Actually, beck is wrong. Zero is a fascist, not a marxist.

Unfortunately, the truth is much more boring than that: he's just a run-of-the mill modern European-style social democrat.

He wants a big, redistributive welfare state funded by high and progressive taxes, together with powerful labor unions. I've seen no evidence that he wants to foment a violent proletarian revolution to sieze the means of production, as a Marxist would. Neither have I seen any evidence that he wants to restrict all economic activity to state-approved industrial cartels and labor syndicates, as a facist would.

Of course, I'm willing to be corrected if someone shows me some evidence.
