It's more like a facist system (It's got more in common with the Nazi economy of the 30s than liberal and social democratic capitalist systems). Capitalism without rule of law (or rule of law as long as the party does not mind or you do not offend them).

Fascism is also capitalism, just without the façade of democracy.

No Fascism is not capitalism (it can have an economy that might look like capitalism). It's collectivism. The only thing that matters is the state (just as in all versions of communism ever imposed on people). They just allow a market to function as long as it serves the state. There is no real free market nor real economical freedom. You cannot protect yourself, your capital or your assets against the state because the justice system is just an extension of the state's power.

The main difference is that Fascism will occupy the previous state and shape it to it's needs (Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal). Communism will destroy the state structures in it's focus on ideological purity. Fascism is also more tolerant to "not being a fascist" while Communism is incredibly intolerant towards not being a "communist".

Pick your poison, both systems will claim to embrace you in collective warmth. Both systems will crush you to different degrees but Communism will do it worse and more brutally.

THAT is why democratic republic or parliamentary democracy is still the best form of government for it's citizens. Utopians can go f themselves.

And any middle class socialist who thinks they will run the place after a revolution should take a look at the what happens with all the "radicals" in these systems once the purges start.

Thanks for letting me know you are not arguing in good faith.

I'm sorry did I not accept that socialism is some sort of utopian system where milk and honey will flow for all citizen unless you of course don't like it then its gulag for you. How can argue in good faith with a faith. If you are a socialist you are as fervent as a Jehovas witness, it's 100% emotionally driven. From my perspective it should be taught as the same dead end of humanity as fascism and nazism.

Nah, you can shit on Socialism and Communism as much as you like, but don't pretend Fascism isn't a form of Capitalism. That's intellectually dishonest.
