      One thing you gotta know about politics, is you have to use “fascism” when your audience is on the left, but for conservatives, “communism” is a much scarier word so you should use that instead. Its basically code-switching in order to get your point across. The average people are too dumb to understand nuances so you have to dumb it down for them to understand.

          Nationalization of private companies? How is that not a communist act? Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a fascist first and foremost but he’s doing some weirdly collectivist stuff. Which is funny because that is what actually uneducated Americans (not me, and it’s pretty funny you consider yourself to be a spokesperson for “the educated world” when you’re most likely a barely bilingual teenager) have been screaming about for a long time despite our socialized car culture, military, and corporate welfare program. But you go on and raise your blood pressure about things you don’t fully understand and yell on the Internet at people you certainly have little chance of challenging intellectually.
