How about u...I've got a minor in poly sci so I'm pretty sure I knoiw what the hell I'm talking about. Busted I've never seen u articulate any arguemnet on here about anything...u drop failed one liners and name calling like thats some kind of score for ur belief system. U bring nothing to the board but bullshit. Atleast Decker uses analysis along with articles to make his points. Fascism and Conservative have very few things in common....lets start there

Here's a good short explanation.

In very broad strokes, socialism is an economic system in which "the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy." In modern societies, socialism often attempts to eradicate class divisions. While the word "socialism" is sometimes used interchangeably with "communism," the two aren't the same -- communism is a more extreme form of socialism.

Communism advocates the "collective ownership of property and the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members." While communism is first and foremost an economic system, it's also a political ideology that rejects religion. And just as communism is a form of socialism, Marxism, Maoism, and Leninism are branches of communism.

Like socialism and communism, fascism uses a central authority to maintain control, but "terror and censorship" are common. It results from economic failure in democratic political systems. Interestingly, while socialism and communism are both on the left end of the political spectrum, fascism contains elements of both "left and right ideology" and rises from economic collapse. The most famous fascist was Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. That ought to tell you it's not a good way to run a country.

Ohhhh nooooo a MINOR in POLY SCI!!!!!!!!!! Maybe thats because you don't like what I have to say.  I am yet to see one thing you post that isn't a direct talking point from the GOP pushed through Fox Noise. Not once. Zero, Zilch, Nada

If you have a minor in Political Science, you must have went to class with Bush and got pushed through with out going to class.

I bet you had enough time to go look up what they mean now on "The google" so you can sound educated.

Good explanation? Where do you pick up all your nonsense ?

If you're going to explain communism, at least give the basic principles of the dialectics.
That is what the whole ideology is based on.
And what's up with this pseudo nonsense connecting it with Fascism?
Mussolini's biggest resistance in Italy were the Commies.

Further - any political scholar will tell you that communisms goal is DE-centralisation, that the states will cease to exist, be replaced by smaller communities.
And socialism isn't some kind of 'gentler' form of Communism. It's just a version. Just like Anarchism is too.

Do it over - do it right.
