[Google is defining words like fascism wrong]

Just as a note. I know Google is data driven, and I'm not saying that they are even doing it on purpose. I just wanted to put it out there so people can be aware that it is happening, and not to trust google definitions if you are looking up ideology type words especially, get your info from a dictionary or at least a dictionary website.

Again some differences, google not completely advocating socialism, but definitely replacing the word state with "community as a whole", and leaving out tidbits. Just seems to paint a bit of a prettier picture than webster

As you can see there are some differences, and Google seems to think that fascism is decidedly right wing ideology. Just wanting to point this out, because it doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar.. I will post more soon when I get some more time to research..

[Google is defining words like fascism wrong]

Take a look for yourself try words like collectivism, socialism, fascism, racism, these words are being re- defined in Google search engine, to make the right look bad and the left look peachy. Anybody else notice this? My girlfriend pointed this out a while ago and it's crazy. No wonder people are so confused, google is using "newspeak" from 1984 to define words differently than the dictionary definitions.
