Socialistic slavery lie 5: Socialism is completely different from fascism.

We've counted more than 50 ways the left is like the National Socialists. But mentioning this is the Lord Voldemort of political discourse, but it hasn't always been this way.

As noted in the video, it was at least understood during the 1920s and 1930s, that while these two collectivist ideologies weren't exactly the same, they had a lot in common.

For example, in 1927, the American Federation of Labor Denounced both the reds and the fascists and stood in opposition to both, as standing for autocracy, likening fascism to communism.

To the point that they used to say: Why is National Socialist Germany like a beefsteak? Answer: Because it is brown outside and red inside. And the common phrasing referred to the brown Bolshevism of the Third Reich, and the Red fascism of the U.S.S.R.

The April 1939 issue of The Atlantic had a long dissertation on Brown Bolshevism, emphasizing the point.

After WWII, it strangely became controversial to make these comparisons. Academic papers on red fascism and brown Bolshevism from the 1970s studied many of the newspapers of the pre-WWII time period, noting many common traits between the two, engendering quite a controversy in doing so.

The left has always perpetrated this false dichotomy because they want to pretend the conflict is between socialism and 'dascism' instead of the true comparison of socialistic slavery and economic freedom – for obvious reasons.
