Uh, fascists/communists?

[Talentless]

You do realize that fascism and communism aren't the same thing, right?

 

[1X83Z]

Yes...I believe any educated person knows that.

 

[TAFJonathan]

Of course.

 

[Talentless]

Then why is communism being discussed in the fascist club? Heck, why are what appear to be Russian posters there? Well, ok, then.

 

[Puffy]

well what is the diff between them?

 

[Talentless]

Simply.

Communism is about social economic equality via the state for the people. Fascism is pretty much a harsh dictatorship.

However, more often than not, Communist governments behave fascistically as well.

In fact, from my political point of view, I'd go so far as to say ALL communist governments are fascist, though not all fascist governments are communist.

A "dictatorship of the proletariat" is still a dictatorship. Anywhere that the State has priority over the Individual is fascist.

Notice I said "Simply."

it's a big joke as far as i'm concerned.

 

[Talentless]

I figure it may be. I just wonder whether members know it.

If he did so, he'd be exercising excessive censorship by not allowing those who support fascism to say so. Excessive censorship is common in fascist states. In saying you want to get rid of these threads you are, in essence, expressing a fascist view.

Although fascism is actually just harsh unilateral despotism/nationalism with a new name...

i love the irony in closing a thread about fascism.

 

[TAFJonathan]

Indeed.
