and draw your own conclusions.

quote:

Difference Between Fascism and Socialism

Fascism is a dictatorial form of political ideology. Socialism, on the other hand, is an ideology where individuals of a society own the means of production. A fascist ruler wields supreme power and authority over a country. In contrast, rulers of socialist nations distribute power and authority among the states.

Never does an equal distribution take place. Dictators gonna dictate, socialists gonna acquiesce....

A Rule of Law bounds all!!

Socialism, as defined in the first sentence, has never existed. Socialism, as defined in the second contradictory addendum, is inherently authoritarian.

In other words, that definition is full of crap. There's not much effective difference between fascism and most socialist governments in practice.

And then there is capitalism where peoples' freedom to exchange goods are unrestrained.

Socialism is just soft fascism and is very dangerous slippery slope to ultimately genocide (which was proven multiple times during the 20th century).

Socialism is erring on the side of fascism.

Capitalism is erring on the side of freedom.

Always err on the side of freedom.

The real difference between a fascist and a socialist, is that the latter is trying to run everything through the shadows, while the former is open about it.

Both are the same “Do as I say, not as I do” style government.

I take issue with this definition. It isn't power and authority they spread out it's wealth. Money does not always equate to power and in socialist societies is used as a tool to manipulate and control its populations.

Stalin, Mao, Castro, Tito, Pol Pot, Ceausescu, Ho Chi Minh, and Honecker and their tens of millions of victims will be surprised to hear this.

And which of our current "rulers" would you trust to do the distributing? If they have a competing interest they're not simply going to go along with the socialist plan. Hell, all they had to do was not infringe on freedoms. They were even written down and told not to be F'd with. They couldn't even do that bud. Do you think a socialist leader is different than any other human leader in the long run?

Ayn Rand said the same thing a long time ago: 'Socialism, Communism, Fascism are all just variants of the same totalitarianism.'

The real measure of govt is how much power they have vs. how much freedom the individual has. Any increase in govt power decreases individual freedom.

Socialists only pretend to own things by definition of "the collective." That's how so many high ranking Russians walked off with the industries and national wealth when the USSR collapsed.

I'd think that if the "shared collective" was real, they would have issued a share of stock to every person for every industry and asset, but the elite just took everything which they in essence already controlled as personal property.
