Do you think Fascism is always looked at worse than Communism?

Question

I mean honestly communism has killed well over 100 million people, fascism hasn't even come close to half of that. Why do people seem to think fascism is worse than communism?

Even if I was a revisionist, what does that half to do with my question?

Answer 1

Communism is far worse. Stalin was far more brutal than Hitler. Stalin also starved tens of millions of people to death. He was a role model for China's Mao Tse Tung. Mao later starved to death ten's of millions of people by taking away their food that they had grown with their own hands.

Many Chinese in China pray to the dead leader Mao. Mao is still worshipped by China's leaders. America cannot trust China until Mao's picture is out of Tiananmen square. http://voyage.typepad.com/china/2006/06/oh_mao_god.html

Some facts:
1) 100 Million dead and counting because of communism.
2) Chinese leaders still pray to the mass murder that killed 70 million people.(newest figure is 70 million dead)
3) Each year that goes by, China points more missiles at the U.S. and at U.S. soldiers stationed in Asia.
4) China is trying to bankrupt the U.S. by devaluing its currency while pegging the dollar.
5) A communist general in China has threatened to nuke the U.S.. (2005)
6) A leader of China talked of nuclear bombing Japan. (2006)
7) China still arrests priests for praying. Most of the priests have permanently disappeared.

Answer 2

Communism is ehh. The official definition of Communism is as follows. Communism is a social, political and economic ideology that aims at the establishment of a classless, moneyless, stateless and socialist society structured upon common ownership of the means of production When has the world EVER seen a classless, moneyless, stateless and socialist society structured upon common ownership of the means of production? Which country can you you show me right now has ever had a system that was moneyless? If you can't show me one then clearly Communism has never gotten off the ground.May be it is time for you to go and do a little more reading about what Communism is. It obviously pointless answering your question as you clearly have no idea what Communism is so i have doubts that you know what fascism is.

Answer 3

1. The ideals of communism seem noble to a lot of leftist historians, so the communists are more easily forgiven.

2. Fascists attempted genocides - complete elimination of ethnic groups from the face of the Earth. Communists just killed their political opponents.

In reality, though, fascism and communism are two sides of the same coin. The only real difference is that fascists admit that they allow certain people to become wealthy, while in communism it just happens. Just look at China - it is now a fascist state run by a group that calls itself the Communist Party, not a communist state.

Answer 4

You're wrong.The atrocities of Stalin were carried out in the name of communism but aren't part of the ideology.Many of the millions who died were real socialists who stood up against his repression.
The Great Purge and Terror were launched by Stalin not because he was insane. On the contrary, it was a conscious, well-prepared course of action to safe-guard the rule of the bureaucracy. Stalin arrived at the decision to destroy the 'Old Bolsheviks' not later than the summer of 1934, and then began to prepare his operation - beginning with the murder of Kirov in December of that year.
Trotsky explained Stalin's actions:
'It is time, my listeners, it is high time, to recognise, finally, that a new aristocracy has been formed in the Soviet Union. The October Revolution proceeded under the banner of equality. The bureaucracy is the embodiment of monstrous inequality. The revolution destroyed the nobility. The bureaucracy creates a new gentry. The revolution destroyed titles and decorations. The new aristocracy produces marshals and generals. The new aristocracy absorbs an enormous part of the national income. Its position before the people is deceitful and false. Its leaders are forced to hide the reality, to deceive the masses, to cloak themselves, calling black white. The whole policy of the new aristocracy is a frame-up.'

Fascism on the other hand glorifies a culture of violence and contempt for anything weak soft or sensitive.
In the communist utopia,wich never is achieved cos it's economically not realistic. violence is not a part of socieety.Bu the goal of communism is not a violent society.
In fascism it is essential and wanted.Force and survival of the fittest to the extreme including killing those who are weak old or sick.
To put it in one sentence,communism is the dictatorship of equality but fascism is the dictatorship of inequality.

Answer 5

It's because Hitler was a fascist, and most people view Hitler as the single most evil person to ever walk the face of the Earth. Stalin is not held in the same light because he was on "our side" during WW2. In reality, Stalin was worse than Hitler.

Another side to this is that Communism in theory is basically a utopia (notice that I said IN THEORY, in practice it turned into one of the most oppressive systems ever). And fascism is an ultra-nationalist take-over-the-world type philosophy.

Answer 6

Fascism and Communism are both extreme forms of government that oppress the people who live under them.

Answer 7

The "reds" had better press image. To be a leftist has a certain "charm" among the so called intellectuals, even after it has been shown that communism was a cruel, outdated from the start and stupid doctrine. After WWII, a fascist was the same as a lout, a gangster, despite the pre-war admiration that many had for Mussolini and Hitler.

Both doctrines are evil and their demise has been beneficial to humankind.

Answer 8

Read the "Black Book of Communism".

As the death toll mounts—as many as 25 million in the former Soviet Union, 65 million in China, 1.7 million in Cambodia, and on and on—the authors systematically show how and why, wherever the millenarian ideology of Communism was established, it quickly led to crime, terror, and repression. An extraordinary accounting, this book amply documents the unparalleled position and significance of Communism in the hierarchy of violence that is the history of the twentieth century.

Answer 9

Yes.
That's because the News Media tilts toward Communism.

Actually, there's not much difference between Communism & Fascism......and Liberalism.

Answer 10

i agree, communism was worse than fascism;; i think fascism atrocities are more known ;; sometimes out of politics not to offend the big brother from east
lets not forget about Ribbentrop-Molotov pact and the way they both gladly dismembered Poland

Answer 11

Those destructive "communist" regimes were actually communist and fascist. At the core, communism would probably be preferred to fascism. But neither are really ever practiced as intended.
