    Because at it's heart communism is for total equality, no single person having more than the next man. That there has never been a Communist country run along these ideals shows that while you can promote equality, power corrupts, even Communists and the human race is made of individuals not ants.

    We do not do our best without incentives and there will always be those in power, whether in control of a co-operative or country who will seek to feather their own nests.

    Fascists seek rejuvenation of their nation based on commitment to a national community where its individuals are united together as one people in national identity by supra-personal connections of ancestry, culture, and blood through a totalitarian single-party state that seeks the mass mobilisation of a nation through discipline, indoctrination and eugenics. Fascism seeks to purify the nation of foreign influences that are deemed to be causing degeneration of the nation or of not fitting into the national culture. Fascism promotes political violence and war, as forms of direct action that create national regeneration, spirit and vitality.

    There are many similarities but the main difference is that Communism has at it's core equality whereas Fascism seeks to divide and promote it's hierarchy of superior and inferior people.

    This means that many people look at Communist ideals of equality, no rich, no poor, the people owning all the lands and means of production as good things. It is appealing, what they do not take account is human nature, the good such as the will to suceed and generosity and the bad the greed, sellfishness and thirst for power that many have.

    Communism is ehh.

    The official definition of Communism is as follows.

    Communism is a social, political and economic ideology that aims at the establishment of a classless, moneyless, stateless and socialist society structured upon common ownership of the means of production

    When has the world EVER seen a classless, moneyless, stateless and socialist society structured upon common ownership of the means of production?

    Which country can you you show me right now has ever had a system that was moneyless?

    If you can't show me one then clearly Communism has never gotten off the ground.May be it is time for you to go and do a little more reading about what Communism is.

    It obviously pointless answering your question as you clearly have no idea what Communism is so i have doubts that you know what fascism is.

    Because Communists have always been in denial, it was the same in the 1930s.

    Fortunately Communism has never been done properly otherwise there would have to be more than 60% of the World Population annihilated, heaven forbid, let alone the ignorance of Economics, Marx was so ignorant he thought that the wealth was fixed and that if 1 person became rich another must be made poor LOL.

    Fascism and Communism are so similar that is why they hate each other, we call Fascists Right wing only because that is where they sat in the French Parliament, otherwise they are as Left wing as each other.

    Communism, Socialism and Fascism all require you submit to the State (in other words the Top vicious thug) Freedom relies on being true to Family and friends and is anathema to CSF, hence why free trade is so hated, poor people becoming rich, not at all what the CSF thugs want.

    I don't praise either. Both communism and fascism are extremes to be avoided.

    Being left of centre or having more liberal views doesn't actually make you a communist. No more does having more right wing views make you a fascist.

    Because people confuse fascism with the German Nazi government in the 1930 and 40s and Communism with Stalinism.

    Because the evils of Fascism are pushed in your face by left wing organisations that support Communism - the SWP, UAF and International Marxist Group for example. Anyone who criticises their beliefs is immediately branded with such terms as "fascist" and stigmatised as a result. Politicians especially have learnt over the last decade to fall in line with their thinking - or risk ostracising.

    The evils of Communism are less well publicised and it's supposed belief in "all are equal" falls neatly into line with the Socialist system prevalent in the UK. Only when you delve into the history of Communism and talk to those who lived under it's yoke does one realise that the system, like Fascism, rules by fear and the eradication of opposition.

    If you ever visit Dubrovnik in Croatia and catch the ferry to the islands you will pass a beautiful little Island named Lastovo - an Island with a dark past. It was the scene of over 5,000 executions during the Partisan/Communist era - including my Father-in-Law's cousin and his son. My Father-in-Law came to the UK in 1947 as a political refugee for "crimes against the State" - he was sentenced to death in his absence by the peoples court. A sentence that remained in force until 1982. In that same year the remains of his Cousin and his son were returned to their families for proper burial, their graves show 1982 as the year of death - as no records of the executions existed.

    I criticize people, in particular corrupt people in positions of power. Corrupt people in positions of power are responsible for the "deaths", not some ideology.

    Those who praise Communism actually know what it is, and how it has NEVER BEEN IMPLEMENTED BEFORE!

    Source(s): Communism is a light form of Anarchy. Most forms of Anarchy are left-wing, because they are anti-capitalist. DOUBLE DEBUNK!
