One thing the Fascists & Commies agree on is the right to create dynasties.
Fascists favor the stability of dynastic rule, perhaps

the Communists however believe in the rule of the Academy, the Communists are an academic elite

Communism is a tyranny of radicals, the philosopher kings

the Hegelian dialectic to impose an utopia by destroying the contradictions in society

Communism is not a journey, it's a destination, a one world post scarcity utopia without need for politics

"Communism" is like saying "Shangri-La", it's the "Workers Paradise"

Socialism is the journey, that's how you get to Communism someday in the more distant future

the Socialists want to make a Great Leap Forward, and this is how they end up killing a hundred million people
Communism will work, in a post-scarcity world. The problem is they believe that socialism is the path to that post-scarcity world. They fail to realize the only path to communism is through capitalism. In many ways capitalism is the only economic system that is compatible with the ideal form of communism. It is the only system that allows the workers to own the means of production. No system will bring about the technology needed for a post-scarcity world faster than capitalism.

Do not confuse Capitalism with liberty; it’s simply an investment strategy compatible with liberty. The economics of liberty is free markets.

Liberty and socialism don’t mix, and liberty and Communism are the antithesis of each other. To accept socialism as a goal is to turn your back on individual American liberty.

I was merely defining Communism accurately in context

most people interpret is as being a system, that a Communist government governs by Communism

I was simply pointing out that is not the case however

Communism is a mythical Shangri-la that you reach sometime in the future, by way of Socialism

in the Soviet Union for example, they did not say Communism is at hand, it was aspirational

Socialism is the system, the Hegelian dialectic is the mechanism, Communism is the supposed result in the end

often people will say China is not Communist anymore, they are Capitalists now

the reality is more that the Communists will use any means necessary to reach their utopian Shangri-la

the Chinese Communists are typically oriental, so they call their futuristic Shangri-la "Harmony"

again, it all goes back to the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Hegel propagated the Myth of Human Progress

in essence humanity is progressing towards an ultimate steady state, which is a post scarcity utopia

and in fact, the general public believes that myth and mostly has since the end of the First World War

so the first stage in the Hegelian dialectic is Progressivism

you will note that liberals stopped calling themselves that and starting calling themselves "Progressives"

it became a bait & switch, because liberalism & progressivism are radically different

Progressives do not necessary embrace the Protestant Enlightenment, and that's how you get to Woke

Out of perversity, a lot of people prefer authoritarianism if it keeps somebody else from having more than they do: wealth, travel, intellect, experiences, even love.

People are base at their core: it used to be that institutions like, church, school & fraternity, would quell the worst impulses of envy, resentment & covetousness, but Media is fanning those fires, and the traditional institutions are under heavy attack and can't fight back.

when you say that, then you yourself are embracing the Hegelian dialectic

the dialectic requires two opposing camps

if for example the masses simply ignored the Woke, the Woke would have no power

the only source of their power is enticing white liberals to engage in the Hegelian dialetic

at that point the Hegelians have already won by successfully defining the terms

think of Vietnam, this is a classic example

in actual fact, Vietnam was not existential, America could have ignored it for the most post

the Communists however successfully baited America into an Hegelian dialectical war in the jungle

America as the opposing camp then lured the Communists into the same trap in Afghanistan & Cambodia

the Cold War itself was an Hegelian dialectical war

Shining City On A Hill v. One World Government Utopia

the net result was quagmire, a stalemate with hydrogen bombs

Americans often assert that socialism is un-American

but what they really mean is that Hegelianism is un-American

reason being it was an entirely European paradigm

because there was nowhere to go in an overcrowded Europe

in America on the other hand, there was a place to go to escape from it

Americans went west, leaving the cities behind, to live free on the frontier under God
