Communism in theory and in practice advocates "class cleansing".

Have a look at pictures of Cuban leaders. Did you notice a lot of blacks amoung them?

Fundamentally the henchman that do the dirty work are indistinguishable and can move from one extreme to another fluidly. If you look into it, most of the real Nazis(Third Riech) were recruited from German communist groups in the 1930s, hence the term National "Socialism".
