What separates fascism from socialism is its elevation of the state (and
a state religion) above the people. In true socialism the state manages
the resources on the part of the people. That would be the case in
either "democratic socialism" OR Marxian socialism. The difference in
these two contenders is the insistence of the Marxists that the managing
entity called the state must be installed by forcible overthrowing the
current oligarchy. All the crap about worldwide versus nation states is
exactly that: crap. Communism is anarchy in its proposed form and that
state of being is a myth such as a unicorn. Some power will arise to
enforce the ideals of communism in spite of anything the people might
want. And none of this crap has anything at all to do with social
democracy which is capitalism with a rational welfare state.


Or democratic socialism, like Bernie Sanders.

If you destroy the credibility of language, the field is open to the likes
of Sarah Palin and Roy Fisk, who have faith in wordy things.

Lest we forget, Orwell's "Big Brother" used the dumbing down and perversion
of the language to facilitate a totalitarian state...
