I hope you're all deliberately misspelling the word 'fascist' or I am going to get fascist on your behinds.

By the way, American conservatives are quite philosophically opposed to fascism. You're more likely to find quasi-fascists in mainstream Euro politics (see: National Front in France) than you are in American politics. American conservatives are just classical liberals, as are American Democrats.

Facism has NOTHING to do with Nazism. They may have had a similiar structure, but are far different in nature, and in practice. The Facists did not kill millions of Jews, Communist, Poles, Russians, Gypsies, Homosexuals, and Germans. However, the Russians did massacre Germans, Poles, and etc.

Stalinist Communism is just as bad as Nazism, and are not the same as Facism.

National socialism was a form of fascism. Click here ( fascism ) or here (http://www.remember.org/hist.root.what.html) or at several different sources. Can't think they all confuse something.

The second part of Hitler's Mein Kampf, "The National Socialistic Movement", first published in 1926, contains this passage:
I conceived the profoundest admiration for the great man south of the Alps, who, full of ardent love for his people, made no pacts with the enemies of Italy, but strove for their annihilation by all ways and means. What will rank Mussolini among the great men of this earth is his determination not to share Italy with the Marxists, but to destroy internationalism and save the fatherland from it. (p. 622)

Even if Mussolini only participated in the holocaust on the command of Hitler (so much for maximo lider), the bullying and extermination of political opponents which was employed by Mussolin, Hitleri and Franco alone cast a bad light onto fascism.

Eh, Soviet Communism could well be considered Communism in name only, seeing as how it was ruled by a dictator, and there were still people who were better off than others. I'd say that failed attempts at communism are dangerous, not communism itself.

Edit: Given how Hitler started WWII, I'd say that Nazism beats Stalinism.

That was Stalinism which has nothing in common with and is in fact completely incompatible with true Communism or Marxism. Not only is it also incorrect by any historical evidence but it is very dangerous to try to devalue the despicable crimes of fascism by saying that some other ideology killed more people.

I despise both. They are both political manifestations of the worst things human beings can conjure up.
I don't understand how anyone could "despise" Communism as it the only ideology that attempts to free humanity from all forms of oppression and exploitation and to empower every member of society within a genuinely democratic political process and form of economic management.

Actually, Communism states that [there must be a transition period between capitalist and communist society "in which the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat."]
That is quite correct but the "dictatorship of the proletariat" is not the dictatorship of a particlar individual or political but is instead the democratic management of the state (before it eventually withers away) by the entire working class. The true meaning of the term is expressed by Rosa Luxemburg:

"This dictatorship consists in the manner of applying democracy, not in its elimination, but in energetic, resolute attacks upon the well-entrenched rights and economic relationships of bourgeois society, without which a socialist transformation cannot be accomplished. This dictatorship must be the work of the class and not of a little leading minority in the name of the class — that is, it must proceed step by step out of the active participation of the masses; it must be under their direct influence, subjected to the control of complete public activity; it must arise out of the growing political training of the mass of the people."

Stalinism Shmalinism. He was able to implement his powers because of the void that the communist system creates.

I don't understand how anyone could "despise" Communism as it the only ideology that attempts to free humanity from all forms of oppression and exploitation and to empower every member of society within a genuinely democratic political process and form of economic management.While attampting to achieve all those freedoms it fails miserably. On the other hand it takes away an individual's right to private property. And I suppose political oppression and the right to free press and freedom of speech mean nothing to you? They have always been taken away from the people whenever Communism or any extreme right wing ideology has run amock with power.

Any moderate more centrist ideology will achieve politcal and democratic freedom much better than any extremist one-party ideology.

Agreed, Taking power in the Soviet Union was mostly jockeying for position until the Leader Dies and having allies in offices that can make you leader. So, his abilities that got him into power was political manouvering and just being better at it than the other guy. Politics in any Totalitarian state is the same way. Just try to be the Top Dog when the leader dies.

My point is that Communism is just as bad as fascism or Nazism. And I say this without devalueing anything.

Perhaps fascism/nazism (whatever you'd call it) is quicker and deadlier and makes itself more perfectly clear in it's evil tryanical nightmarish eugenistic ideology, but communism works the same way on an ideological level.

And I have done no such thing. Stalinism Shmalinism. He was able to implement his powers because of the void that the communist system creates.
Stalin was able to rise to power because the early USSR, even under Lenin, had never genuinely followed Marxist theory or implemented the true meaning of the "dictatorship of the proletariat" which instead became the dictatorship of the Communist Party. Marx however in the Communist Manifesto said that:

"The Communists do not form a separate party opposed to the other working-class parties. They have no interests separate and apart from those of the proletariat as a whole. They do not set up any sectarian principles of their own, by which to shape and mould the proletarian movement."

