          I define it as something not much different than fascism. For me the main differences between these are the nationalist and globalist difference, fascism being national socialism and communism being globalist socialism.

          I know the official definition of communism is just the owning of the means of production by the state which could be true but beside that there is always an elite of individuals which are in control and have a particular interest in controlling everyone else’s lives for the good of “the proletariat” but more for their own interests.

          So national socialism is a more localized doctrine and globalist socialism is a more global doctrine.

            Ask a lib to describe communism and they describe capitalism.

              Slightly more insidious than that is the attempt to conflate ‘socialism’ with ‘national socialism’, i.e. the Nazis. Seemingly every five minutes someone tries to conflate the two despite being on opposite sides of the political spectrum, hence the bullshit pseudoscience that is “horseshoe theory”.

                Libs: I just shit my pants. Both the communists and the nazis are trying to avoid me. That’s because they’re actually the same.
