Fascism was Mussolini's form of government. Hitler was a National
Socialist. They're different.
It's a rewrite of history to make them the same.
Stalin was a Communist, though a bit different than his predecessor
Lenin. Stalin was clearly far
more a totalitarian and starved to death 20 million of his own
people. Mao was also a Communist,
again different somewhat than Stalin and Lenin. He, his wife, and
the other two members of the
"Gang of Four" were responsible for the deaths of an estimated 10 to
30 million in the
"Cultural Revolution" of the 1960s.
Communism and socialism both take many forms. The socialism of
France and Germany is clearly
different than the old USSR's Communist socialism, even though they
may share a common
philosophical heritage.
