Communism is just as easy of an answer as fascism. Just a different direction.
No. You're wrong.
I'm from Spain, we had fascism for 40 years. We had no public education for everyone, no free healthcare for everyone, no guaranteed employment, no right to unionize, no pensions, no guaranteed housing, university was only for the rich families, farm workers were exploited by the landowners, there was immense racism and ethnonationalism as state policy, and other cultures and languages (see Basque and Catalan) were forbidden and repressed.
Communism is literally antithetical to fascism, it provides universal free healthcare, universal pensions, guaranteed right to employment, guaranteed housing at affordable prices, universal free education to the highest level, respect for local cultures and languages, socialist internationalism as opposed to ethnonationalism, highest unionization rates, redistribution of the farmlands... This is the reason why the first thing fascists do is murdering all communists, anarchists and socialists
I suggest you read more on what fascism actually was, and what communism has historically actually been.
It's not about the IDEA of communism its the implementation. People can't be trusted. Read the gulhag archipeligo. It might show you some of the implications of how communism is actually practiced. They both suck and we need better. Ideology is fine as long as you don't try to apply it to reality one to one. I can't find a group of ten people who I could stick in a room that would agree 100% on how a government should be run. We live in a world where the perception of a thing dictates how it is thought about and implemented. Communism as an idea is a fluffy utopis where everyone gets a cut and a say. But if you build them in the real world where people actually exist with differing opinions on who should and shouldn't get exterminated for arbitrary party ideology. There are minor situations where communities thrive o. Their ideology. Until the rest of the world comes knocking. What are you guys gonna do to the people that don't want communism once you get into power? A position of power is a position. Of power over people. Power corrupts. Money corrupts. Humans are corruptable. The biggest example of communist implementation is China and they are a pretty capitalist for a communist nation. Communism and fascism are ideologies that people subscribe to.
Let's see what this person's sources for how socialist implementation looked like:
Lmfao, a fucking fiction book written by a fringe fascist-tsarist right wing nationalist. Your comment can be safely disregarded once we learn that your source on "socialist implementation" is literally a work of fiction. "Communism doesn't work in practice, you should watch The Avengers: Age of Ultron"-ass comment
You should try and read a normal book for adults, you know, an actual essay discussing the facts from a scientific standpoint and not a propaganda novel.
Go and read a real book for adults. I suggest you Albert Szymanski's "Human Rights in the Soviet Union" or "Is the Red Flag Flying", or Robert C. Allen's "Farm to Factory" if you're as concerned with the realities of Soviet people as you're showing us.
The Gulag Archipelago: An Experiment in Literary Investigation (Russian: Архипелаг ГУЛАГ, romanized: Arkhipelag GULAG) is a three-volume nonfiction series written between 1958 and 1968 by Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, a Soviet dissident.
