I just disagree with the endings. They are distinct complicated models of economics and government. Religion even plays a role here. It's too complex to get in to here. There are plenty of academic sources that compare and contrast the different models. There are also multiple bogus sources that will convince you kermit the frog is a fascist.
Hitler was not a socialist is all I am saying.
As for hitler and MAO go look at the role of the church, ability to negotiate at any level, economic systems etc. They are very different. Just because they were bad dudes doesn't mean they have everything in common. Stalin as well.
