If Socialists and Fascists are kissing cousins, then Capitalists and Fascists are newlywed siblings who don't mind fornicating in public.

 

Socialism is (supposed to be) a bottom-up democratic approach to industrial production, which is antithetical to top-down nature of fascism and capitalism.
 

It's easy to overlook the fact that Dubya's grandfather Prescott Bush (and Henry Ford, and many other American capitalists) literally bankrolled the Nazis war industry.

Funny how many capitalists see socialism as a route to authoritarianism.

And many socialists similarly see capitalism as a route to authoritarianism.

The problem is not the capitalism or socialism. The problem is the authoritarianism!
