Socialism is the outright ownership of the means of production by government. The name for the system under which nominal private ownership of productive enterprises, under the actual control of government, is ‘fascism’.
My copy of Webster’s Dictionary, 1968, defines fascism as: a system of government characterized by rigid one-party dictatorship, forcible suppression of the opposition, the retention of private ownership of the means of production UNDER CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT CONTROL. You know run big corporations, raise energy prices, and manage healthcare. The EPA will manage carbon (climate change), Commerce will manage food production (safety) and Name-that-Bureau will manage the rest and nanny us to death. Reminds me of the good old days during Roosevelt’s Office of Price Stabilization. Thank God I still have my WWII ration books, my Dad said they’d come in handy some day.
Seamus. I just kept the gas coupons. I grow my own food, which means I don’t need the milk and meat coupons.
I don’t think Websters is correct. By ’68, the Socialist drive to control speech was pretty much underway. Dictionaries were the first targets. Don’t trust ANY dictionary printed after 1960 or so.
Now days it is history that is under attack. I have several offline sources that say Fascism was invented by Mussolini after he lost control of the Italian Socialist party. Online searches (Wikipedia especially) turn up a different story. He wanted to use the socialist party as a stepping stone to dictatorship. So did the guy that beat him out as party chairman. So Mussolini created his own version of a Socialist Party and called it Fascism. The story by Dupry is that he named the new party after the weapon carried by the bodyguards of Roman magistrates;

My oldest set of encyclopedias is an American Peoples from 1952 I got for my 10th birthday.
It says;
“It’s political philosophy was the afterthought of a group of Italian adventurers whose sole objective was power to be attained without regard to principal or to the moral law”
That is a snip of course. In ’52 the memory of a war against Fascisim that cost between 100 and 300 million human lives was still fresh, the article is about 15,000 words or so.
Anyway, the only real philosophy of Fascism is power. By any means with no regard for legal or moral restrictions. Remind you of anybody we know?
Socialism is defined as State control of Supply and Demand
with private ownership of production and distribution.
Communism the State (Party) owns and controls every thing.
Capitalism is where all Property is private and the Market dictates supply and demand.
I don’t think there are any governments that are ‘pure’ in any respect. All governments today have a blend of State and Private ownership and Market/Government control.
