The political spectrum is made up. The polar ends and the exact same thing (mostly).

The political spectrum is such:

Far left is Communism, for right is Fascism. A little left is liberal and a little right is conservative. I learnt this is grade 10 (Ontario).

In reality Communism and Fascism is the same thing. If ANYONE criticizes the government in both systems the punishment will be the same.

I know the parties are fake, but most peoples’ reasoning behind policies is extremely flawed.

Any increase in government power is moving toward fascism/communism and any movement towards restricting government power is moving towards the lack of government.

The conspiracy is that the government wants more power and uses the fake political spectrum to gain support because it doesn’t state all your choices.

An increase in government power is a move towards totalitarianism which is part of fascism by definition and communism in practice.

But fascism and communism are not the same despite some shared characteristics.

People today like to redefine things and this causes confusion, things lose meaning, things lose importance, and it allows certain things to flourish. You are clearly playing that game.

Communism and fascism is the same thing. Sure ideally communism is the opposite but it never was in practice so it’s the same

Ice cream and frozen Yogurt are both cold, creamy, and eaten with a spoon, but they're not the same thing.

Things can share characteristics and not be the same thing. Humans and chimpanzees, at the genetic level, are 98% the same. Even a 2% difference can sometimes be a huge difference. Christianity and Islam worship the same God, and share many of the same prophets, share a number of the same stories. Does that make Mike Pence a Muslim?

You haven’t disproven my point. If you kill mike pence or a Muslim, you still killed a person.

Then everything is everything and there's no point in words to describe, categorize, qualify, or delineate things.

Rape is the same as tax evasion. Dogs are cats. A house is a Buick Skylark.

Red vs Blue. The flag of Phoenicia.

Purple. The color of the elite. The elite color named Tyrian Purple since thousands of years, again, coming from the elite Phoenicians.

Understand what we are dealing with here. Ancient God hating bloodlines.

You have authoritarian capitalism on the far right, you have social capitalism on the far left, then you have neo Libs in the middle.

In reality Communism and Fascism is the same thing

My apologies, but this is just completely false. The assertion is baffling and no doubt a direct result of elitist political propaganda in mainstream American news.

Fascism is a system of strict authoritarian hierarchy with a centralised leadership and an all powerful government.

Communism is a stateless society with no hierarchy and in which everybody contributes equally according to his or her own means.

The confusion lies in the fact that, as a prerequisite to achieving communism, there is the problem of how to undo the mechanisms of capitalism and redistribute economic wealth. Obviously, that's going to result in a lot of unhappy capitalists, so the (Marxist) theory is that the state should intervene temporarily in order to organise the transition. This stage is more commonly known as socialism. There has never been a communist society because no state in history has ever moved past socialism. It is at this stage that we have traditionally seen the emergence of state control and the similarities to fascism.

The problem is that Marxism itself unfortunately appears to contain an inherent self-contradiction. On the one hand, Marx viewed the state as a mere extension of the dominant capitalist class, protecting only those particular interests. While on the other, he advocated dependence on the state to organise the transition to communism.
