re: #363 Salamantis

It’s the difference between capitalism and communism. But scandinavian socialisms (emphasis added) such as Sweden still permit private ownership of properties and businesses.

Ah, then you agree that a system can be socialistic while still allowing for private “ownership” of properties and business. Now, we’re getting somewhere. But, if that’s so, then your argument that fascist states were not socialist because of private ownership of productive assets makes no sense. Especially in light of the fact that fascist states have generally exercised both command and control and central economic planning to vastly greater degree than even the Scandanavian states.
