The Short of the Long of It - The Difference Between Socialism-Communism and Fascism

Obama can be relied upon to support Clinton.

The Red Dragon of Socialism-Communism errs on the side of top-political level state planning of industries beyond the technical compentencies of its state-terror/secret-police, it gets lost in ensuring the prerogatives of its party elites.

Fascism (Gates, Buffett, Soros, Rockefeller, Ford, Roth Schild, Midas, Croesus, et. al...Koch Bros. are chump-changers), errs on the side of ruthless efficieny and economy of scale, reducing people to the status of machines, but Hitler was proof that even the Black Dragon eventually strays off its original mission to feather the beds of elites.

A definition of Fascism interpolating Carroll Quigley's Tragedy and Hope with Jules Archer's The Plot to Seize the White House:

 

If you were a sausage maker in 1910 Germany, you would either have to join the Sausage Cartel, to have your wholesale prices regulated, or, if you refused, you might become sausage yourself.

This is economy of scale, ruthless operating efficiency, that relegates human beings to the status of economic objects.

The criticism of Cottage Industries that we read in High School in the 1970s was -- they were inefficient. No one who has read or seen a movie of Dickens would have any illusions that industrialization brought about any improvement of workers' lives. There were calls in the 19th c. British Parliament to burn on the docks, finished goods for which there was no export demand, to keep poor workers occupied.

An old-style Central Banker (from the period prior to Monopoly Capitalism, called Financial Capitalism), Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht, was heard screaming behind closed doors at Hitler, who had cemented his political power by going before the leaders of German Industry, the Krups, Thyssens and IG Farbens, hat in hand promising to use his gangster militias--he had two, the Brownshirts and Blackshirts--to guarantee labor peace.

Schact eventually ran afoul the Nazis, mysteriously survived the death camps, after the war to found the German Foreign Trade Bank which he led until 1963.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, Obama's Chicago 1924-1932 Al Capone style government, isn't concerned with economy of scale or operating conditions at all.

Obama jumps right to ensuring the prerogatives of the political elite.

That's why despite the competing dynasties, Obama can be relied upon to support Clinton.

My question is “how does one include the Koch Bros. as Fascists”? Is this based on building an oil refinery in the 1930,s? They are multi-nationalistic billionaires who prefer the free market to increase their wealth. A Fascist is most likely to be a government member who has the levers of control for state planning at his disposal. Again, the Koch Bros. merely oppose most of what the DNC supports, but being on the right (rather than the wrong or left) side of political isle does not make you a “right-winger/fascist, etc.”
