Income is value; and risk does not produce value. Labor produces value. Workers risk
their time and their education; but, they do what proprietors do not do -- workers produce
value by their labors. The money employers risk represents value created by labor, not
necessarily and not usually the employer's labor. Employers hire employees to produce
value. That's what capitalism is all about. Being an employer is not as productive as
being an employee, if it can be granted that being an employer is in any sense a productive
activity.
Authoritarian fascism is not authentic socialism. Fascism is dictatorship combined with
a very strong sense of community; socialism is democracy combined with a very strong
sense of community. Fascism is very much like state-socialism, or authoritarian
communism. Authentic socialism is libertarian, just as authentic communism is
anarchist.
Hitler was a fascist; Stalin was a bolshevik. Both of them were dictators. Fascism was,
and is all about dictatorship. Bolshevism has always been a dictatorial arrangement.
Socialism has always been about freedom, dignity, equality, community, and democracy.
"I ought, therefore I can."
-- Immanuel Kant
