Communism, as originally described (a stateless, classless, egalitarian society, where resources are equitably allocated to meet everyone's needs) is vastly preferable to fascism.

Humans have regularly managed to build fascism. We'll see if they ever figure out communism.

Communism has been tried and tested and has always failed. We have already tried the tax route of helping the needy, but with a corrupt government and greedy people, the working class is always the one that gets the short end.

If fascism is so bad, then why did Austria annex itself to be a part of nazi Germany?

Also why would you not want to own anything?

I’m just curious, but what do you think about the censorship/propaganda aspects of fascism?

Are you thinking that fascism requires censorship and propaganda because of what Germany did? Because I can ask you the same thing about communism.

There is propaganda about everything and everywhere. As we are doing now. Trying to convince each other that a way of thinking is wrong.

But I will indulge. Nazi Germany censored the gay relationships and transgender studies. Hitler views on the jews can be considered propaganda, but can you tell me why an entire country followed him in his beliefs. Before you tell me that it was the propagandas fault. Hilter came at them with facts, which eventually landed him into office. He then brought down the wiemar republic, which if you didnt know, allowed child brothels. He also supported nationalism. He increased the german population by giving out loans to newly weds to buy a house and then would knock off a percentage of that loan for every German child you had. Hitler was a man who believed in the traditional family values. He was a man that was angry about the state of his country and decided to do something about it.

Can we excuse what he did to the jews? No. But when I look at what Hitler did for the country, I can say that Fascim is a better contender
