Of course, 2 idiots hating each other because each of them want the power to
enslave the people.
There is NO difference between the finality in communism and fascism. They
both lead to the same end: A plutocracy where a small oligarchy run as
tyrant over the enslaved people.
The difference between the communism and fascism it is only the path taken
to achieve the same finality. And the path taken is the one which select
how are the future plutocrats selected. So, if one fascist want to be the
leader of course he will hate his competition, the communist who dream of
the same job. "Free market" competition at work :-)
The opposite to plutocracy (communism, fascism/libertarianism) it is the
social-democracy.

Capitalism is: Man exploiting man. Socialism is the other way around.

It is always popular to blame a system rather than human nature. Such is
denial.
A reading of "Animal Farm" is in order.....

Of course you have to blame the system.
It is the system what allows the bad side of the human nature to prosper.
And when this happen, the system need to be reformed to reduce the damages
and amplify the good parts.

P.S.:
When I say "democratic", I use the word democratic coming from democracy not
from Democratic party. I am not connected in any way with Democratic party
and if they fail to do as promised and cut corporate corruption I have no
problem to turn on them and blog against them too.

Obviously Eiffel Tower is higher :-)
Eiffel Tower it is higher than the median man made building, while a 440 Hz
sound it is lower than the median man made sound. So easy riddle :-)

Humans developing systems that enforce morality on humans. Sounds like a
viscous circle to me.
Do you have historical precedence?

Correct. This is the reason why it is idiotic to oppose the change and
defend a status-quo. ANY status-quo. This is the reason why conservatism it
is such a humongous mistake.
Chances are that every implemented system will have some flaws, due to human
nature. Some of the flaws can be tolerated some not. As a mentally sane
society it make all the sense in the world to tinker with the system to
make it better based on the present situation and the best estimate of the
future. First, to eliminate the biggest problems.
However, due to the huge complexity of the system it is unlikely to ever
exist a silver-bullet solution which solve all the issues and do not
introduce others.

I'm not defending the status-quo. But I'm not going to pretend that the
'other party' isn't more of the same.

Gee, the only ones tinkering are insiders. We have no say. Have you ever
voted on a national law? You do understand that there are no democracies
in the world?
