Stalinism and Fascism have a lot of similarities thanks to both being totalitarian governments, but that doesn't mean one should overlook their differences. Stalinists promised a worker's utopia and go on the left, Fascists promised a good police state and go on the right.

If you do, you shouldn't expect to get a meaningfully discerning system. -- JoshuaGrosse |
