In which way were stalins communist state and hitlers fascist state similar

They were similar because both Hitler and Stalin were dictators that controlled their countries with an iron grip. This is propelled by the fact that one single party ruled both countries, being communism in the Soviet Union and the Nazi party in Germany. Both were also driven by an ideology in each country as well. I hope this helps
