Theoretically, you can make those arguements. Reality is something very different.

In both Fascism and Socialism, the bottom line is that the govt is in control in both systems.

In Fascism, the economy is jointly managed by employers, workers, and the govt, but in reality it is the govt that holds the overriding power. Fascist govts control private property but do not nationalize property (at least not all property, some key industries do get nationalized).

Socialism in theory allows the people to own and manage property, but in reality selected committees (i.e., the govt) makes the decisions and runs the economy. Thats the reality, rule by a committee of 300 million is impossible.

Fascism eliminates unions. SO does Socialism. In all socialist/communist countries, unions have either been outright banned or taken over the govt. Centralized govt's cannot and will not permit opposition.

You are clearly unaware of teapers attitudes. Leave the tower, and meet some real people.
