"Though fascism and communism are similar in some ways they are not the same."

Who's been feeding you that fallacy? Sorry to inform you but they are both totalitarian political systems. Although executed in different "ways", they ARE the same in outcome.

I spent too many years dodging commie totalitarian USSR on the seas, and my father spilt his blood fighting the Nazis totalitarian domination. They both have the same goal - control of a populace.

One tried with Kumbaya love for the populace, the other for national pride. The outcome has always been the same. Just a matter of application, but they ARE the same. Socialists are not far removed from the above. Again, control for whatever reason.

There is an uptick in Socialist activism in the US. Wonder if it has been influenced by Putin in time for his Ukraine initiative.

Both are totalitarian, but the ideology is different. Fascism is nationalist, often racist, and allows for private property, at least for those in favor with the government. Communist ideology is internationalist and class based, and against the idea of private property.

I don’t disagree....They are both dictatorships...thug driven by a personality worshipping populace. Both forms are dangerous to freedom,liberty, and the well being of any one living there.

Both forms use the same techniques to get total control and when you don’t agree they will kill you
