Communism killed more people than fascism. That's a fact, regardless of "free" education/healthcare (technically no such thing).
Noone has to chose between the two anyways, and anyone who says you do is retarded. ****** despised liberalism just as much as he did marxism, so there are other political ideologies out there than communism and fascism, which despite their differences, are not opposite to each other as they also have alot in common. Anyone who creates a false alternative between fascism and communism to win people over to one or the other loses my respect, as noone has to chose between the two.
The United States and western ideology is rooted in classical liberalism, not fascism, anyone who suggests that western society even so much as resembles nazi Germany is a complete retard, or just a propagandist, nazi Germany, when you study the roots of its worldview is so different from what we call the west that it is fairer not to speak of different worlds, but of different universes. To quote Louis Pauwels, the west has more in common with an Amazonian tribe than with nazi Germany (not the exact quote but you get the point).
Classical liberalism, fascism, and marxism are three very different ideologies, and only the adherents of the latter seem to confuse the first two, not realizing the first two probably have less in common with one another than they (marxists) do with fascism.
The main difference between authoritarianism on the "left" vs authoritarianism on the "right", was that the former killed alot more people than the latter. I'd be willing to bet the so called "free education" of the USSR and Maoist China was not education at all, if it was people would have been more critical of the system they were being brought up in, as the role of education is to teach critical thinking skills. It wasn't free either, nothing is, just that someone else was paying for it.
