The top and bottom are still uncovered so the illusion is still operative.

"Socialism is the goal, communism is the way to reach it" is actually what a lot of MLs seem to secretly believe in the sense that they want to use the appeal of communism to motivate people to create socialism. I have seen very little interest from them in actually building communism.

In terms of valuing humanity, yes, fascists do not care about humanity or individual humans. They value their nation or identity as an abstract.

The defining moment of the 2000s was that guy throwing a shoe at Bush's head.

I regret to inform you that there are people walking around today, espousing the benefits of fascism, who have never lived under fascism and who have no plans to be a fascist leader.

It's what true believers believe.

You're misreading the axes.

There are different kinds of ancaps. Objectivists are also in that category.

Again, not claiming fascists are altruistic. Their ideology assumes people in general are not self-interested.

Sure but they also believe this is in line with human nature. And they trust their leadership to not be self-interested.
