In practice, this is wrong.

Fascism = in practice Communism

Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and the other great Commies of the 20th century were fascists. Especially by your standards of nationalism and readiness to go to war. F.A. Hayek said that "Socialism can be cut of any wood. A socialist can go through stages of fascism, theoretical communism, democratic socialism, etc".


This Machine kills Fascists.


I've become a big Woody Guthrie fan of late, especially the redo of his songs by Billy Bragg and Wilco in Mermaid Avenue.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
