@RemsHusband "Fascism is the polar opposite. Facism is a political and economic system rooted in ultra-nationalism and strong belief in a social hierarchy. It is, by its very nature, incompatible at every level with communism." While this is true, you forget that Fascism was only the polar opposite when it came to how socialism should be implemented. It was a rival socialist ideology, which was meant to supersede Marxism. As created by Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile, Fascism came from the belief that the "Stateless and Classless society" Communism calls for after its dictatorship cannot achieve Socialism, and that only the State can properly organize a Socialist Society.

@RemsHusband "If you take a look at the wikipedia page for fascism, they are opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, liberalism, socialism, and Marxism." Fascism was never opposed to socialism though. Not the only thing Wiki gets wrong.

@RemsHusband "I think the planned economy part of fascism is what is tripping you up. Planned economies are not unique to socialism." Yes, they are. 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. This includes planned economic models, centralized economic models and command economy models. They all are part of the socialist economic system.

@RemsHusband "Just because a state implements a planned economy does not mean it is socialist." Yes, it does.

Falling for Communism? No. Falling for Socialism? Maybe.

@davidknierim8354 : So he isn't a Liberal in the slightest. Contrary to popular belief, actual Liberalism refers to the ideology and philosophy put forth by John Locke which advocates for a limited government.
