But fascism is like a strict form of communism except it is without the pretense that everything is owned by -- or done for the good of -- the people. It's a strict dictatorship, and you are PWNED! 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

One of the crazier propeller gearing systems ever, and it was running the 37mm cannon though the hub, a pair of .50s in the nose, and a pair of .50s in underwing bumps.Major Maxillary wrote:i like the P39 myself.RavenxDrake wrote:Heh...

most heavily armed fighter in the war with a 37mm cannon, and i belive two(or four) .50s in the nose.
it's emgine was behind the cockpit and the drive shafe went right between the pilot's legs.
the soviets used them to bust tanks.
p.s. i am aware that the Sturmovik had two 37mm cannons, but that was a ground support plane, not a fighter.
No, fascism is certainly right wing... it's just off the deep end right wing. It's similar to how communism is off the deep end left wing. The funny thing is, the whole thing becomes circular... as you say yourself fascism and communism have many similarities. Go far enough into communism and you'll end up a fascist, which in many ways Stalin was, though he used communist and socialist lingo. Likewise, the Nazis called themselves socialists. In the end, it amounts to "I know better than you, so I'm going to run the whole show, and remove your voice from the process completely." Regardless of which wing of the political spectrum you started on, eventually that's going to lead to Russian communism, german Fascism, South Eastern Desopotism, or something similar, and it's no good for anyone (and neither left wingers or right wingers will approve... I'm a liberal with socialist tendancies but I know damn well how bad Russian communism was).cuteswan wrote:No, facism is based on an Old English contraction for bukkake.swordsman3003 wrote:You do realize Facism is ultra-right wing?
To call it "right wing" (or "conservative") because it usually has a strong nationalist aspect is like saying all left-wingers are child rapists because the Liberal organization ACLU fiercely defends NAMBLA's right to publish books on how to dispose of boys' bodies after raping them. Neither is a fair characterization, IMO.
Except that the right wing, at least in the US, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Central America, South America and at least a couple other places meets all the definitions of fascism. From suppression of organized labor, business-government partnership, mystical glorification of the military on down the National Front, the new Republican Party and the rest really do preach it.cuteswan wrote:fascism is like a strict form of communism except it is without the pretense that everything is owned by -- or done for the good of -- the people.

And yet you go on to agree with me, at least in principle (circular and all that). Well, that's the Internet for ya'.JaronK wrote:No, fascism is certainly right wing...
Well, I would argue that what's considered "right wing" or "conservative" in the former Soviet Union is vastly different from what they mean in the U.S. Also, when it comes to oppression, "thought control," speech codes, media manipulation, etc. it can reasonably be argued that the American right has nothing on the left. Of course, if we do that here then it will stop being fun and we won't see any more airplane-tans.tellner wrote: Except that the right wing, at least in the US, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Central America, South America and at least a couple other places meets all the definitions of fascism.
