How are communism and fascism examples of totalitarian governments?

Communism and fascism are both examples of totalitarian governments because they seek to exert complete control over all aspects of public and private life. They employ oppressive measures, including censorship, surveillance, and state Propaganda, to eliminate dissent and maintain power. Both ideologies centralize authority in a single party or leader, suppress individual freedoms, and prioritize the state or collective over personal rights. Despite their ideological differences, they share the common goal of establishing an all-encompassing rule that limits personal autonomy.
