    Fascism is distinctly right wing. Tankies are totalitarian, fascists are also totalitarian.

    Communism isn’t totalitarian. However, every communist that’s gained power becomes a totalitarian or supports totalitarianism.

      Also, if every communist regime is totalitarian, at what point does it become part of communism? In any case, I think there needs to be a disctinction between “communism the theory” and “communism the practice”

      Let me rephrase, fascism as the word is currently used is found everywhere in the economic spectrum.

      We aren’t talking about 1930s Italy.
