What’s the difference if he was a Fascist, Marxist, Leninist, Socialist, Hitlerist(?), or a Communist? They’re all dictators, and that everybody puts Fascist on the right side of the political divide is a travesty.
Fascism is the softer sell. It gives you the pretense of private ownership. Yes, you can own your own factory but we(the state) are going to control the production process and tell how much you must pay your ‘’workers’’ and how much you can pay yourself. Yes you can own your own home but we’re going to tell you how you can live in it. What setting to put your thermostat to.(sound familiar, like Mr. “Hope ‘n’ Change?) Communism makes no pretense of private ownership, the state owns everything and you do what we tell you. What the two system share primarily is there is no private ownership of one’s thoughts, writings or speech.
