I like the ideals of Communism, fully achieved Communism, not the guy on top who looks down upon his fellow people.

Sure, communism is a good idea on paper. It's horrible in practice, because it never works out the way it's supposed to. In that, Karl Marx was just another idealist like me.

If someone could get it to work and be uncorrupted then it would be good.

So could fascism. You know, they're not so different, and both involve the improvement of the whole by the diminishing of the individual.

And that's why I have to be realistic and want my freedoms protected, since without them, people will become corrupt and take power and ruin fascism's name. Mussolini wasn't a bad ruler until he got caught up with WWII. He had a very high approval rating and the economy swelled under his rule.

Its like with democracy, people abuse thier freedom, and with fascism, the leaders abuse their power. Its like nothing works, or doesn't work like it should.

I think it's because of the Nazis that I don't like Fascism. I know they corrupted it but I am a Gypsy and so it kinda killed it for me.
