The Greater of three Evils? - Fascism, Capitalism, Neo- Libe

[fightthepower]

Which theories out of Fascism, Capitalism, and Neo- Liberalism do you consider to be your biggest enemy and why? ( I don't mean "who currently threatens Leftism the most in the world today" I mean "which theory do you dissagree with most).

Personally, I'm caught between Fascism and Neo- Liberalism.

Now woulndn't Capitalism and Neo-Liberalism fall under the same category?

both stress individual property, both stress individual concerns, neither stress community concerns.....

So I'm gonna say..all of the above

you can't be a socialst and hate one any less than the others

Fascism, there is private ownership, normaly it's extremely authoritarian, oppressive, not only financially, but also personaly and phisicaly (see Musolini's Italy), no one sane is in favor of it, so theres no doubt it's a great evil in the world. Capitalism second, Neo-liberalism 3rd.

[canikickit]

Fascism is the worst, no doubt.

[timbaly]

The facist capitalist dictatorship is the supreme evil. It's the worst possible combination in my view.

[Palmares]

Fascism.

[ComradeJunichi]

Fascism is capitalism in decay. The greater evil is - fascism.

[Pete]

I agree Fascism

[fightthepower]

Neo- Liberalism is like extreme capitalism, a completely deregulated economy. They both hold many of the same principles, except that in capitalism, there is *some* (and I use the term loosely) government control over corporations. That's where I have my concern with neo-liberalism, a benevolent fascist leader (as unlikely as that may be) could, in theory, run the country *satisfactorily*(again, I use the term very loosely). The government would have close to literally no control in a neo- liberalist country.

I guess based on the way that fascism would and has been practiced, I would say that it is the greater of the three evils, but, neo-liberalism has the potential to be worse than fascism, and should be treated with the same opposition as both capitalism and fascism.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

So is neo-liberalism like Anarcho-Capitalism?

[Conghaileach]

Not really, because with neo-liberalism it's a foreign government or business that runs the country.

[Xvall]

They're all the fucking same! Wake the fuck up!

[Non-Sectarian Bastard!]

Damn wanted to say the samething. I agree with comrade Dracoli. They are the same. A captalist is someone who doesn't care about some elses rights only about it's wealth. That makes him a facist and liberal is someone who thinks that donating 1 dollar each month will compensate his exploitation of the world.

extremely evil

[Triple X]

Fascisam is the worst because it has causted world war 2 fascisam is realated to the racisam. Hitler was a fascist and racist so it is certien that will his followers will be racists.Fascists were beasts remember Hitlers Jew camps.

[man in the red suit]

correct me if I'm wrong but I think you're confusing neo-liberalism with neo-libertarianism.

[new democracy]

Fascism, but i had the option i would choose the kind of state capitalism the DPRK have.

[CompadreGuerrillera]

id have to say Fascism for sure
but they are all connected
because really fascism is just capitalism or any other system in decay
and neo-liberatarianism, is really the same as capitalism, just more extreme form fo capitalism
but fascism has got to be the worst

[Ari HR]

Um...Fascism.

[Comrade Daniel]

Facism is the worse of em all!!!!!!
Look what Hitler and Stalin did,
and look to N-Korea now.

[synthesis]

Comrade Daniel and Triple X:

Neither Hitler, nor Stalin, nor the DPRK are fascist.

Fascism IS NOT totalitarianism!

It is a specific economic system.

“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of State and corporate power.”
-Benito Mussolini

There you have it, a complete definition of fascism from one of the only two fascist governments to have existed (to my knowledge, and excluding ancient Rome.)

I dislike their synonymity in today's culture.
