Herr h was not a communist but a fascist; obverse and reverse, IMHO. The only difference is the allegation of who is in charge. In communism as actually engaged in in the 20th century (and its derogated socialistic forms) alleged the people; fascism, the state, particularly the LEADER. In practice, not much separated them ... except the numbers of people killed in the name of the government.