While attampting to achieve all those freedoms it fails miserably. On the other hand it takes away an individual's right to private property.
As I have said before genuine Communism has never been or even attempted to be implemented so it is impossible to tell whether it would fail or not. In regards to private property, Communism wouldn't deprive anyone of small personal possesions but it would bring about the democratic worker's management of the means of production, distribution and exchange.

And I suppose political oppression and the right to free press and freedom of speech mean nothing to you?
Political democracy and freedom of speech are extremely important and Communism is impossible without them as Rosa Luxemburg, one of history's greatest Communists, made clear when she said in 1919 that:

"Without general elections, without unrestricted freedom of press and assembly, without a free struggle of opinion, life dies out in every public institution, becomes a mere semblance of life, in which only the bureaucracy remains as the active element."

Her prediction turned out to be correct as we can see from what happened in Stalinist Russia.

Because, actual Fascism didn't kill Jews.

For those who thing Fascism supports anti-Jewish ideals need to learn the difference between it and National Socialism. In history, Mussolini was actually pro-Jew. Many of his Fascist Blackshirts were Jewish and he made Italy a fairly safe place for Jews for a long time...though eventualy there were anti- Jewish laws, most of these were ignored until Hitler took over Northern Italy.
Or we could look to Franco in Spain...he was a Fascist [Though by a different name] and he didn't kill the Jews...wouldn't even help Hitler in the war...and the Axis could easily have won had Franco joined in.
Or maybe you'd like to look at Engelbert Dollfuss, who along with Mussolini was very much anti-Nazi...though Dollfuss didn't consider him a Fascist, his government was very similar.
Antonio Salazar of Portugal was another very Fascist leader who wasn't all that bad.
~~~

I am a Proud Fascist, but very much anti-Nazi.

Their miniscule penises.
No, my penis is quite worth being proud of...though by your logic you're a Fascist.

I don't know any. Stalin converted it into a fascism. At least, under communism the equality of oportunities was granted. Look, a president of the USSR was farmer in his youth. And his father, carpenter.
The U.S.S.R. was never Fascist…the only thing they had in common was that they had a Dictator for a leader.

A few posters on this thread illustrate a point that needs to be emphasised: fascism did not die with Hitler or that loser Mussolini, or Franco. It may not be as organised, but it sure as hell is still alive. It's more visible in Europe--such as the British National Front/Party--but here in America, they are called 'neo-nazis' for a reason.

Reading posts like Voxio, I can't figure out whether to laugh or to vomit. It is sad when the only defense of one's chosen ideology is 'it's not as bad as this other one.' Yeah, Franco didn't kill Jews--just thousands of his political opponents: 'Our regime is based on bayonets and blood, not on hypocritical elections.'

Fascism needs to be fought wherever it rears its hateful, ugly head. Unlike communism, it didn't start out as a model for an ideal society--it was oppression and hate from the very start, and made no qualms about it. Support for fascism in any of its forms is support for the worst depravities of humanity.

Actually, because it was largely based on anti-communism for the reason that Communsism wouldn't really work one could say that it was for the benifit of humanity. Not to mention that the idea of National Syndicalism was put forward as a means of preventing businesses from corrupting government officials.

Yeah, Franco didn't kill Jews--just thousands of his political opponents: 'Our regime is based on bayonets and blood, not on hypocritical elections.'
That staement was largely based upon the fact that he fought for his power.

Which goals would those be? Blind devotion to the state or leader at the expense of individual rights? Submission of all cultures to the approved dominant one? Economic totalitarianism? Or just the spiffy uniforms?

And as for the weak attempts by others to seperate Nazism from fascism, the differences are minor. The only major one is that Hitler added 'racial loyalty' to the concept of being slavishly devoted the a national ideal. One could argue that class views also differed, but not so much; true, Nazism wanted classlessness, but they only considered a very specific set of people to be a legitamate class.

At most, one can say Nazism is a unique strand of fascism, but in no way seperate enough to not call it fascism.
Hitler and Mussolini themselves recognised their political similarities.

The fuck? Have you never heard of Libya? According to Denis Mack Smith in Mussolini's Roman Empire (1976): 20,000 died in concentration camps, with perhaps 100,000 Bedouins (or half the Bedouin population) dying overall.

It has been suggested that it is possible to predict who will lose a war by identifying which side has the more elaborate uniforms. Such a notion has been called the "Sukhomlinov Effect," after General V.A. Sukhomlinov, the Minister of War of Russia in 1914. In an era of elaborate uniforms, Sukhomlinov seems to have gone one better. The Russians, of course, did poorly against the Germans on the Eastern Front in World War I, although the Germans (with more elaborate uniforms) then lost on the Western Front. This rule only really fails with the Japanese (and the Boers).Source (http://www.friesian.com/rank.htm)
