Collectivism means force, no matter which way you slice it

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
The Venezuelan people marched through the streets of Caracas this last weekend, banging empty pots, in what is called the “empty pots march,” because the country is running out of food. The march, accompanied by many violent protests over the last month, are a symptom of the socialist regime lead by President Nicolás Maduro.
What should we call this amazing social blight?
The Cato Institute’s Daniel Mitchell rehearses all the names: statism, liberalism, socialism, fascism.
I have a list of my own:
- Socialism: nationalization of the means of production.
- Communism: socialism plus death camps.
- Racism: government by and for “our kind.”
- Fascism: racism plus death camps.
- Corporatism: conspiracy of big business and big government.
- Liberalism: conspiracy of best and brightest and big government.
- Progressivism: liberals in the 1 percent that think they are the 99 percent.
- Obamacare: liberalism plus death panels.
What is the point of boiling down names of left-leaning movements?
