Answer: The governments encourage entrepreneurs to start businesses, is not a shared characteristic of communism and fascism.

Explanation: Communism is an ideology that advocates for the elimination of private property and the means of production, and instead envisions a classless society where the state owns and controls all property and production. In this sense, entrepreneurs and businesses as we typically understand them do not exist.

Fascism, on the other hand, is a far-right authoritarian ideology that seeks to create a centralized, dictatorial government and a harmonious, national community. While fascism does not necessarily oppose private ownership and the establishment of businesses, it prioritizes the interests and goals of the state over those of the individual or business.

Thus, while both communism and fascism place the greater good of society over individual liberties and tend to establish totalitarian control over the people, they differ in their stance on private ownership and the role of businesses.
