Democratic Socialism is Democratic Fascism; Democracy is Fascistic - quick read for the theme

It is an academic discussion as to whether a belief or specific governmental program is socialistic or not, and exactly what is ‘true’ socialism, or ‘democratic socialism.’  As a matter of practicality, it is Statism versus Capitalism.  Statism is any form of government (even democracies have their elected officials) whereby those in command (for the moment) can use legal force upon all individuals in society to obey.  Capitalism (if not laissez faire, then it is not Capitalism, but a form of Statism) are individuals interacting voluntarily.  It must be noted that the voluntary aspects of Capitalism involve a lack of governmental interference; economic and natural laws are still in place, the same as they would in any system regardless of how much it is wanted for the State to override those laws. 

Statism is a tool that gets wielded by whoever happens to hold the power at the moment; that sword will continue to exist as it gets handed down from one administration, tyrant, generation to the next, to be imposed on whomever of the next moment.  George Orwell (2003) summarized in his satire Animal Farm, that after the veneer of the ‘revolution’ had faded and the lofty goals had passed, and the leaders lived in opulence while the rest lived in squalor “There was nothing there now except a single Commandment.  It ran ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS.”  Even with the best intentions granted – which is far more than many politicians deserve – it is the members of the State ruling over the rest, being more equal than the rest.

By whatever name is used, there is a common thread that links them all together: that thread is some group of others, however formed, deciding what are someone else’s legal options and rights.  Socialism is Fascism; Social Democracy is Fascism; Democracy is Fascism; Corporatism is Fascism; Fascism is Totalitarianism; all of them fall under the concept of Statism.  Practically, to distinguish between them is to identify the type of [State-sponsored] parasite latched upon your body. Rejecting each of the parasitic systems, and we have Capitalism, which is nothing more than the recognition of voluntarism among people, leaving no [State-sponsored] parasites, but free exchange.
