It depends on the fascism though. If you’ve got Stalin type fascism, you’ve got (((state controlled communism))) with forced (((egalitarianism))) with a Jewish elite.
Hey Stalin wasn't a fascist
Fascism is a European manifestation of a Third Positionist worldview that uses trade-union centered economic systems such as Corporatism or National Syndicalism with a Totalitarian, ultranationalist state
It is not state-controlled capitalism, it is not forced societal darwinism, it is a very specific concept that has only *really* occurred twice (Italy and pre-Anschluss Austria)
Also if you're talking about alternatives to capitalism, there is like an infinite amount
Stop thinking so rigidly
Name 10
There is a large amount of alternatives, but a little amount of workable or sustainable ones.
Not to mention that change is highly improbable under the yoke of the current system.
I mean that people are creative, and could come up with *literally an infinite amount of economic systems*
Most alternatives to capitalism still incorporate elements of it, would you agree? @Josh42A
Like wage labor and/or private property
any system with a monetary unit is capitalism
I would disagree
communism is the one alternitive because they replace money
@The Big Oof do you understand from a financial perspective what capital is?
Explain your position on this.
You may have a better understanding than I do, we'll see
Yep
any society with capital is capitalist in my opinion
true marxist communism would be the only outlier
Alright, I see your position now. It's more of a strict one, but still correct depending on how one looks at it
spain republic had no capital but they soon introduced coupons
What most people call capitalism could be called labeled "liberalism" if this definition is to be followed
*any system with a monetary unit is capitalism*
By that logic Feudalism and Fascism are capitalist.
Idk how many commies would agree with you calling Feudalism capitalist
I agree that Feudalism and Fascism are economically capitalist
@ImATomato I'm not a commie though just a humble CS major that had to take 4 semesters of accounting.
CompSci?
yes
Fair enough
Taking a degree in CS myslef
most people look at capitalism as a political system I look at it as strictly economic
Honestly idk if capitalism really exists because nobody seems to have a consistent definition of it and it doesn't seem to be a singular thing
an unrelated example of how I view things I pissed a nat soc off because he asked for a nat soc role in one server I co-own I gave him "Marxist"
and Nationalist
but still he freaked
In a sense monkeys can become capitalist the moment you give them tokens and they use it to exchange for food or groomings
