Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

no, IDK why so many think the government controls corporations under fascism.

under fascism, historically, business owners largely just became part of the ruling class and helped dictate policy in their favor. (sounds familiar doesn't it)

it's less that the government took control of the business and more that the businesses were let into the government. not to be controlled, but to control and benefit. sure, you had to fall in line with the party, as all people did, but it was more of a power grab by the rich than a dictator controlling them. falling in line just meant going on stage to publicly declare support for the party and condemnation for their enemies. remember, fascism is all about showing off and being the big macho man. it's about looking the party more than feeling and being it.

if the government took over businesses under fascism German and Italian companies would be very very different today. as it stands, they either benefitted or got burned down.
