It's true, fascism borrows certain practices from socialism, but as I stated before, it is a matter of intent and money-flow. These programs were designed and operated to serve the interest of the state and of the corporations which funded them, to provide them with a steady supply of indoctrinated loyalists.

True socialism is more cyclical in nature. Rather than having programs funded and designed to serve the government's corporate sponsors, they are funded by the citizenry itself for the sake of its own benefit.

I am not lauding either, as they both have their faults. I'm just trying to elucidate the differences between the two.
