The source is that it’s all over the internet. And yet no one can actually find it in any of Lenin’s writings.

What is the difference between Communism, Fascism, and today’s American Democracy headed by the likes of Nefarious Nan? Some day a Freeper will escape the American gulag and tell his story of woe and despair and it will not be believed.

Asked to respond to Sayragul Sauytbay’s description of her experience, the Chinese Embassy in Sweden wrote to Haaretz that her account is “total lies and malicious smear attacks against China.” Sauytbay, it claimed, “never worked in any vocational education and training center in Xinjiang, and has never been detained before leaving China” – which she did illegally, it added. Furthermore, “Sayragul Sauytbay is suspected of credit fraud in China with unpaid debts [of] about 400,000 RMB” (approximately $46,000).

Who’s telling the truth? Muslims are known to lie, kill, destroy for their religion. The Chinese government is known to lie, kill, and give no thought to human rights.

Thanks for your comments.

I understood the comment on fascism as being simply terminology distiction. A general term to describe total government control is “Totalitarianism”, which I think von Hayek used as he showed there was no difference in the path of the German form or the Soviet form on “The Road to Serfdom”. Your observation about a “market face” and the “appearance of independent owners” is exactly how I understand Nazism.

The brutality is the same no matter what system or terminology is used to justify it. That we call “tyranny”. The Democrats will continue down the Road to Serfdom. I cannot imagine how it might be stopped. If the term “communism” which was Marx’ ideal that the workers all own and share everything in the economy and make production decisions by voting, which idea is commonly hidden by Democrats under the term “democracy”, if that term shares the ignominy of the term “fascism” they simply substitute any other newspeak term they like.

I was in Ukraine after the freedom came teaching in the Slavic Baptist Institute in Kovel, a school for unregistered church workers founded under the auspices of the friends of Giorgi Vins. My students approached me during recess, about a dozen of them, with Sasha the interpreter to ask “Why don’t Americans recognize that Hillary is a communist?” The Jezebel was leading her first attempt at socialized medicine you remember at that time. I answered, “ Well, they say she is a socialist”. They all laughed at that and Sasha told me, “A socialist is a communist who is not in power yet.” I laughed at that but then I shifted into teacher mode and said, “Technically, she is a Fascist and she gives it away when she talks about public/private “partnerships”.

“The goal of socialism is communism.” -—
If you find an attribution (good luck and let us know please) the quote would not mean what we are projecting on to it. If anyone has a copy of the Communist Manifesto please weigh in. Socialism was the idea of using government structure to bring about the eventual workers paradise. But then, the members of the communes, all the workers would share and participate and ultimately government would no longer be necessary. So the goal of the temporary government programs, socialism, is the ultimate and inevitable progress, progressivism, toward the worker’s paradise, communism.

It’s also a country with over two thousand years of treating itself and it’s people like dirt. I’ve no sympathy for them.
