"I believe it was Chicago John who defined socialism as "I believe in this, therefore, you must do it too". I think that would be a better description of fascism. Remember that socialism is an economic system and not political."

Maybe I can help out here by clearing up what I mean. When the public defines how I spend my money on other people (though taxes) they are dictating my behaviour.

An economic system and a political system are entertwined in a system where it's possible for people to make their own paycheck.

"You can be a democratic socialist or a fascist capitalist."

How can someone be a facist capitalist? Give me an example of how this works.
