it's all a bit crazy especially in the northeastern regions these days, and it isn't as cool as it used to be, EU has contaminated the place, like, it's reverting to the bad parts of soviet days

that reminds me

fascism centers around councils, or "junta" and the russian word for council is "soviet" or "savet" in southern slavic languages, they are the same word but they pronounce them differently based on phonetics, best i can figure out (in russian o is a, and e is ye)

Fascism and communism are basically the same thing. The ideological difference is only the scope - they were literally the same movement before the first communist congress, in which two divides occurred - the anarchists broke off and became their own thing ; and socialism roughly split into national socialism vs international socialism.

Further differences developed, like the appeal of fascism as a reaction to "bohemianism" - that was the actors and rich people of 100 years ago promoting gay, pedo, and drugs. That's how Bavaria ended up in Germany - Nazism was appealing because they promoted themselves as opposed to communism. Communism was spreading via bohemianism, which is international socialism. But that opposition didn't change the fact that they were the same movement, just using different tactics.

Which, super simplified, is just the next iteration of legislatures ruling the country. Councils replacing markets, always trying to solve the problems it creates by making the council bigger and more encompassing.

ultimately it's all just a cloak for the ruling class to hide under, in any case, the more patsies the better

Yep.

Another interesting bit is that international socialism appears to have had a lot of Jewish leaders. So that might explain some things...

This is not an anti-Jewish note. Just a passive observation.

it's true, but focusing on that was a very specifically austrian/german socialism criticism, and quite notable in that after the war asking any questions about teh history became a heresy in almost all mainstream culture

and in concert with pointing out that the nazis killed a lot of other people than jews (they hated gypsies and asians and gays and artists) the regime of Stalin also was pretty heavy going against jews, the Pogroms of Ukraine and Poland and those regions heavily focused on exterminating jews, and as you point out about the anarchist branch, they really aren't socialists, but rose out of similar circumstances, all across the world...

Eric Blair aka George Orwell originally was inducted into socialism but fell into contact with spanish anarchists who opened his eyes to some things and gave us the famous books (animal farm and nineteen eighty four) that are both allegories of what socialism actually is.

it's the thing that irritates me the most about "right wing" people is that they, and all the left wing of the "counterculture" types don't even realise that none of this is about races, or political stripes, it's just about covering up the existence of the ruling class, and creating an illusion that what happens was the choice of the people

it may well be there is numerous genetic lines, of which some are labeled "jewish" but it goes back way further than merely 2500 years ago in the middle east... in actual fact it goes back over 12000 years, but anyway

Its all narrative, and the narrative serves the purpose of transferring power from average Joes to... Not average Joes... That analogy broke down. In China, the story of communism is presented as virtuous, like the story of the American Revolution. People believe it enough to not be a threat to power. And people here are passionate about the Revolution and Washington etc, but it doesn't change the fact that we're taxed and nothing we say can stop whatever war is slated to happen next.
