The Difference Btw Facism and Communism

[dDuecy]

I have been wondering what the real difference between Facsim and Communism, They seem really similar except that Facism is anti-Communism. There really wasnt a real difference btw how Stalin and Hitler ruled, then again i dont know indepth what Facism is.

Communism is complete state ownership, while fascism is complete state control (there is private ownership depending on class). That is like the most basic I can put it, there are a lot of subtle differences but this is the big one.

Facism is on the far-right of the political spectrum and communism is on the far-left. They are pretty much opposite. Subroc pretty much summed it up.

Also you should also be aware of the differences between communism and marxism. It would all be too long to explain. I would suggest wikipedia and if you have any specific questions I am sure we would do our best to answer them.

I would recommend reading about them both on Wiki to get a pretty clear picture of where both those words came from. They are both really vague terms.

Fascist governments still allow free market capitalism,,, they just conspire withe the business community to keep the $ going to particular places. In communism, the state literally controls all the means of production and all aspects of the economy. BIG differences, dude.

Or just log onto Wikipedia.

You have to realize there was a shitload of patronage, etc. in so-called "communist party states," i.e. the USSR. They birthed the Russian Mafia that controls that country now. Instead of giving control of big industries to wealthy capitalists as they might in a fascist state, they give it to lackey politicians. No difference in application between the two, just in theory. Fascism had just as much state control under Hitler as it did in the USSR under Stalin.

The answer: not much.
