Capitalism and the free market benefited Autistics necause of competition. Nazis were not Fascist they were actually their own ideology known as National Socialism.

this aspie does NOT deal well with competition. I get shoved off to the side along with all the other defective toy santas. :santa:

Agreed. Especially since you aren't competting on something objective (such as SAT scores) but rather on something subjective, such as who likes you better. In the communism they were telling people to like each other based on higher ideals. But in capitalism it is perfectly fine not to like someone because that person "isn't cool enough". Thats why I feel like my problems due to "not being cool" would have been a lot less relevant under communism.

Also, I think communism might benefit aspies in the following way: One aspect of Soviet Union is that when someone did something wrong, instead of avoiding that person (American way) they would publically tell them off (Soviet way). Well, as an Aspie, I want to be told what the expectations are. So it seems like I would have done better those days.

I don't think communism will ever benefit Autistics because for example look at North Korea and Cuba everything is outdated and obsolete there and communism failed every time it's been tried. I like an economic system where it is a combination of Anglo Saxon model of capitalism which has strong private property rights and low regulation with a system where syndicates of employers and employees work with the community and the government to benefit the good of all.

Outdated is not such a bad thing: it might mean less to keep up with. For example I haven't leanred to drive, and back in the soviet union a lot of people didn't drive. I haven't leanred computer tools such as powerpoint, and back in good old days most people didn't use those tools either. Thats actually one of the main things I miss about the old soviet union. I would be behind if I were to go back in time to those days.

In 1934 to 1935, he advertised that he was a "supplier for National Socialist uniforms since 1924" <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Boss>.

In either system I would die a proud rebel's death.

Fascist
Tend to have uprisings under the surface, and even if not they still have the potential for a power turnover. Basically it looks worse so I could take advantage of it.

Markets alienate people from their our own labor. (Circumstances in market economies, to a great extant, force people perform work they aren't passionate about)

Markets are unsustainable. (Production for market exchange disregards the health and well being of our planets ecosystems)

Markets get in the way of actual, free and open forms of exchange. (new discoveries are encouraged to be kept as secrets, the free flow of information is hindered, many technological possibilities get halted as a result)



On the question of fascism -fascism at it's core worships empire. I'm not in favor of empire.
