    Other, emperialism.

    edit, did I just say that? Emperialism brought a lot of good as well.

    But never in my favour

    Fascism. At the very least, Communism and Capitalism had honorable intentions. Fascism is purely up from the very start; nothing good will ever come from it.

    Fascism. Communism at least had good intentions.
    Nihil nobis metuendum est, praeter metum ipsum. - Caesar
    We have not to fear anything, except fear itself.



    Ibant obscuri sola sub nocte per umbram
    perque domos Ditis vacuas et inania regna:
    quale per incertam lunam sub luce maligna
    est iter in silvis, ubi caelum condidit umbra
    Iuppiter, et rebus nox abstulit atra colorem.
    - Vergil

    What do you mean nothing good will ever come of it? It's a practical idea that does more for the economy and the citizens of the nation than capitalism. Fascism had excellent intentions - to revitalize the country. Communism had the intention to steal from people who had made money.

    Which sounds better to you?

    EDIT: Better question. Which worked better?

    Just what I needed after a long reading session!

    From wiki
    Fascists promote a type of national unity that is usually based on (but not limited to) ethnic, cultural, national, racial, and/or religious attributes. Various scholars attribute different characteristics to fascism, but the following elements are usually seen as its integral parts: patriotism, nationalism, statism, militarism, totalitarianism, anti-communism, economic planning (including corporatism and autarky), populism, collectivism, autocracy and anti-liberalism (i.e., opposition to political and economic liberalism)

    Yes that sounds alot worse than communism to me!
    In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!
