Fascists are and will forever be the absolute opposite of socialists and communists

Stryker, I don't think you have to be particularly well-read to see that this statement is false.

Fascists and socialists are and will forever be sworn enemies; but they are not and have never been absolute opposites.

Fascism and communism are both anti-liberal, anti-individual, anti-freedom. They are both scavengers picking at the carcass of faltering or failed capitalism, and in this they have a profound commonality.

The only way you can declare them to be "absolute opposites" is to absolutely discard that which they absolutely have in common, which is their disdain for the sovereignty of the individual.
