That would be like me saying that kings beat aces.......it is so lacking in any substantive quality and understanding that it is absurd. You really need to spend a little time reading. Your comprehension of political nomenclature is bizarre.
Like so many things... you are dazzled by the veneer and ignore the inner workings.
Fascism is just socialism with the pretense of a free market.
There is no "free market" and never was. Marx was as far from fascist as it is possible to be.
Fascism in power is the open, terroristic dictatorship of the most reactionary, the most chauvinistic, the most imperialistic elements of finance capitalism.Karl Marx (1818 - 1883)
Lol... Marx didn't say that... not that you care about accuracy. You are a regurgitator... no context, no objectivity, no thght.
And you're still a dumbass.
What Are the Differences Between Fascism & Marxism?Read more : http://www.ehow.com/info_8177338_differences-between-fascism-marxism.html
Fascism and Marxism are often confused because they appeared as political philosophies at roughly the same point in history, and some 20th century governments mixed socialist and fascist rhetoric. Actually, fascism and Marxism are opposites. Both philosophies call for a strong central government, but fascists believe that the role of the people is to serve the state, while Marxists believe that the state exists to serve the people.
Philosophy of Fascism
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, fascism is a political philosophy that "stresses the primacy and glory of the state, unquestioning obedience to its leader, subordination of the individual will to the state’s authority, and harsh suppression of dissent." Under a fascist government the role of the individual is to serve the greater glory of the state. Military and political leaders are celebrated and revered, and military action is seen as a necessary function of the state in advancing its power and prestige. A fascist government sees the class system as natural and something to be preserved, and individual dissent is not only discouraged but frequently criminalized.
Marx's Philosophy
Marx advocated for the elimination of social class in society. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Marx believed that "people are entitled to enjoy the fruits of their labour but are prevented from doing so in a capitalist economic system." Marx believed that a company's profits should be distributed to the company's workers, not to investors, or "capitalists." Marxism put great emphasis on the people in society, including their role in a democratic government and their democratic control of the workplace.
Left or Right
In the "Mystery of Fascism," author David Ramsay Steele points out that the word "fascism" has become more of a slur than a philosophy. "The term can even be extended to any dictatorship that has become unfashionable among intellectuals." Steele argues that, throughout the 20th century, the term fascist was used to describe both left wing and right wing governments, governments backed by big business as well as communist governments that did not accept any notion of personal property. Steele also notes that, while many socialists of the 1890s later became fascists, most of them no longer called themselves socialist after their switch.
Nazis in Practice
The Nazis, while undeniably fascist, were also called the "National Socialist" party. This, too, causes a great deal of confusion as to the difference between the two philosophies. The Nazi Party was originally the German Workers Party before changing its name to the National Socialist Party in 1920. Adolph Hitler took over leadership of the party in 1933 and appears to have abandoned the party's socialist underpinnings. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, "Fascists made no secret of their hatred of Marxists of all stripes, from totalitarian communists to democratic socialists." Just as Mussolini used squads of armed "Blackshirts" to suppress unions and left-wing movements, the Nazi SA, also known as "Brownshirts," were used to violently suppress left wing movements in Nazi Germany.
