First of all, you’re wrong about socialist states, they’ve historically been tremendously uplifting for their working classes. There simply isn’t the “translation of money into power” you’re posturing about, but instead a dramatic reorientation of society to where the working classes are on top. The rest of your comment is based on this essentially false premise.
Fascism isn’t capitalism generally, fascism is capitalism in specific conditions. I am generalizing, but I’m not wrong here either.
Communism must be global, but each country can become socialist before then, and actually must. The reason communism has to be global isn’t because of “siege,” or claiming society can’t change, it’s because in order to abolish class all production and distribution must be collectivized. Things don’t “turn out bad” in socialism historically.

No translation of money into power maybe in the case of GDR. But a lot into mobility.
None of this implies equivalence to former modes of production.
