I really think the whole “fascist/communist” split is a long term propaganda ploy to separate “bad communism” from “good communism” communism remains the dream that’s never fulfilled because it always becomes “fascist”.
When all implementations are the same. Centralized control of factories and goods.
“Islam is the perfect religion for the warrior’’.- Heinrich Himmler.
I wouldn’t even call them statists, more like anarchists since those guys have absolutely NO respect for the law at all. Not to mention Marx specifically indicated that not only would class distinctions fade away, but also the state, meaning he wanted lawlessness, literal lawlessness akin to the French Revolution. As did Lenin, he made sure to make law and order illegal in the Soviet Union, make it literally lawless (just read Gary Saul Morson’s Leninthink).
And let’s not forget Sartre advocated for all of the above and specifically viewed himself as an anarchist. As did most of the left during that time and during the Spanish Civil War, siding with the Spanish Republicans who were, among other things, anarcho-syndicalists. And that’s not even getting into their founding fathers, the French Enlightenment, who wanted God removed and any and all law and order. Read Barruel’s Jacobin Memoirs.
