No socialist project has made it to communism, because socialism has never been global, nor has all of production and distribution been collectivized. Instead, the socialism that has existed has managed to bring remarkable results in uplifting the lives of the working classes but not yet made it to a stateless, classless, moneyless society.

Socialism and fascism are diametric opposites, in socialist countries the working classes control the state and public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy, while in fascist states the capitalists control the state and private ownership is principle.
