I wish I wasn't born in this era

But in like 2040

The actual ideologies behind communism do not pose the hideous moral shortcomings that go along with fascism.

Just to see how it'd be

Comparing the two is daft.

Fascism also had an actual ideology

Giovanni Gentile

2040 will be weird. Large swathes of people won't have a job

There's nothing they will be able to do

The philosphical sense of it was much different from how it was practiced

@Dr.Cosby Yeah okay, I don't agree, because both facism and communism have roots in socialism & both are inspired by Marx's works

plus communism came first so there's that

Im sire all sorts of nice things were inspired or influenced by not so nice things though

The real question is, how much did they retain

@GoldenGail3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism You're incorrect

Mussolini was a socialist

Stop going off wikipedia it was Giovanni Gentile who originated it.

@Tool He was a socialist in his early life.

"Opposed to liberalism, Marxism, and anarchism, fascism is placed on the far-right within the traditional left–right spectrum."

Political fascism is

I know that's what i meant throttles

Opposed to "Marxism", not "inspired" by it

Yeah Dr.Cosby wants to make excuses for communism lol

like all the other commies do

Lol do you have arguments against communism besides pointing at authoritarian dictatorships that implemented a loose version that failed?

Interesting

Tell us more

they think it's a successful ideology, but it doesn't wash away all the blood around it.

Can you even make the point that these comminist nations improved?

Sort of

Russia became a superpower

**AT GREAT COST**

What's considered an improvement depends on your criteria

If it's quality of life not really

If it's murder rate fuck no

If it's global power yes

@GoldenGail3 You're very anti-communist, I have seen this. You may note that I don't have the communist tag for a reason - I think democratic socialism is a better system overall. Most people who consider themselves communists are braindead (especially on this server) - I understand your kneejerk reaction due to that as well.

@Dr.Cosby Why do you even defend communism whilst arguing against facism? Do you not understand how fucking insane that is?

Okay, so, another reminder that communism =/= fascism

We were discussing fascism and you came to shit on me and try to equate the two

@Dr.Cosby Okay I understand your point and it's reasonable enough
