I agree, fascism is capitalism in crisis. Capitalism is always cruel as imperialism in the global south, but I'd say fascism is the most mask off form. Ultimately, capitalism is the root of the issue. The meme wasn't contradicting that

And no, it's not AI :)

For example Nazi full name is National Socialism, it’s in the name.

In case of fascists in Italy, their entire name came from fascio - which means bundle of sticks - their entire thing is about collectivisation and making individual to work for the greater whole. Just like communism.

Cool etymology fact, doesn't make fascism socialist.

In practice Communism killed (by extermination and starvation) as many people as Nazism

I'm not even a Marxist and I can tell you that's bullshit. The black book of communism included the death of Nazi soldiers, the HYPOTHETICAL deaths of unborn children due to declined birth rates, and much more bullshit. Ffs, even the coauthors denounced that book later on.

while Fascism in Italy was pretty tame in comparison

jesus fucking christ

???? Elaborate. How is fascism socialist and how is communism worse than fascism?

I added that in the body :) unless you explicitly differentiated from imperialism and colonialism, if so

How I understand it, imperialism is a general term describing a nation ruling over another, controlling the politics, the economy, the military, the media, etc; through either soft power, or hard power.

Colonialism is occupying the land, and with the same outcome as above. Imperialism is a general concept, colonialism is one of the means of imperialism, since you don't always need explicit colonialism to be imperialist. I hope I got that right lol

i wonder whether it is an accident that "spaceships" are called after ships

ship (plural ships)

  1. (nautical) A water-borne vessel generally larger than a boat.

  2. (chiefly in combination) A vessel which travels through any medium other than across land, such as an airship or spaceship.

Spaceship is a portmantau of space and ship, so nope :)
