for example, Pol Pot's regime came after the Facsist Dictatorship of Prince Sianouk

I never said that Communism can't follow fascism.

I said that Fascism comes after communism.

You're putting words in my mouth.

you said "Fascism is the result of failed communism"

So I said that isn't the only way

Neither did I. I said that it inevitably follows communism.

Not that it cannot arise in other circumstances.

Do you understand?

right but that's how I read it

Oh I understand, I was simply making sure you understood.

Huh

Communism sets up an unworkable economic structure and a very clear political structure. And because people need some sort of economic structure to fulfill their material needs, Communism will fail. But the Authoritarian political structure will still exist even if the country opens itself to markets. Therefor, it will become Fascist.

Which is then followed by capitalism

Then by monarchy

And the cycle repeats back to capitalism again

History repeats

Are Fascism and Monarchy all that different, if the Monarchy is not heriditary, though?

They are

that's what monarchism is

A monarchy does not control the means of production but they do control the currency

Because all that Fascism really means (according to its creator, Mussolini) is that there is nothing beyond the purview of the state.

Facism owns the means of production but does not cintrol tjem

Mussolini wasn't the inventor of facism

that seems bit hamfisted

Modern Fascism.

It was a spanish fellow

no, but he was the first to control a nation with it

Right before him

fascism is a way of state>individual

and yes communism is as well

And this is why definitions are important. Because if we're using the same word but with different definitions, then that's where most of the misunderstanding comes from.

what different definitions of fascism are there?

There are 72 variations

There are twenty definitions on Wikipedia, I believe.

72 definitions total

oh no it's like gender studies...

Mhm

Right. That's why I use the definition Mussolini came up with, and make sure to clarify that that is my definition.

I use the inventors definition

So ya know
