@imarandomperson761 "Imperialism is a feature of liberalism. " Wrong. Liberalism was specifically formulated against Monarchies and their imperialism.

@Kirbo-i " fascism's emergence is a consequence of liberalism" Wrong. The emergence of Fascism was consequence of failing Marxist-Leninism in Russia. Fascism specifically opposed Liberalism.

@Jefferu_Nintendomoto : I highly suggest "Two Treatises of Government" by John Locke, you know, the father of Liberalism.

Wrong. Liberalism and Fascism are two polar opposite of ideologies.

"He called it a system centered entirely around laissez-faire capitalism and private ownership of property. " Correct. It is also a system which advocates for a very limited government (Minarchism), where the sole purpose of it is to protect people's lives, liberty and property.

"Fascism is capitalism's true face," Wrong. Fascism had nothing to do with Capitalism whatsoever. On the contrary, not only was Fascism a socialist ideology but also strictly anti-capitalist.

"a dictatorship of the capitalist class" Doesn't exist nor is there such a "class" in the first place. Businesses have no power, unlike governments.

@Humanistic_ "There is universal agreement among credible historians that fascism is fundamentally a right wing ideology. " Wrong. There is not. For example some actual Italian historians such as Renzo De Felice and Emilio Gentile will gladly point out, that Fascism was a leftist ideology based on National Syndicalism.

@Humanistic_ "I'm sure a lot of you think what you do because of the "government doing stuff is socialism and the less stuff it does is capitalism" ludicrous argument. So I'll try to keep this simple for you. " Socialism is an economic system where the collective (such as workers, guilds, the government etc.) either directly own or control the buildings and tools that make goods and services like farms and factories. This can be achieved through decentralized and direct worker-ownership, or through centralized state-ownership or control of the means of production. Fascism had the latter.

@Humanistic_ "And their private ownership is enforced through state violence and is the primary function of the state." Rather convoluted sentence to just say that the state is there to protect people's property, from thieves.
1
@Humanistic_ " Without which there would be no capitalist class and no capitalism (all states throughout history exist to create and enforce class dictatorships). " Wrong. Capitalism is an economic system which exists independently from any kind of State apparatus. Nobody needs a State to protect their property nor rights (nor provide currency for that matter). Any security company being it private or something else, would do, or people could do it themselves even. Having a State is just more convenient way to do it.

@Humanistic_ "Hitler came to power from the support and funding of German capitalists who were scared of meeting the same fate as their Russian neighbors. " Reminder that Hitler was a National Socialist, not a Fascist. Regarding the support, the fact that some capitalists and entrepreneurs, faced with the alternative of Marxism or Nazism, chose the latter, does not require any further explanation. They preferred to live as shop managers under Hitler than to be "liquidated" as "bourgeois" by Marxists. Capitalists don't like to be killed any more than other people do.
1
@Humanistic_ "So one of the first things Hitler did was purge socialist and union leaders. " So did every socialist one-party dictatorship, including the Bolsheviks.

@Humanistic_ " Separate from personal property." There is no difference between "personal" and "private" property, as property is just property.

"Corporate Fascism " Doesn't exist.

@Gtrip420 Only Italy had Fascism. Rest have nothing to do with Fascism whatsoever.

@Gtrip420 "Mussolini coined the term fascism and define it as the merger of corporation and state and said a more accurate term would be corporatism." Actually Mussolini has never said such a thing. Common misquote. There was no such merger and Corporatism ("corporativismo" in Italian) was how they handled their socialist economy. It was one of the cornerstone principles in Mussolini's fascism, and had to do with the way society and the economy would be organized, with state power at the head of a system of nationalized syndicates ("corporazione") representing each major industry. Mussolini's corporatist view stressed total state power over businesses as much as over individuals, via these governing industry bodies controlled by the Fascist party, in which businesses retained the responsibilities of property, but few if any of the freedoms.

They are two different things. Liberalism is an ideology and philosophy. Capitalism is an economic system.

@MouldMadeMind : Countries that have nothing to do with Liberalism.

@imarandomperson761 : Regarding Capitalism, it is just the result of free humans making voluntary exchanges with one another in the absence of outside coercion.

@DeoMachina : Trading existed, yes.

@segasaturndude8945 "Fascism is simply capitalism in decay." Wrong. Fascism was Marxism in decay, and Fascism strictly opposed Capitalism.
1
"Liberalism, its historical ties to racism, capitalism and fascism " Wrong. Liberalism has nothing to do with racism nor fascism whatsoever.
1
@noone64 "that there is plenty of fascism and racism in today's liberal countries. " They aren't Liberal countries in the first place, and no modern day country has Fascism.
1
@noone64 : Maybe you should go and read what Liberalism was actually about before using the word. You should start from "Two Treatises of Government" by John Locke.
1
@noone64 : The video is wrong.
1
@noone64 : Go read books.

Wrong. Liberalism and Fascism are two polar opposite of ideologies.

Funnily enough, Liberalism and Fascism are two polar opposite of ideologies.
