To paraphrase Mr. Dunn, my favorite high school teacher ...
Under capitalism, you milk your cow, sell the milk and keep the profits. Under socialism, you milk your cow, keep some of the profits for yourself and share some of the profits with your government/countrymen. Under communism, you care for the people’s cow, keep some of the milk for yourself and turn the rest over to the government who distributes as deemed appropriate. Under fascism, you care for a cow that is owned by a consortium of government/corporate interests and turn all the milk over to government agents for distribution. Under Nazism, government agents shoot you and take the cow. _

Dictators usually get rid of opposition to themselves or they are gotten rid of themselves. Julius Caesar is the prime example of what hapens when you show "clemency" to your opponents. Augustus did not make the same mistake, where all his opposition up to Mark Anthony and Cleo were gotten rid of. Once he achieved unchallenged power he was magmanamus, where very few people were disappeared. As the OWNER of his own enterprise, Trump's style is authoritarian..he has HAD THROUGH OUT HIS LIFE no one to answer to except himself in making his decisions. He hires and fires at will...you work for him at his pleasure "YOU ARE FIRED." However Trump is socially inculcated in a Republican form of government, where it would be an aberration for him to think differently. This Authoritarian trait does not in of itself make Trump the SATAN the Progressive make him out to be.

Fascism, kill you-take your stuff
Socialism, take your stuff-then kill you.
