Intent is incredibly important. In all systems trade happens. The idea that capitalism=markets is incredibly stupid, equally stupid is the idea that all work is done under a corporation for the sole purpose of making someone else rich, as you have suggested here.
The problem is not that things are done for the sake of the state or not, but what purpose things are done for. In fascism the state is owned by corporate interests, the leading interest being whatever dictator sits at the top. Work is done solely to make those corporate owners privately rich, nothing more. Each system is built openly for class oppression.
Even in the most brain rotted American views the ussr is nothing like that. You’d have to be a fascist or brain damaged to even try to argue it.
the leading interest being whatever dictator sits at the top.
This is the part that matters. This is also true for Soviet communism or really any real life communism. The instruments are different, but the song is the same.
Nope, it truly isn’t. A lot of very rich people that currently own the US have paid a ridiculous amount of money to convince you that’s the case, but any dual citizen of China will tell you xi’s not a dictator like Biden or Trump.
The same was true in the ussr. Or any communist party controlling a socialist state. Your ignorance doesn’t change reality, neither does your gullibility.
That doesn’t change that the powers of governance and commerce were in the same hands. Changing what you call it is just semantics.
