Boy: I'm raising money for my school's "future politicians club." Would you like to buy some magazines? Man: These are already addressed to my neighbor. Boy: Yeah. I got them from his mailbox. Man: You're gonna go far, kid.

Glad you asked, Kim. Communism and fascism are both forms of socialism, the only difference being that the fascists pretend that their centrally managed economies still have private ownership. (Nazi racial doctrine is not essential to fascism. The fascist regimes of Italy, Spain, Argentina, Hungary, Finland, etc., were not particularly racist. Remember, it was an Italian who invented fascism.)
As for your reference to “amerika”, this is a real timewarp from the New Left of the ’60s, whose blatant irrationality so scared the public that they swung toward the Right and elected Reagan and even turned some Democrats into small-government types for a while. (As for Repubs, they pretend to be for small government, then join the Dems to expand it, just not as fast as the Dems would like. No party today is out to defend your rights.)
