during the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution
-North Korea puts people and death camps and has threatened Japan, South Korea, and the US with nuclear bombs
-North Vietnam attacked South Vietnam in the 50s and 60s and killed millions of people
-Cuba killed thousands of people during the Cuban Revolution
-Laos killed thousands of people along with the Vietnamese
You know, maybe it’s just me, but I’m not seeing any good stuff here.
A3: Karl Marx’s Intentions
This section is basically my interpretation of the Communist Manifesto (yes, I have read it).
The reason communism doesn’t work is because the point of it is for the people (proleteriat) to someday rise up and take over the government. But this can’t happen instantly. So while the proleteriat are waiting to rise up, there has to be some kind of government. And that is a government where all the wealth is distributed. Communism degrades personal freedoms. See, if somebody studied for 8 years to be a surgeon, that wouldn’t matter. Because the person next door works at McDonald’s and they get paid the same amount of money.
I’m still not seeing any good stuff.
Conclusion

1. Fascism is a totalitarian form of government.
   
2. Communism has been shown to have totalitarian forms of government.
   
3. Therefore, they are not direct political opposites.
