Fascism can own the means of production of a country by replacing elected government leaders with leaders appointed by the regime.
Are you aware of any elected gov't leader in the USA that has been replaced by someone else appointed by the current regime (administration) by either party?
WW2's Germany was the furthest thing from socialism or communism in that it stripped away the people's ability to choose their own wellbeing.
Stripping away anyone's ability to choose their own well-being is the exact definition of what socialism/communism does. The state decides, not you and that is the precise opposite of capitalism.
Do you even understand the meaning of 'socialism' or 'communism'?
Do you understand that socialism is a necessary and attractive factor of capitalism?
I do not understand how anybody can say this with a straight face. To say that socialism is a necessary and attractive factor of capitalism is total nonsense. Those two ideologies are the exact opposite of each other, socialism exalts the state over the individual while capitalism does the exact opposite. Are you aware of the definition of any of these systems? Do you realize that in reality there are no exact models of either concept in reality?
How do you rationalize that fascism is a 'stage' to achieving communism?
Popular wisdom holds that Fascism and Communism were diametrical opposites. Actually, the two ideologies were (and are) so similar that they had to define themselves in opposition to each other in order to survive. At the very least, both were socialistic in origin: Mussolini was immersed in socialism by his father, and the name of Hitler's party – National Socialist German Workers' Party – speaks for itself. Both are in fact versions of socialism, fascism is itself socialism under a nationalistic identity. It is not a stage to communism, the two ideologies are basically the same thing under a different name. The old USSR was in fact a fascist regime that called itself communism.
