(1) Fascism/Nazism are capitalism just as a rabbit is a mammal. They are just two of a so-far probably incomplete list of the *political* forms which a capitalist mode of production can generate.
(2) Coming from someone who has seen marxists quarreling with each other, sometimes bitterly, on this an other lists, the reference to orthodox marxism in this content is just plain stupid.
(3) And the post's playing around (and acceding to) the word game ("National Socialism") the Nazis played is simply offensive and Alex should apologize to every socialism (marxist or not) from Babeuf on for being such a sucker for Hitler's word coinage.
