The end product of communism and fascism is identical. Big government calling all the shots and sending any dissenters to the gulags/camps. Lots of executions too.

Socialism is merely a pathway to eventual communism. It's more milquetoast and seen as acceptable by the far left so that's what they peddle. Make no mistake though, they are full blown communists. They've let the facade slip a few times now like with the BLM founders.

You are technically correct when you say "big government calling all the shots", but in the end what really happens is that the big government is nothing more than a handful of very wealthy and powerful people, effectively creating a fiefdom where they are the Lords of the land and the populace are the serfs. This happens no matter which -ism you start with.

Capitalism is the only -ism I can see where this can be checked, but only through the vigorous use of strong anti trust laws and some form of tort regulation.

For fuck’s sake, would you rather live in Fascist Italy or the Soviet Union?

That's like asking if I'd rather be gang raped by Italians or Russians. Still a "totally fucking different experience", right?
