Fascists? I know there is a difference as usual...we are not Communists, but they are Fascist, so as usual we'll be telling the truth while they stretch it...

1. What's a fascist?
Most people on the street couldn't give you a quick/accurate definition if they had to.

The same applies to "communist" but at least with "communist" there is a strong gut reaction in most people telling them that they do not want to be one.

2. I didn't know communists had freedom of speech,
I thought they looked down upon such things.

4. Those aren't true communists, then, but oppressive regimes.

5. I already do call them fascists
"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." -- Benito Mussolini

6. Technically I like playing by marquis de queensberry rules
But lately and more and more frequently I am thinking if the brown shirt fits let them wear it.
