the difference is simple.
Commies worship the state or the idea of the collective.
Fascists worship an individual and rally around that individual as supreme leader with distribution of wealth based on the direction of the leader.
Commies secure all capital and wealth under the collective and force all people to live under “equal” conditions. Everyone gets the same amount of pay for work, they can only own one state manufactured car and live under a state owned collective roof wearing state made clothes. You only have state run media.
Under fascism, there is a pretense that you can prosper but that prosperity is linked to the party and the leader. Loyalty provides comfort. You have state “controlled” media mainly providing propaganda for the leader.
What we have now is moving toward the fascist/socialist model. Don’t be bullied into believing you can’t equate the current leadership to the slide toward fascism, the similarities are too perilous to ignore.
Yes,
And we have allowed it to happen.
Education is the primary culprit IMO.
It started w/ the peace movement during Viet Nam in the universities and has worked its way down through the lower education grades picking this cause or that one until now even preschooler are taught, fairness, collective sharing, environmentalism and its enemy Big Business.
Big Business must be controlled or it will destroy the planet.
IMO the Women's Movement with the mantra that a woman could not be fulfilled unless she got into the workforce and out of the house is another contributor.
But who's going to care for the child while mommy is working? Why the government. So parents gave up bringing up the child to the State. And so it goes.
Of course working women lessened their possibility to marry, but we can't deny them the pleasure of having a child just because they're not married, so illegitimacy is normalize.
Now we have millions of children being brought up, financed and educated by the State. Taught all the gobbledygook concerning evil business, fairness, distorted rights.
And the government encourages this by increased welfare checks per child.
The masses love government control/regulation of businesses because they've been educated to believe business and corporation want to crush and take advantage of them. Oh, and destroy the planet and all its furry friends.
We have a prime example of government fascism in action right now.
Boeing wanting to expand a plant in South Carolina and the government not allowing it. Where does the government have the authority to stop Boeing?
Do we hear a public outcry that Uncle Sam has overstepped? chirp chip.
