Social ism and communisum are different forms of government or economy. Just like democracy it boils down to who is in power . In the usa they tell you that other forms of government are bad. In old russia they tell you capitalism is bad and some where else they tell you democracy is the devil. Don't buy in.~facts
Not really. You are buying into the distractions and the shiny "options" one brand claims over another, how they'll steal better for you than the other guys.
All of the various major forms of government around today and in the past were based in the same thing. Your individual consent is assumed. In other words they all think they own you as a default assumption.
The dividing line isn't how one form of tyrannical government treats you or not, the dividing line is; are the subjects of a given government free to decline membership or not ? Voluntary or involuntary ? Don't buy in. ~ facts.
"The difference between [socialism and fascism] is superficial and purely formal, but it is significant psychologically: it brings the authoritarian nature of a planned economy crudely into the open.
The main characteristic of socialism (and of communism) is public ownership of the means of production, and, therefore, the abolition of private property. The right to property is the right of use and disposal. Under fascism, men retain the semblance or pretense of private property, but the government holds total power over its use and disposal." ~ Ayn Rand
