Capitalism is when individual citizens own and control factories and farms. Communism is when the government owns all of the farms and factories. Both of those economic systems can operate on a fascist architecture. Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box and mix and match these things. For example you can take a little bit of Socialism, a bit of capitalism, little bit of nationalism add some fascism, borrow the centralized command and control method from the communists, then work in a Fiat currency and all of a sudden you are Literally Hitler. edt; If you cannot separate economic theory from political theory you are not going to have a good time.
