ALL are de humanizing, totalitarian systems
They are all shades of totalitarianism.
That’s like choosing what color socks to wear. Still socks!
I don’t due vanities, but...
Voluntary Vanity Donation made.
That deserves a bump.

Mussolini’s Fascist Maifesto translated to English says:
“Italians! Here is the program of a genuinely Italian movement. It is revolutionary because it is anti-dogmatic, strongly innovative and against prejudice.
For the political problem: We demand:
a) Universal suffrage polled on a regional basis, with proportional representation and voting and electoral office eligibility for women.
b) A minimum age for the voting electorate of 18 years; that for the office holders at 25 years.
c) The abolition of the Senate.
d) The convocation of a National Assembly for a three-years duration, for which its primary responsibility will be to form a constitution of the State.
e) The formation of a National Council of experts for labor, for industry, for transportation, for the public health, for communications, etc. Selections to be made from the collective professionals or of tradesmen with legislative powers, and elected directly to a General Commission with ministerial powers.
For the social problems: We demand:
a) The quick enactment of a law of the State that sanctions an eight-hour workday for all workers.
b) A minimum wage.
c) The participation of workers’ representatives in the functions of industry commissions.
d) To show the same confidence in the labor unions (that prove to be technically and morally worthy) as is given to industry executives or public servants.
e) The rapid and complete systemization of the railways and of all the transport industries.
f) A necessary modification of the insurance laws to invalidate the minimum retirement age; we propose to lower it from 65 to 55 years of age.
For the military problem: We demand:
a) The institution of a national militia with a short period of service for training and exclusively defensive responsibilities.
b) The nationalization of all the arms and explosives factories.
c) A national policy intended to peacefully further the Italian national culture in the world.
For the financial problem: We demand:
a) A strong progressive tax on capital that will truly expropriate a portion of all wealth.
b) The seizure of all the possessions of the religious congregations and the abolition of all the bishoprics, which constitute an enormous liability on the Nation and on the privileges of the poor.
c) The revision of all military contracts and the seizure of 85 percent of the profits therein.”
The translator continues:
“This is what the Fascist party ostensibly stood for. So when you accuse someone of being Fascist, technically, you’re accusing them of (among other things), abolishing the Senate, raising taxes on the rich, giving women the right to vote, establishing a minimum wage, lowering the retirement age to 55, making military service mandatory, nationalizing the weapons industry, and spreading Italian culture around the world.
“Have you ever heard Donald Trump advocate any of those policies? If not, then, strictly speaking, he’s not a Fascist. He may have some other Fascist-esque tendencies… that aren’t uniquely Fascist… but why call him a Fascist when it would be more accurate to just describe his negative tendencies? I don’t like Trump, but calling him a Fascist would require cherry-picking what it means to be one, and that would be intellectually lazy at best and intellectually dishonest at worse.”
“Define your terms” - Marxism, Socialism, Fascism, Communism, Nazism
Easy. That is the existing government at all levels.
Money grubbing, smug, self satisfied turds in ties and skirts.
Fascism is the moral middle ground between souless ‘beggar your neighbor’ unrestrained capitalism and souless ‘beggar everyone but the ruling elite’ communism. Free ownership with profiteering restrained by reasonable regulation. Promotes unity and pride. Permits or encourages religious practice.
Nazism, while claiming to be rooted in Fascism, on the other hand, combines the excesses of socialism and the excesses of nationalism.
Pick your poison, All synonyms and replacement definitions for the propaganda keyword “Democracy”.
Same term, different words.
All are about collectivism, group think, and adherence to club rules, exclusion and attacks of everyone else.
All need to be destroyed. Such minds cannot be deprogrammed, only eliminated.
They all agree to destroy the following:
1—The free market or Capitalism must be destroyed
2—Rid of private property
3—Every excuse for tyranny is for “the common good”.
4—The state is your god.
5—Any adverse thought is unacceptable and a threat
I think the real question is this: Does someone think that they are all basically the same or do they believe them to have major differences?
Those who think that they are all basically the same appear to have a rather simplistic and unhelpful view of the world.
Freetraitors tend to say they believe them to all be the same, but then they believe that a completely free market is actually possible in this world and that somehow their libertarianism is less utopian than communism.
My term is corporatism, but all of these terms apply to one degree or another.
I hope some of the scholars here make some contributions. I’d like to see some serious responses.
As I understand it, all these began with Marxism, Karl Marx’s theory/philosophy that people would identify with others who did what they did and come together to overthrow ‘the ruling class’. Or to put it more plainly, he believed that Polish plumbers would have feelings of solidarity with French and Italian plumbers rather than with Polish pilots and architects. This turned out to be false. It turns out that people do love their own languages, their histories, their cultures, and his ‘vision’ never came to fruition.
Hitler founded the National Socialist Party, with emphasis on the ‘national’ bit. His fight with the Communists was that they didn’t share the national notion. Hence his desire to eliminate the Communists.
Fascism is a little different. Fascia is the Italian word for sheaf. It Italy, the Communist Party is symbolized by a sheaf of wheat to indicate that you might break a single stalk of wheat, but you cannot break a sheaf of it. Likewise paper. You can tear a sheet, but not a sheaf of papers. Pascism holds that everything must come under the control of the State. We had a demonstration of this when 0bama was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2017 and March 25-30, he invited GM CEO Rick Wagoner to the WH and had him step down - under duress. Causing duress is vitally important to fascists. In a fascist model, the gov’t. benevolently permits free enterprise, but it determines who the players will be - who’ll be the customers, what they will pay, etc.. This is what we had with 0bamacare. Insurance cos. were still in business, but they were told who the customers would be (everyone) and what the ins. cos. were permitted to charge.
I hope others chime in and help clarify my thoughts. I thank them in advance.
Marxist: Follows teachings of Marx/Engels
Socialist: Follows teachings of Marx/Engels
Communist: Follows teachings of Marx/Engels
Fascist: Anything the left disagrees with
Nazi: Anything the left disagrees with
Socialism: Belief that the answer to society is with a centralized government making the decisions to benefit all. The Government has sole control of all products and property.
Marxism: A method of Socialism that has been tried but actually never achieved, purporting to divide labor, responsibility, and equity evenly.
Communism: What Marxism in practice leads to. Totalitarian and oppressive government which is completely political in the distribution of labor, responsibility and equity.
Fascism: Where Corporation and Government work closely together for the benefit of both, but not necessarily the people. Corruption at the level of Government and Corporations leads to atrocities and inequity.
Nazism: A working example of Fascism.
American Socialist Democratic Party: A current form of New Facism wherein large corporations with global interest and corrupted politicians subvert the people for their own benefit and rob the treasury.
According to Joshua Muravchik in HEAVEN ON EARTH: THE RISE AND FALL OF SOCIALISM -
Communism is international socialism - all nations must be united into one before realized - ie. globalism
Fascism is national socialism - it can be realized within one nation and defined by that nationality even before others join - ie. Nazi Germany and Mussolini’s Italy
To the communists, fascism is a perverse heresy. Since WW2 they have tried to tar and feather it by calling it extreme right wing. However, it is a form of leftism that denies the international character of communism.
It all means a boot on my neck.
