Mostly true hon. My attraction to communism is in it's ability to counter and fight against fascism. In times of war, democracy can't do the job. Democracy's hands are tied by the need of wasting time on making quick decisions by the people. And not only that but revealing tactical moves, days ahead of the intended actions. Example: Roosevelt who is criticized by the fascist right and their reluctance to fight the Nazis.AI Overview
While theoretically opposed, fascism and communism demonstrate some striking similarities in their aims and methods, particularly in their historical manifestations.
Similarities
- Totalitarianism and Authoritarianism: Both ideologies, in practice, led to the establishment of totalitarian regimes with a single, dominant political party and leader, suppressing opposition and individual freedoms.
- State Control: Both fascism and communism advocated for significant state control over the economy and society. In communist states, the state owned and controlled the means of production, distributing wealth based on need or contribution. Fascism also prioritized state interests, albeit often retaining private ownership while subjecting industries to state direction and control through structures resembling syndicates.
- Rejection of Liberal Democracy and Capitalism: Both ideologies explicitly rejected liberal democracy and capitalism, seeing them as flawed systems that needed to be replaced.
- Suppression of Dissent: Both systems employed violent means and secret police to eliminate or silence political opponents and enforce ideological conformity, according to the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.
- Propaganda and Cult of Personality: Both utilized propaganda and the cultivation of a cult of personality around their leaders to maintain control and rally support for the state or party, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.
Canada can't possibly becme free and democratic again until the US's fascism regime either collapses or is taken down by force of arms or communism's proven methods. (scuse me, cut their fascist fkn heads off)
You'll no doubt be well aware of China's proactive moves by government to be prepared for Fascism's challenge to their peace and prosperity..
There was a bonus factor in that move by China, in that the system being adopted as a precaution against aggression, turned out to be such an extremely financially sound move, as well as a demonstration of communist/capitalist success that has never been seen in our world's history!
Was China's genius government aware of what they were accomplishing along with the nation's security?
They care enough to go to school,
