    It seems to me your definition of fascism is pretty much any dictatorship that’s not a monarchy and not communist.

    It doesnt matter what Italy wants. In the End they are good dogs and follow. They cant leave the EU or would risk collapse. It also doesent matter what they want. In the end they follow our orders.

    Not after they see Germany playing Puppet for Putin. Then They will join with Brits and leave the EU. Then Greece will follow, then Portugal. The Domino effect will be in play and Germany wont be able to do anything about it.

    Just make sure ya let us know once Germany start paying that protection Money to Putin.

    The guilt business is absurd. Young Germans have nothing to do with Hitler. Most of their parents didn't, either.

    Too bad more people in other countries aren't getting an education in the danger of people like Hitler.

    Wrong again. They cant leave or go instantly bancrupt.

    We made an example 3 years ago, when we gave Greece a vision of its future and cut them off from our support. When they pensioners started starving on the streets the crawled back and did evrything we demanded.

    Same bout Italy.

    And Putin seriously? trump is a Putin muppet.

    Communism is a classless society where production is collectivized, money no longer exists, and the state has withered away.

    If Communism is indeed a 'classless' society then the leftists are almost there.

    Someone always gets the corner office, the chauffeur, and the Dacha.

    Stalin and Lenin learned that you can control the country just by controlling the bureaucracy. That's what's happened in Washington over the past decade, and likely more, but the Founders, knowing human tendencies, were smart enough to install a 'checks and balances' system. Leftists are trying to destroy these balances by ignoring Congress and trying to destroy the Presidency but they will ultimately fail.

    Middle America will once again come to the rescue.

    It is what happens when Communism is attempted in the real world. Communism as an ideal does not properly account for the realities of human nature and how we relate to one another socially and economically. You can't erase the sense of social status or selfishness, the tendency to corruption, the sense of ownership, all manner of barriers to Communism actually working. It would be as misguided an effort as a libertarian state or the sort of society imagined and sought after by religious fundamentalists.

    That, without social and cultural cohesion, is the only possible kind of socialism.

    Tens of millions had to die in order to prove your points yet there are still those who feel this is a great idea.

    Of course the chance to live in a commune is always available but generally supporters never try it, or they leave. It's much better as an ideal to which others should aspire - but never for themselves.

    Communism requires the elimination of any competition from capitalism. That's why individual communes in a capitalist economy don't work so well.

    Of course. There is no socialist regime where all property owners are compensated fairly for their collectivized assets.
