"Communism is first and last a political ideology, Capitalism is commercial and non-political. Totalitarianism is anathema to Capitalism as totalitarian regimes whether Fascist or Communist tend to rely heavily on central control of things. For capitalism to flourish it requires de-regulation to allow entrepreneurial flair to challenge the status quo."

Fascist governments such as in Italy under Moussalini (sp?) were capitalist in that the system was a corporatocracy. Even in Nazi Germany, Krupp industries and I.B. Farben dominated the market with their manufacturing of ovens.

De-regulation in the US has become a means by which huge corporations control the market. Small businesses do not survive in this environment because they are not competitive to Walmarts etc. Certainly we see this in agribusiness with the demise of the family farm. The Chinese government at the present time is a Communist regime with a controlled capitalism which seems to be working for them. They own a large percentage of the debt of the US.
