I agree. I've found it difficult to distinguish the fine nuances between communism, socialism and fascism. Sound like a good idea for its own thread.

"Capitalism asserts that property is privately owned and privately controlled".
" communism says property is commonly owned and government controlled."
"Fascism is an economic and social theory that property, though privately owned, is subject to government control."

This is as good of a basic explanation as I have seen.

Thanks for those.

Looks like fascism is what we have here.

Watch all the anti's get angry for earning that label. "This has nothing to do with Hitler..."
