Well--if you read more on Islam, it's universalist ideology has overlaps with Communism. Permanent revolution till the world is under Communist rule and the Permanent Jihad until the World is under Islamic rule clearly come to mind.

Communism is obviously much younger ideology, but every totalitarian ideologies have common ingredients and that's why they quite often partner with each other to defeat their common enemies.

I don't think you go far enough, but I will accept your thesis on practical grounds. But that by definition means that the Putin cabal (not the Russian people), Red China, Syria, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, etc, etc, are the common enemies of Israel and the USA (whether our respective leadership fully comprehends this or not is a completely different question).
