Well, there is one commonality. All of the things it lumps together as governments are concerned do not respect the curse of the individual. Our constitutional republic was designed to try to protect that as much as possible, but people have still figured out how to rig/manipulate/corrupt the system to their own ends.
Socialists, Fascists, Communists are all heavily authoritarian when it comes down to it. So what- the symptoms are a little different, but the fundamental underpinnings of all these things are nearly the same. Socialism is "lighter" so it often gets a free pass, but it is still the same brand of garbage as the other two, just minus executions and
gulags. (You're still being robbed at gunpoint, though. )
Democratic Socialism = no different from any of the above, it's just a "lite" version of the same type of crap. It's still a bunch of people voting to
steal from others.
Most people, most voters, don't get this- the real battle is about how much power you want to give the government; all the "issues" people bicker over are actually somewhat
beneath that. Most of the issues are shit that governments should have NO BUSINESS in deciding. People frankly should have been hung a long time ago for even
suggesting some of them.
