Bro, you said it yourself
The government owned the means of production in fascist Germany, socialism is the people owning the means of production
They are polar opposites
What the hell? People owning the means of production in a socialist ideology? Have you ever read Marx?
Private property (people owning the means of production) is capitalism.
In socialism everything is owned by the state.
This is bare basic elementary school economy.
You are literally swapping the meanings.
How can I even take you serious if you fail at the very basic idea behind socialism vs capitalism?
socialism is primarily about redistributing wealth and power to make the system bottom-up, where the masses control the means of production through direct democracy in workplaces and government
Socialism is a dictatorship, Marx himself called it that. There's nothing democratic there, stop calling it names that don't apply and actually read a damn book about socialism from the people that created it. Crocodiles aren't flying creatures no matter how much your imagination wants them to be.
communism is a governmental ownership of most goods, services and properties, with the intent to eliminate classes in society through an equal distribution of wealth to all, headed by a ruling council, preferably of unions, but it has never been achieved, since the primary examples were two-class societies, rather than the end-goal of a no-class society
The typical "it has never been achieved" fallacy. It's been achieved, countless times already, and it always fails cause there's a big difference between reality and idealism. It might work if every human being ever were mindless robots and everyone was an exact carbon copy (same knowledge, same potential, same phisique, same tastes, same thoughts and ideas, etc). Like I said, crocodiles don't fly no matter how much you want them to. People are different, they have different potentials, not everyone is Einstein, not everyone is Bezos, not everyone is Ussain Bolt. In communism you'd cut off Messi's legs so that everyone can be just as good as him in football, see why that doesn't work? It goes against how we as a society work.
"It's neven been done right because I wasn't the one doing it. If I was the one to do it then I'd be extremely succesful and everyone will be perfect and happy" <- There's a name for that: egomaniacs (which perfectly suits with every communist leader and follower).
fascism is a totalitarian ideology held up by a single dictator with a cult of personality, all but a monarch, with a rigid hierarchy of citizens, usually divided by race more so than class
You mean like Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Che and every other communist leader? Or do you really believe that Kim Yong Un was an NBA superstar?
You mean like how every communist regime is divided between "those who rule" and "those who are ruled"? And those who rule are above the law.
You mean like how all communist regimes segregated between race, sexual preference and gender?
According to Che Guevara black people are black because they don't like to take baths and they are poor because they spend all their money on alcohol, parties and drugs. He also built forced labor camps for homosexuals because he firmly believed that "hard work will make a man out of them".
Why am I applying fascist ideologies to communism? Oh that's right, they are twin brothers of the same ideological roots that is socialism.
they are not compatible at all
all three are very different
Except when nazi germany was absorved by the soviet union so was the fascist ideology absorved into communism.
Fascism and communism are two (not that different) ways of applying the same theoretical background (socialism).
The simple fact that both Mussolini and Hitler called themselves socialists (and they both started their political carreer in a socialist party), the simple fact that fascism applies socialist ideas (goverment controls and owns means of production, very limited private property if any, expropriations, censorship, media control, etc), the simple fact that all fascist leaders wrote countless books explaining why they are socialists, the simple fact that the Nazi party's full name was National Socialist Workers Party, the simple fact that all historians, history books and accounts from the era point to this yet you still continue to deny it just means you are probably the most dense person to ever write anything down in this site.
The fight between fascism and communism is not about "left or right", it's more like the two bastard sons of a King (Socialism) fighting each other to inherit the throne.
Just to finish it off, a few key points:
- Fidel Castro (a Communist dictator) was a big fan of Francisco Franco (a Fascist dictator).
- All Fascists were against democracy and capitalism. Why do you think they attacked west europe and the US?
- From the point of view of fascism, democratic capitalist countries are the right wing. So be very careful when you use the term "extreme right" to refer to capitalism, as that was coined by none other than Nazi Germany. In a democracy, "extreme right" refers to absolute monarchy, while both fascism and communism would be "extreme left", all of which are outside the scope of a democracy due to their totalitarian nature.
Grab a god damn history book and learn about fascism/nazism and WWII and stop copy-pasting whatever you hear from people who have never done so.
