Fascism
Fascism is a form of socialism.
The best example of Fascism was Nazi Germany.
Fascism is the public ownership of all property except in name.
It allows citizens to pretend that they own property, but they must use it in accordance
with the wishes of the state.
Since ownership means the ability to control a piece of property, the ownership is actually in the hands
of the government.
Fascism is often confused with other aspects of the Nazi regime.
The Nazis were racists and nationalists.
These are not necessary components of Fascism, though.
Fascism is simply government ownership of all property in fact, with private ownership of property in name.
In every significant way, Fascism resembles Communism.
It also has a record of massive slaughter, scapegoats, starvation, and destruction of wealth.
It has the same moral base as Communism.
It is founded on Collectivism.
They are different faces of the same evil system.
