Maybe I've been confused this whole time,

yes.
Communism = stateless, classless, moneyless society

Mussolini's corporativismo is just guild socialism

that's as ridiculous as claiming Hitler was a socialist.

"""(at least as we've seen it in practice so far)""" An idealistic definition of communism doesn't help conversation on the practical; no stateless, classless, moneyless form of socialism has been seen on Earth in a few thousand years. The hunter-gatherers were on point though (assuming they were mostly classless).

that's as ridiculous as claiming Hitler was a socialist.

Read L. Mises Human Action , the latter part of part 6 chapter 33 appears to be ridiculous. Be warned, the entire book is rather long (~800 pages depending on print); I've never been able to get through it all.
