Socialism is a method of governing where the government controls goods and resources and decides for the people who needs what and everyone will work for the good of the people as oppsoed for their own wants/needs. It's unrealistic as it discounts human nature (hence why the Soviet Union failed and China is becoming capitalist) Fascisim is a method of governing that implies total government control and oppression of all dissenting opinions Capitalism is a method where individuals and companies control the distribution of goods and market forces. It drives competition and innovation as people act on the basic human nature Communism is a philosophy that all socio-economic structures will eventually evolve to the point where all people are equal and will provide for each other based on needs and not on greed or a desire for power. As the communes of the 60's prove this is an impossible ideal as it's totally contrary to human nature. So neither of you are right - the Nazi's were socialists just like the Russians - The Nazi's didn't attack them because of ideological differences, the Nazi's attacked them because they wanted to be in charge. The Nazi's were also fascists but so were the Russians (to enforce a Socialist society you pretty much have to be fascist). Despite what a lot of liberals in the US will tell you the US is not fascist yet and neither are the Republicans... a fascist government would supress freedom of speech (like the fairness doctrine will do). No country is 100% capitalist. If you count the black market, no country is 100% socialist either. There has never been a true Communist country.... countries call themselves by what their "ideal" government would be. That's why socialist China and Russia call themselves Communist while the U.S. calls themselves a capitalist democracy (we're actually a semi-Socialist Republic). As most major countries are realizing it takes a mixture of all factors to properly govern and last.

Answer 4

There is no short answer to this. The theoretical opposite, as is on the political compass, is anarchy.

Anarchy is total individuality with no government.
Communism is collectivism with big cental government.

Many people misunderstand what capitalism is. Big corporations and banks with a ruling elite that get bailed out by govt is NOT capitalism. This is called corporatism, or crony capitalism. It's collective by nature and therefore; left/socialist.

Individually owned business that operates without any govt support or intervention is capitalism.


'The individual should serve the state' = Left/Socialist/Communist/Marxist etc
'The state should serve the individual' = Right/Conservative/Capitalist/Libertarian etc

Answer 5

Unfettered capitalism

Communism, socialism and capitalism are economic models and can exist in monarchies, dictatorships, totalitarian, fascism, theocracies, and democracies. Albeit, communism and socialism has more in common with totalitarian, dictatorships and fascists.

There are a lot more examples of government types, those are the top few.

===========
Communism, socialism, and capitalism does not mean freedom. Pure forms of all three are anything but freedom for the people. Communism reduces people to worker ants, socialism puts all manufacturing and services in the hands of the state, capitalism puts all manufacturing and services in the hands of the elite.

I believe, controlled capitalism for unneeded services and socialism for needed services is the best of all worlds. Uncontrolled capitalism is as repressive to the people as a dictatorship or fascism. The reason is simple, people are greedy by human nature.

With the exception of Universal Health Care in this country, needed services are socialistic. Albeit, we do have Universal health care in this country for our federal leaders and military. The federal leaders get the best of Universal health care, the military is underfunded.

Another tid bit to ponder, we provide universal health care to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Answer 7

Well a commune is a group of people joining together to share everything they have. So the opposite would be Individuality. Socialism is when the government steps in to take care of all its people. So my answer again appears to be Individuals taking care of themselves.

Answer 8

I admit the opposite of liberalism, socialism, and
communism is Americanism and freedom.

Answer 9

Capitalism

Answer 10
