...we're now incorrectly describing fascism as "socialist" in nature?
This comment by Agna got me thinking.
Certainly I can see how fascism and socialism differ in theory. In fact theoretically, they differ quite significantly. However, in practice it seems they end up looking very much alike: All power (and control of resources and means of production) in the hands of a very few. Far fewer even than with capitalism.
Discuss.
Hitlerian Germany was a mixed economy at war. But it was still basically a capitalistic economic system
Exactly as ours was, once we went to war.
The Soviet Unions economy was socialist through and through before during and after the war.
