"The only practical difference between fascism and socialism is that in a communist society government owns all property and directs all enterprise, whereas in a fascist society private property ownership continues, but entrepreneurs must submit to government's ideologies and goals - chief of which is the task of funding government programs with the proceeds of private enterprise. "
And just FYI, right now in Russia private property is much more private than it is in most of this country. The Russians, once they buy a place, can do whatever the heck they want to do with it and their land. No building permits, no county licenses, no electricians certificates, etc. No neighborhood societies requiring this or that.
They might have more dacha fires, but they are far more free when it comes to real freedom, in this and some other aspects, than most of us. If you want to hear the rest of their freedoms, let me know.
I suggest you take a closer look at the state of Russian "private" property. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Maybe you should do a Russian thread....interesting comments, you have made. I was fascinated by that Putin quote on your home page. Can you give me any more info on it?
Thanks
