they're completely opposite on the spectrum. socialism is people's democratic ownership of property and government.
And frankly, if you ever try to impose that on me, I will treat it just as any other form of assault (as will many with me across North America).
A lot feel the same way about the system you impose on them.
No "employer" imposes any system on anyone, they can only negotiate.
People can feel whatever they'd like, that doesn't entitle them to property which is as much theirs as the neighbour's dog.
Mr Mussolini was a member of the Communist Party in Italy before creating its own version.
The main difference between socialism and fascism(also called national socialism) is that instead of accepting the International Socialist agreement(that was supported[paid by] and controlled by Russia by the way), they decided to be on their own, that is nation interest are a priority over international agreements.
The other important difference is that fascist were completely defeated, while communist won the WWII. That has made "fascist" an insult while "communist" is not.
You can make films about Hitler or Mussolini being terrible, but you can not about Mao big leap and cultural revolution for example. Most documentation on Russia's atrocities has been destroyed.
NSDAP went around privatizing industries and the government was deeply in-bed with private entities
In capitalism you have property rights. That being so, your private information can be protected and hence “capitalized” upon (pun intended) by the owner because in free market you would be able to sell it (should you want to do that) at a price that makes you willing to share your info.
So what we have is rather fascism, or extreme statism. And it’s more prevalent in countries where the government controls more GDP (so, socialist-like countries).
