It's not all that nebulous if you use implementation and not broad, nebulous concepts designed to arbitrarily separate fascism from communism

Like the whole point of keeping fascism vague is so that it can be used wherever, lazily

But as far as I can tell, what it really boiled down to was a focus on the nation as a state, a focus on the military, and what can best be described as a command economy of economic opportunism, if we want the essence of Fascist Italy

Everything is focused around the good of the state, the economy's purpose is to benefit "the nation", rather than individuals, and this can happen within a controlled market (implicitly or explicitly) or via socialized programs.

Whereas the *intent* in a socialist state is to do things for the benefit of the workers, economic change is in the direction of nationalization (so that it may be owned by the proles when the state is dissolved), and the goal (as mentioned prior) is to eventually get rid of the state

However in terms of raw economic policy, both fascism and socialism could be considered viable (insofar as we ignore the non viability of all of this) for producing the communist end state. Marx himself spoke highly of both the gains of capitalism and its liberalising factors. The issue, he argued, was that it was an incomplete revolution, and that there was a further stage *beyond* capitalism

@Khanclansith thing isn't about us getting oil. Thing is opec trades oil only in usa, as such all countries need oil and have usd reserves.. now imagine all those countries no longer need usd... they sell it... that's likely to cause one hell of an inflation and loss of value.. like it happened when usa dropped gold.

Plenty of anti-communist Venezuelans have been begging for America to invade for years.

The political is personal and the personal is political. Slavery is freedom.

@DrWittMDPhD It's very 1984 and controlling people.

Okay I finally saw the clip. This seems like AOC derangement syndrome. She never advocated for legislation. It sounds like she's describing something she likes to do and how that benefits her.
