C Both share a similar economic philosophy.
D Both were invented in Germany.

Answer 1

A. Both try to suppress political freedoms.

Answer 2

A Both try to suppress political freedoms.

Although some of the characteristics mentioned in the other options could also be considered, the most representative characteristic is that in Fascist countries, like Communist regimes, political freedom is prosecuted.

Any kind of political opposition tends to be eliminated under the form of mass executions, imprisonment or torture: the case of the USSR's gulags, mass purges demonstrated this. All of this was carried under the command of Stalin and the disposal of the Communist party.

"For the good of the nation" "for the working class" .

In Germany the Gestapo controlled the social and political uprisings, as secret police, they didn't hesitate to disarm any movements that challenged the voice of Nazi party.

We can see that political freedom is endangered since an enormous political apparatus develops with police and intelligence that foresees the control and the continuation of an authoritarian rule.
