Since Communism is liberal, communist dictators use different tactics in
propaganda. They claim, as I recall, that their way is new and better.
They deny the existence of God, gods, spirit, and probably a few other
things.

Fascists tend to use another set of propaganda tactics. They want to
return to former glories of their country / area / neighbors /
conquerors. They would probably claim that some god or other had guided
them and would continue to guide them. Religion is a powerful motivator.
(Frank Herbert understood this.)

The main difference besides propaganda is that Fascists tend to resist
any new systems, whereas Communists only oppose those that do not
originate with the government.

ObConlang: does anyone know how complete Chakobsa and Herbert's other
hunting languages are? Is Chakobsa merely Arabic (perhaps combined with
Hebrew) with a slightly different orthography?
