    Capitalism is not fascism, communism is fascism.

      Fascism is Capitalism in more dire circumstances. It arises when Capital needs to defend the existing order via brutal means, it dons a mask and pretends its something else, despite the underlying mechanisms being the same. Fascism is Capitalism in decay.

      Communism is entirely different from Capitalism, including fascism.

        Capitalism cannot exist in a fascist regime. And communism is fascism.

            Capitalism has never existed in fascist regimes.

              Capitalism has always existed in fascist regimes. Nazi Germany, Mussolini’s Italy, all places where the interests of Private Capital controlled the state and formed the basis of the economy. The purpose of fascism, after all, is to brutally protect Capitalism’s existing property relations from the decay Capitalism brings.

                  I’ve provided ample sources and rationale, and you’ve provided “nuh-uh.” I think we know who actually knows what they’re talking about between the two of us, indicated by not a single person agreeing with you.

          Communism is communism. Fascism is fascism. Fascism is right wing leaning just like capitalism. Fascism is extreme right wing where capitalism is more center right. Capitalism and fascism go hand in hand.

          Communism is on the complete other side of the spectrum.
