"Stalinism" isn't really a thing outside of specific policy positions in the early USSR, it isn't an ideology. Marxism-Leninism was synthesized by Stalin, sure, but he didn't divert from Marx or Lenin, merely outlined "Marxism-Leninism." Fascism on the other hand is best characterized by its specific conditions, chiefly being arising from capitalism in decay. Liberalism is closer to the "positive" face of capitalism, and fascism is the "negative" face.

In socialism, power doesn't consolidate in the top. The socialist state has more power than the capitalist state, but that's because there isn't such power in private hands. The working class has expanded power in socialism.
