People on both sides throw around Fascism without knowing what it means. By definition, Fascism is the merger of corporations and government, with single party control. Nazism is a variation on Fascism that judges everyone based on race.

People throw around "Commie" around here, but the Communists are just foot soldier idiots to the real power. These people are LITERALLY Fascists. The CCP are NOT Communists -- they are FASCISTS.

I've said this before on this site, but people are too obsessed by Communism and constantly downvoted me, so I kind of gave up.

We should be (and should've been) calling these people Fascists. They don't mind being called Communists, because they're proud of that.

Our stand should be anti-Authoritarianism. "Both Fascism and Communism are evil. Freedom and Liberty are the way."

Original 1921 definition of the word Fascist:

One of a body of Italian nationalists organized in 1919 under Benito Mussolini to oppose Bolshevism.

That was why it was formed, not what they believed in. Fascism philosophically goes back to the 19th century. Obviously my definition is an oversimplification, but that's one of the big tenets of Fascism.

I like to say:

Fascism: Take over all the companies and merge the leadership with the state.

Communism: Take over all the companies, kill the leadership, and replace them with Communist friends to merge with the state.

The Nazis nationalized hundreds of German companies.

America also nationalized companies in WW2. Are we Nazis now?
