Yes, because any form of social organization and collaboration, other than capitalism, must be communism. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To be fair, any form of human organization that is not commerce-based is heavy on the Faccism scale. It matters very little if it's communist or something else.
But then, there are many ways to organize a society while keeping it commerce-based... Or maybe we manage to finally crack that nut some day and make a post-scarcity society. But on the short term "manage resources globally" heavily implies an anti-humane dictatorship.

Yes, because any form of social organization and collaboration, other than capitalism, must be fascism. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hum... I assumed the GP was joking. You don't seem to be.
Try finding at history some place where the society isn't fundamentally organized around commerce or under some heavy kind of authoritarianism.

Then you’d be shocked to learn that Wisconsin had socialist politicians for over a hundred years, creating green spaces, building great infrastructure, public schools and colleges.
Then Scott Walker shredded a bunch of it because socialism is bad.

Rule of law is not derived from commerce and is not fascism. We can agree beyond some threshold and make laws. There's nothing fascist about limiting liberties with laws chosen democratically.
