Answer 1

Fascism is extreme left wing of the political spectrum. Marxism is a form of Communism & is ont he extreme right wing.

The point is that any form of extreme politics requires the same sort of totalitarian regime.

In theory, in Maxism, every is equal.
In Fascism, in theory, 1 person rules everyone else, who're all equal.

Answer 2

I often get blasted for my definition of Fascism: nominal ownership, but the gov tells you what you're permitted to do with it.

Others would challenge me that I miss the essence: bombastic thugs rounding up Jews, or whatever targeted group of the week, to beat upon. However, you could easily see Communists doing the same.

Fascism & Communism (Marxism) are both in the [extreme] socialist domain. But there's a difference. With my definition above in mind, I think we're heading towards Facism.

Answer 3

not quite. fascism and marxism are both variations of communist totalitarian philosophy. The main common points are total political control and a central economic plan. The main difference is that fascism allows limited property rights, while marxism does not. Also fascism finds enemies on nation/ race divisions, while marxism (in theory) on social class dvisions (though in practice also national and racial divisions)

Answer 4

I'd say it's a type of socialism, but not a type of Marxism. Marxism is a distinct variety of socialism, with an emphasis on class war and internationalism that is missing from fascism.

Answer 5

They're diametric opposites. Marxism is an extreme liberal philosophy while Fascism is an extreme Conservative philosophy. Which explains why our nation is descending into Fascism and not Communism.

Answer 6

Just the opposite
