Have you considered that (a) communism != dictatorship, while there have been many capitalist dictatorships, often U.S. sponsored and (b) succeeding in big projects is a lot easier when you're rich, which surviving ww2 unscathed and exploiting the world will make you?

It is a one direction relation: communism requires a dictatorship, but dictators often are not communist.

Every fascist regime is capitalist. Think about it. Fascism is capitalism in crisis.

Capitalism is a straw man invented by communists to mean whatever they want to tear down.

Fascism is not capitalism - fascists don't even think in economic terms except how it helps them.

I'm a classical liberal. Something like capitalism derives from liberalism, but it is derived from freedom of the individual, and not a value in itself.
