Leftists and Democrats continue to be confused about the definition of socialism and fascism. They particularly have a hard time recognizing that Nazis were socialists, and that Hitler said he intended to destroy capitalism. But they know that Hitler was bad, so fascism is bad, fully failing to recognize that they themselves are fascists. Here is an article explaining what socialism and why a true socialist government must by necessity be a police state. As mentioned in the article the USA is not yet a fascist state, but is definitely heading in that direction. Obama has in a very short term in office already confiscated private property with due process, tried to establish a system for citizens to report on their fellow citizens legal activities, and to censor his critics. The media mostly support Obama without question or criticism. And the Democrats are close to establishing one-party rule, aided by the ineptitude of Republicans.
