    Socialism is a term which describes several more/less centrally planned authoritarian/totalitarian collectivist ideologies etc.

    And what can government give everyone?
    What oppurtunities, they limit the oppurtunities, in order for their plan to work, it`s an illusion.

    Agree!

    Facism/socialism are fractions amongst the people who want a centrally planned authoritarian/totalitarian collectivist society, i.e. a government they can use to enrich themselves at the expense of others. Corporatism is what you get when aforementioned people decide to share the power/wealth.

    No, not just corporations, it includes every special interest group in society, that is to say that every group can enrich themselves at the expense of others with the aid of the government, which has the right and the monopoly on inititiating violence/extortion/coercion etc.

    Political compass put the communists/socialists/fascists etc in the authoritarian camp, and the anarhists/minarchist/laissez-faire capitalists etc in the libertarian camp.

    I thought it was the other way around, i.e. the liberals/leftists/collectivists/proponents of central planning has an abstract theory on how society should be organized, regardless of what/how the individuals think/function/need etc.
