Both are pretty much ideological fanaticism - in my book that's a hell of a lot nearer to religion than greed.
In both cases the central government took over industry and agriculture. They took all the resources and production, then rationed what they thought the needs were to the population.

And both systems collapsed. Leading to millions of deaths.
