Also, there are a number of reasons why he needs to make clear what he means by Communism: national Communism such as exhibited by the Soviet Union or the PRC. Such structures are not the sum and total of Communist thought, and in fact they are structures rejected by most schools of Communism and all schools of Socialism.
Several links may be drawn between the behavior of the CCCP and the Third Reich, but this does not mean that Communists are Fascists and vice versa. Not even close.
He's right. Most Republicans are not Fascists, and most Democrats are not Communists. That said, he has completely misunderstood the Progressive movement and fallen subject to the slippery slope logical fallacy.
To top it off, his claims that having a government which bears extensive welfare provisions and strong regulation of public economic interests (such as food safety) never works is totally wrong. The Scandinavian states are all doing quite well.
i believe in a market were goods are traded by the value of the labor used to create them and a mutual bank gives loans with low interest (enough to pay for the maintenance of the bank) and each individual owns a means of production either individually or collectively
"We will take your farms" Downright scary. The last thing you want the Communists in charge of is agriculture.
Let the Communists plan our military parades, or our subway stations- something they're actually good at. But good god do NOT let them collectivize agriculture...
Fascism is on the Left?
