A communist experiences himself as simply an instrument whose function is to actualise a historical necessity. The people, the mythic people, whose instrument the totalitarian leader is, are never simply the actually existing individuals, groups of people and so on. It’s some kind of imagined idealised point of reference which works even when, for example in rebellions against the communist rule, like in Hungary 1956, when the large majority of actually resisting people raises up, is opposed to the regime. They can still say no, these are just individuals, they are not the true people. When you are accused of ‘My God, how could you have been doing all of these horrible things?’ You could have said and this is the standard Stalinist excuse, ‘Of course my heart bleeds for all the innocent victims, I am not responsible for it, I was only acting on behalf of the Big Other… As for myself, I like cats, small children, whatever’.- Slavoj Zizek, "A Pervert's Guide to Ideology"

I would still insist –– no matter what the slef-aggrandizing obscurantist philsophers and toadying academic conformist ignoramuses say ––, that there is no appreciable diference between Marxism and Fascism.
Like Jefferson "I am unalterably opposed to ever yform of tyranny over the mind of Man."
Theocracy is tyranny.
Communism-Socialism is tyranny.
Fascism is tyranny.
ALL forms of governance are potentially tyrannical, and yet ANARCHY is NOT LIBERTY either, because it is bkund to become a dictatorship of the loudest, strongest, nastiest, most brutal, most aggressive BULLIES.
I think that the definition in the video proves the point that socialism is fascism, pure and simple.... a government run economy.
So we agree. but i didn't need a video to tell me what Ive known all too well for at least half a century.
Well people need to know that there's a HUGE difference between social democrats and democratic socialism. The latter represents TYRANNY and it's public advocates should be outted for what they are.
A Rose by any other name...
A skunk by any other name ... ;-)
"The greatest argument against Socialism is Reality."
I love that. Love Stephen Crowder too. He'll soon be appearing at MY new blog.
