Dictatorship: You don't have to think for yourself. Fascism relies on a state-run economy.

Communism: Basically the abolition of "classes" of people. The government tries to make everyone equal. This type of government is envied by liberals because they are jealous of other peoples' wealth and this is their way of legally stealing it.

Democracy: Rule by a majority. This does not mean that tyranny cannot exist in a democracy. In a democracy the majority rules. In a republic the individual rules.

Fascism: State run economy, strong sense of nationalism. Basically a word the left throws around but which it doesn't understand the definition.

There are no pro's to fascism or communism, which are both totalitarian forms of government, unless you're the one who is in power. As Mel Brooks once said, "It's good to be the King." Even then, it's not so great. The leaders of totalitarian states tend to die unnatural deaths--just look at any history of the Soviet Union. As forms of government, they are much less efficient than democracies--during World War II, it cost Germany or Soviet Russia twice to produce the same amount of military equipment as it did for democracies like Great Britain or the U.S. Part of this was due to the fact that, for leaders of totalitarian states to hang on to power, they usually set up governments with competing agencies allegedly designed to achieve the same goals. The theory here is that if your underlings are busy squabbling with each other, they have less time and energy to focus on deposing you, the leader. As far as the pro's of democracy, all I can do is quote Winston Churchill, who said that it's the worst form of government in the world--except for all the others.

a very famous journalist has said that Muosolini explained one or two of these...Facism should be called corporatism and communism is universal health care and education.. now Howard Zinn says thats where he heard it...so if there is a pro to Facism then that may be "you are one of the guys on top of the heap and will not be killed by the "state government"...Let's see now, communism is often equated with Maoism or Socialism but it was a doctrine that was written and named by Carl Marx (and Engels) in the 19th century...But when people get ahold of a doctrine the interpretation can be as bad as an interpretation of the Bible...Thus we have hundreds of churches and many types of Communism...But the doctrine originally said that revolution is good for cleansing the private powers that are greedy and use people without consideration of their value as human beings...Therefore it is based on the premise that everyone is created equal, then the state is required to provide education, healthcare and housing for everyone...and when the population is satisfied then it will be most productive and the state will prosper..."Communal living" isn't for everyone...now for capitalism or what we are trying for now "Liberal free trade" capitalism....Its not free and it is not liberal but we are the state who's government now believes that the state is only responsible for defending itself and everything else is privitized with each citizen required to defend his/her (freedom) and though "trickle-down economics everyone will fall up or down to their ability and will survive as they can afford to... So everything will be privatized and owned by ??? Banks(credit contolled by banks already)and corporations that provides every thing for people to buy...If you can afford to go to school then there is a charter school and if you have a job then you can take care of your own healthcare(there are plenty of insurance plans that may cover you for a profit) and if you can work and make more than enough money for food,clothing and a place to live, and a car to drive, then you can find a way to save for your retirement at whatever age you can afford to quit working(if you can live so long)...This may be your future so think about it. Oh yes a famous dictatorship was in Chile after 1973 when a popular president was bombed in his palace and a General(Pinochet) took over the country...He was a dictator and one of many in Latin America. Pinochet was a man who stayed in power by killing and torturing anyone who didn't agree with his ideas of "democracy" so Chileans were murdered by secret death squads and many journalists were murdered and union leaders...but on the bright side this dictator recieved aid and support from the USA..because there was a constitution very much like ours with a few important exceptions. So the good thing about dictatorships would be that the funding and aid goes to the wealthy and they decide who can get the jobs and schooling...If you don't care about who has what and you have a job and a TV to watch or video games to play then you can be happy....That is because poor people and unhappy people "disappear." so you will never see them...

There are only cons to fascism as far as ordinary citizens are concerned.

In a dictatorship, you would have to delete only one person to make a radical change in a country. In a democracy, to make things change you have to get rid of a big bunch of morons. Tougher to do.
