    Fascism is the logical endpoint of capitalism. Just look up the largest German companies, then what they did between 1933 and 1945.

      There is an amazing video by a Youtuber called Fredda about Coca Cola in Nazi Germany which goes over how the company worked during that time period and afterwards.

          To be fair, communism as seen under Stalin and fascism aren’t too different, horseshoe theory. Pulling the definition of fascism from wikipedia: “a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.”

          Dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation, strong regimentation of the economy, you could see all of those things while Stalin was in power and many continued on subsequent USSR leaders.

          It’s no wonder George Orwell, a democratic socialist, saw the USSR and said “fuck no, I don’t want that shit”

            Tell me you’ve never read communist theory, without telling me you’ve never read communist theory.

            You realize that even The Christ was a communist? He literally told his followers to live in communes and share.
