From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How are communism and fascism the same? What definitions are you using?

AFAIK communism advocates for a stateless, classless, moneyless society, while fascism advocates for imperial nationalism and the violent class hierarchies of capitalism, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, etc.

They seem much more like opposites under the standard definitions. I don't understand doublespeak.

as a Russian who has studied the history of the USSR, i can say that Stalin's regime might seem like a kind of fascism now, but by no means am I saying that Stalin's communism was anything like Marx's or Lenin's.

How communism was implemented historically is similar to fascism
