Not even. Communism, at least, has the means of production being seized for all of society. This will just be for Trump's benefit. We are truly just in a dictatorship.

Yes in communism the workers would receive the shares not the government. No one does communism right

“ELI5” for you: USSR, the gov claimed to represent the ppl, and took ownership of the means of production. Now under Trump, US is heading down same path. I find that funny.

You have the USSR confused with fascist Italy

Fascism doesn’t have any uniform economic approach. Fascists do, however, tend to support private ownership. Common / government ownership of means of production is a core tenant of Communism. Trump’s actions are also similar to Xi, who claims to be communist. Horseshoe theory again?

I specifically said fascist Italy. If you'd rather ignore that to prioritize being anticommunist instead.

I replied on fascism as a whole. Government ownership of corporations wasn’t an Italian fascist ideology either.

If you think Trump's administration isn't corporate owned you're not paying attention.

Yeah, it does have common economic characteristics. The mode of production is NOT worker controlled with state-owned enterprises if capitalists control the state. And imperialism is also always found in fascism. I think you're 1) ignorant, 2) disingenuous, or 3) a bot.

“Not worker controlled” isn’t unique to fascism. Imperialism is ideologically agnostic. USSR was one of the worst imperialists! And has never been decolonized. Norwegian side of me is skeptical to all ideologies. They’re belief systems. Like religions. No place in government.

I’m looking forward to hearing another American take on “the ideology of Norway” - and of course you’ll understand Norway much better than we Norwegians do. So please educate me.

No, collectivized production controlled by a proletarian state is called socialism.

If you want to really get nerdy about it then leaders of the Soviet Union did not consider the SU to be Communist but a transitional economy working towards communism

Yeah, weird how the Communist Party had 100% control for 70 years, but they just couldn’t achieve that utopian transition from socialism to communism…

And I personally learned far too recently that communism itself is only the description of a pursuit, not a destination. Getting through this Cold War fog has taken a while.
