To me it only seems that their is a lack of reflection among socialists to acknowledge the utter failures of communism everywhere and every time it has been preached. I believe most conservatives acknowledge the failures of facsism. I'm not comparing the specific details which differentiate the two ideologies, I'm comparing the traits which make them strikingly similar - the authoritarianism. Whether a commie or a fascist, it is the support of the use of state force to compel others into ones ideology that is the awful trait shared between the two camps.
