What's the difference between socialism, communism, and fascism?

Question

I've looked up previous answers, but they all reflect personal biases. I also tried Wikipedia, but there's not much without personal biases. Are there texbook definitions out there? I don't have books on this anymore.

Answer 1

FASCISM--Fascism is an authoritarian political ideology and mass movement that seeks to place the nation, defined in exclusive biological, cultural, and historical terms, above all other loyalties, and to create a mobilized national community.Many different characteristics are attributed to fascism by different scholars, but the following elements are usually seen as its integral parts: nationalism, authoritarianism, militarism, corporatism, totalitarianism, collectivism, anti-liberalism, opposition to laissez-faire capitalism, and anti-communism
COMMUNISM--Communism is an ideology that seeks to establish a classless, stateless social organization based on common ownership of the means of production
SOCIALISM-Socialism refers to a broad array of doctrines or political movements that envisage a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to social control.[



COMMUNISM is a branch of SOCIALISM

Try Google.
But honestly I've never seen wikipedia to be a bad source.

They are all political philosophies whose essentialy goals for governing are different.

Answer 6

socialism is the far left spectrum along with commism. Fascim is far right. Socialism is all about having a safety net for the people and fascism is all about the business or corporation. Commuism is just a party that goes along with socialism like for example, republicans-conservative and democrat-liberal.

Answer 7

communism is when the goverment controls everything
facism is when a single person controls everything
socialism is when the people work with the government and give them their property and help them go to war
