i’d say that fascism is one form of dictatorship, whereas Marxism requires a transition phase of a temporary dictatorship of the proletariat… which then becomes permanent because temporary dictators don’t tend to just quit being dictators.
they’re usually fascist in the way they hunt and exterminate any western educated people and such… but then it just goes to brutal authoritarian dictatorships…
yeah i guess not terribly different.
