Communism Vs Fascism

[Ahovking]

So Here Is The Question
Which Is The Lesser Of Two Evils


Communism or Fascism​

And Why ?​

Nevermind

Can a political system be evil?

 

[Patroklos]

Commusim, as its faults are far less obvious to weak minds leading to angsty teenagers falling into its trap are more easily and spamming our boards with its tenents.

More spam = more evil.

I agree with bob_page here.

lol teens are generally better than adults in every way. The only difference is you replace "drama" with "politics"

 

[Newbunkle]

Communism, because Facism is the only evil one in the OP.

Noticed that email spam is drastically down lately?

My email spam volume is currently at about 10% of its all-time peak.

I think this must be caused by the recent fall of communism.

It is all about the people involved.

First of all, I think by "Communism" you mean "Stalinism" or something similar. Because there are anarcho-communists.

With that being said, I'd take Fascism over Stalinism honestly.

Now, if you meant the type of Communism that people actually support (Even though I strongly oppose it) that's a different story.

 

[Tani Coyote]

As was said, you might want to change Communism to Stalinism to avoid "but that isn't true Communism" arguments that plague every damned thread on the subject.

I choose Communism/Stalinism. Shocker I know, but at least social services are provided extensively. It'd be better if it wasn't prone to a military-industrial complex a la Fascism.

Both are two sides of the same coin of human oppression. The more far apart two sides get, the closer they get. Irony.

Communism. Easy. There is not a single appealing thing about Fascism.

 

[GhostWriter16]

If it was Stalin's Communism VS Hitler's Nazism, I'd have to choose Hitler's Nazism since it wouldn't hurt me as much, but I'd try to overthrow the government either way.

If its Stalinism VS Fascism IN GENERAL its an easy decision. All Fascism really has to mean is a strong central government, strong military, and Nationalism, it doesn't really have to mean anything else. Which these things alone isn't good but doesn't have to be Hell on Earth.

The OP doesn't say Stalinism, it says communism. If you want to specify what type of communism, then at least do the same for fascism. Communism vs Fascism IN GENERAL is a very easy decision.

Well yes, I'd take anarcho-communism or Democratic Socialism over any form of Fascism. The problem is, its tough to know what he meant.

But the Maoist model of Communism and the Leninist model were all similar to the Stalin model, say either one and I'd pick the same answer. On the other hand, life was MUCH, MUCH better in Fascist Italy than Nazi Germany, both were bad but they were VERY different levels of bad.

Thats not "all" Fascism "has to mean" at all.

Fascism is a complete and utter change to any current system. There isn't so much of a strong state: the state is only as strong as the population, but thats because the population are the state. There is supposed to be no separation between the two. A strong military is only required in that the stronger the military compared to the military of another nation, the stronger the citizens compared to citizens in other nations. Those guys are totalitarian, not merely authoritarian. And by their thinking, their totalitarianism is justified by the idea that the citizenry are one organic mass, and therefore one fault by one is a fault to all.

Please, don't treat Fascism as a subset of the liberalist Enlightenment government system. It is not. Fascism, Communism, Anarchist societies, all cannot merely be described in the form of "this is just the current system with x, y and z tacked on as well".

Well, that you can have one without the other is still a bit of myth that would have to actually materialize in a sufficeintly relevant way at a sufficiently relevant scope.

Like just once.

Unless your the dictator.

 

[Gangor]

Stalinism is the natural conclusion of communism. There's no such thing as "real" communism just as there's no such thing as "real" democracy (or whatever you want to call the opposite ideology). Fascism accepts this, and exploits it. For my part, at least communism has noble ideals.

 

[Gigaz]

Easy choice - communism. You can pretend to be pro-communist and adapt to the system. In fascism, you'll have serious trouble if you are a jew or some other sort of victim.
