    For example Nazi full name is National Socialism, it’s in the name. In case of fascists in Italy, their entire name came from fascio - which means bundle of sticks - their entire thing is about collectivisation and making individual to work for the greater whole. Just like communism.

    In practice Communism killed (by extermination and starvation) as many people as Nazism, while Fascism in Italy was pretty tame in comparison

      Cool etymology fact, doesn’t make fascism socialist.

      I’m not even a Marxist and I can tell you that’s bullshit. The black book of communism included the death of Nazi soldiers, the HYPOTHETICAL deaths of unborn children due to declined birth rates, and much more bullshit. Ffs, even the coauthors denounced that book later on.

      hmmm… not sure where you’re going with this

      it’s in the name

      OH!!! wow, you just made me realized… the word “socialism” in “national socialism” is the same as the word “socialism” in “socialism.” many times when things are named the same thing they are the same. such is it with language
