Neither.

Thats like asking if you like the toilet half-empty or half-full.
 
Seriously, the answer is neither.

I tried considering your question as an intellectual exercise, but either possibility is soul-sucking. I would probably die trying to escape either situation.
 
Well assuming that the world was divided between the two powers alone, and there was nowhere else to go.....

Fascist, and do what I can to endear myself/become a part of the power structure.

I'm sure Agnapostate will be in shortly to make a long winded post about how communists can't have regimes.

If no other country had a different, better type of government then I would rebel. Just as our FF did.

I'm more anxious to see what Korimyr(sp?) has to say about this. I haven't seen him around lately, though.
 
As a proud half-Cuban I could only get myself to vote for the option opposing communism.
 
You would have to be more specific. There is quite a bit of variance in the implementation of such systems. I'd pick fascist Spain over Khemer Rogue any day of the week. I'd also pick Cuba over Nazi Germany.

If I had to have one, I'd go with Fascism, i think it would be easier to alter in short order than Communism.

Neither is a prize though.

A better question would be I think, a choice between Absolute Monarchy ("I am the State,") and Communism ("from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs,") the two being further apart than Fascism and Communism.
 
You may as well ask this : Death by poison or by a bullet ?
Neither, of course, would be the response from most sane men..
Repression is the true problem. Communism without the force of repression is not necessarily bad, but not good either, and probably impossible.
Facism is bad, no matter how one looks at it.
 
Fascist, by all means. Unless they're "National Socialists" (and even that might not fool people for long), they won't be able to delude the rank-and-file through pretensions of socialism because of their elitist hierarchy. That will inspire violent insurrection, at which point their leaders can endure the same fate as Il Duce.
 
You have to be very ignorant to believe there's any substantive difference between the two.
 
In communist states influence isn't measured in money so much, but the oligarchy can be just as bad as in a fascist state or even worse.
 
A fascist regime would fall faster than a communist regime, so I'll have to go with fascist.
 
communism would be much better because atleast everyone would be equal

oh there is. under communism everyone is treated badly, but under fascism a select few are treated fine and the majority is treated brutally.
 
What's the differance? I have to do what the government says in almost all facets of life or I get shot. In practical terms, there's no real differance when they're implemented.
 
Who were the "good guys" in Enemy at the Gates? The Stalinists or the Nazis?
