What in the world does this mean??

socialismcommunismfacismcapitalism............................

 

So much about "socialism"" is in the news. 

I am a child of the 50s, who grew up hearing that word along with other monikers.

There is no way on God's green earth, no matter how intelligent, I am. that or could examine the definitions and differences of socialism, capitalism, fascism, and communism. At least in my humble opinion that would be the case.   

Please oh please check this or other non-partisan sites:

Economic forum of the world

Here are some bullet points: 

Fascism: A political ideology that is characterized by extreme nationalism, dictatorship, and a focus on the power of the state over the individual. 

Socialism: A political and economic ideology that advocates for collective ownership of the means of production and distribution of goods and services 

Communism: A political and economic ideology that aims to create a classless society by eliminating private ownership of property and the means of production.

Capitalism: An economic system based on private ownership of the means of production and the creation of goods and services for profit. 

Well, then...who or what represents these different world views?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 If none of these make sense, just go to a school playground and you will see these belief systems play out vividly.

I have seen this close up and personal, on the playground.
