Communism and fascism is basically the same thing.

In my view communism is a schism of fascism. The fascists use this imaginary utopia to further their (long range) plans.

The founder of Fascism, Mussolini was literally a Socialist. Same goes for the Germans, they were Socialists as well just like the Soviets and Communists...

Focus on the flow of money. When the flow stops you found a fascist.

They are both centralized. Centralized power is always dangerous. Decentralized is the only way to protect against corruption. That is the problem. Our systems have been corrupted. We have solutions. Klaus Schwab is winning because he is defining the world he wants to see. We need to decentralize and do the same: https://joshketry.substack.com/p/klaus-schwab-is-right-we-need-to

There are no solutions to centralized systems, even those who know this work to keep the centralized system intact. Hierarchy always collapses from overuse of resources.

Schwab is a magician not a dictator. I think he only seeks to move the pile (a fascist collaborator).

Perhaps they're basically the same thing in your mind, but in reality they are politically polar opposites. Speech that reveals ignorance adds nothing substantive to the conversation.

Both are tyrannical and authoritarian and Socialists. That's enough for me to conclude they are similar enough.

Yeah yeah, the use of a word like ignorance to describe the character of someone with whom the user disagrees proves they have nothing substantive to offer. Which you did. not.

I stand by my idea. The surpluses generated by any economic system, any of the many isms, flow to the top regardless of the terminology. All you people are fighting over is control of the surpluses, and the 'little people' always and forever lose. At least until there are no surpluses left to fight over, which will be soon enough, as it always has in the past, this time its a global phenomenon.
