@davijeph liar, just because you use the word "apple pie" does not mean that apples only occur in pie form, or that pies are only apple does it liar? fascism is the economic system where the government sets prices , but property can be owned. it does not mean racism does it liar? it has nothing to do with hitler does it liar? it was the economic system of the nazis but that does not mean that it is nazi does it liar? socialism is government set prices.

I am not pro-communist. Communism failed, but only in part because the government tried to run everything. Mostly it was because their society was focused on trying to make everyone equal. Equality is a myth.
The government should not run everything, but government, good government does have a place. The reason government these days is so inefficient is that just anybody is allowed to run for office and make public policy, and the public willingly elects idiots.

At least I have the Moon to look forward too. Perhaps, the best and the brightest will leave this giant cesspool of idiots behind and start a real society on the Moon and all the Earthling commoners can look up in envy.

It's all thanks to democracy. Everyone feels entitled to just decide what ever they want with no respect to tradition or expert opinion. Would you have a hospital run by an election from the community? No, you would have it run by experts in hospital management. Similarly, our government should be run by political science experts, not by this sham of a system we call democracy.
It's been a race to the bottom from the start, and it keeps getting worse.

...to redefine words.
What happened to respect for tradition? These words were used in the past and had meanings given to them in the past, meanings imparted by well thought out political theorists. And then ordinary people and careerist politicians take it upon themselves to use those words however they please and then when someone corrects them they get all defense like you are.

If everyone started using "asthma" to mean "a runny nose" that wouldn't justify considering the definition of "asthma" to then mean "a runny nose".
Similarly, words like "communism" have already been defined through history. You and the rest of humanity have no right to change their meanings just because you feel it. Doing that confuses general political debate. It makes it impossible to have an intelligent political discussion when sheer consensus is allowed...

I don't claim special privilege to decide the words. I am saying that HISTORY decides what these words mean, NOT individuals, NOT groups, NOT the majority, NOT people in their everyday lives, HISTORY!
Communism REQUIRES a rhetoric aimed at equality, or it is by definition NOT communism. Read Marx, and you'll understand why that's an important part of the definition.

@halloranedward I'm sorry but your explanations are far to simplistic to mean anything. Fascism as little to do with economic theory it was all about the self renewal of racial and cultural rebirth of the Nation. Mussolini and Hitler had little interest in economics but were only interested in the "purity" of their particular Nations. It had nothing as such to do with capitalism, socialism or communism. There is a massive difference between communist and todays meaning of the word socialist.
