no, but I remember when communists successfully convinced ninety percent of the world that fascism was right-wing, and not just a more realistic formulation of communism...
Edit: to preemptively clarify: both are terribly unrealistic, one is just slightly less awful.
Yup, I've always said fascism is just more honest communism.
Communism promises 'power to the people' via the State. A ridiculous idea that will never work, due to the nature of man.
Fascism promises power to the State, for the good of the people. Also a fairly ridiculous concept, but much less so and, like I said, is at least more honest about who will wield the power. Fascism just cuts out the middleman.
"Power to the people, via government" is one of the stupidest concepts ever. It's also uncomfortably close to our current alleged system...well, so is fascism.
Point is, government will accumulate and abuse power. Communism lies and acts like that won't happen, and it's actually the people in charge.
Yeah, but communists are retards, so I don't really care about the theory, I care about, to use one of their favorite words...praxis.
It doesn't matter what they say, what matters is what Not Real Communism™ does every...single...time...it's implemented.
"True communism" wouldn't even have a state, sure, but that's never what they try to do, and real world communism has an incredibly strong state, so that's what I'll pay attention to and cite.
I'll stop calling communists statists as soon as communists stop advocating for top down nonsense at gunpoint, and join me in calling for government to get out of our lives, which makes it easier for them to fuck right off and go live on communes, or whatever. They just don't get to force me into their schemes.
I think this is one of the most honest descriptions of communism and fascism i have ever seen.
Fascism is essentially nationalist Marxism whereas communism is globalist
