Indeed. Just like their kissing cousins, the Nazis and fascists. Horseshoe Theory in action.

Not quite: fascist governments didn't AFAIK restrict movement (except during a hot war) and did generally allow dissidents to leave the country. What they did do was to rob their opponents of their wealth before letting them leave (which is why so many countries were unwilling to take Jews fleeing the Nazis: during the Depression they didn't want to be burdened with penniless refugees).
