If you turn the V upside down....
Pretty much sums it up. The differences are superficial.
If you turn the V upside down....
The Right-Left is just a way of attempting to simplify politics, it's good for a basic understanding of politics but falls apart if you dig deeper. Most things resist simplicity, like history, science and arguments about whether or not Italy should be in Civilization V or not
Italy is in civ V, they are just represented by their greatest empire and leader (who happens to be generally regarded as one of the greatest leaders of all time). I guess they could change the italian's representation, maybe they could use burlesque-oni as the leader instead of augustus? His UI could be bunga bunga parties...
Not really, no. The understanding I've been given is that the right wants less government involvement and the left wants more. Therefore, the extreme right would be anarchy.
States with social programs are not socialist states. Socialism and communism are based in a production system, not in a social program.
China has a capitalist production mode, so, china is capitalist. It cant exist a state with political communism and economical capitalism, it's a great error. China has a authoritary capitalist system, it's not communist.
The Fascism is based on a idea of unity, of nation, it's the opposite thinking of the communism (a global state, where there are not borders).
They are VERY different in their objectives and their conception of society.
I realize this is a bit off topic, but since several people have been discussing the positioning of various types of governments and authority, I would suggest taking a look at a website called "Political Compass" where left and right economic policies are on a right-left axis and separated from authoritarianism vs anarchy on an up down axis.
So it is possible to have left wing governments that are authoritarian or have little or no control and the same would apply to right wing governments.
It's also quite telling how Obama and Romney were almost in exactly the same position on the political compass. We are "free" because we have 2 "choices". But the power structure gives us the 2 choices, and they don't really care which one we choose because they are both basically the same.
Don't know if that is as much because of some secret cabal of supervillains dictating who runs for office, and more due to the information age allowing the politicians to find out exactly how people feel about a topic and simply go with the majority. Moving closer to direct democracy in that sense, for better or for worse.
I suspect that you are reading far too much into that.

Fascism allows for private enterprise but in return the state expects you to be a model citizen (military service, agree with state ideologies, not be any race or ethnicity the state doesn't like etc.). Communism (ideally) does not allow ANY private ownership but is all inclusive. The workers of one nation are the same as the workers of another.
Anyone else notice the statue in the Order section looks a lot like the statue of Comstock in Bioshock Infinite, another 2k game?
Maybe will get Mechanized Patriots as a unit in the game as well
No, they're not. First of all, the public enterprises are from socialism, not communism. In communism you dont have a state.
In socialism, work is a right. If you need, you have. Cuz the economy is planned by the state and they create conditions to put everybody working. Planned economy dont have the problem to control the unemployment. But, if you have a capitalistic economy, you must have unemployment (inflation control). The better (for who?) it's about 5-7%.
And who used it? Hitler and Franco as well. Using some part of the society to control the inflation of their economical actions.
In a socialism society your services are given by the state, so, do you must work, it's not only a right, but a duty.
In some socialism experiences the workers have part of the profit of the enterprise, not on capitalism.
In fascism you work for the nation (that makes a huge difference), the concept is: make the nation powerful. In socialism, you work for your comrades, for the society, for the well being. Nation (as nationalism) is a pernicious ideology.
Excuse me, but work in a fascism state is more similar to work to a democracy state. Socialism is very different.
