Communism - A system of government where all property is owned and controlled by the government. Laws are defined, redefined and enforced based on the whim of the government.
Fascism - A system of government where most property is nominally owned by individuals and groups, but is actually controlled completely through government regulation such that the nominal owners effectively have little or no control over their property (and thus their lives). Laws are defined, redefined and enforced based on the whim of the government.
Socialism - A variant of fascism intended to lead to communism.
Collectivism - A philosophy that defines the importance of the collective as superior to the importance of the individual. See also Communism, Fascism and Socialism.
Capitalism - A system of government where most or all property is actually owned by private individuals or groups and where the rights of those owners are facilitated by objective rules of law enforced objectively by the government. Laws are defined by the consent of the governed through direct or indirect representation and are constrained by basic rights of man, usually articulated in a constitution.
Religious Fascism - A system of government resembling fascism, but where the principles of the law are defined by purported communications with or inferences about the whims of a supernatural being or beings rather than the whims of men.
