We are not equating "communists" with fascism, we are equating authoritarian communists with fascism. They are both as bad because they are both authoritarian regimes that are based around opressing the people.

And holicaust trivialization? Didn't the URSS kill a shit ton of people as well? Isn't China commiting crimes against humanity as well?

If you think the USSR is an "authoritarian"(whatever that means) communist country and you are equating it to fascists you are doing what the Jewish holocaust scholar is calling holocaust trivialization. They are primarily talking about equating the USSR and fascism. Did you read the article?
