What's your political affiliation, and why?

Why not join us Lydia? You'd be a perfect member. And as a member everything is yours, money, cars, weapons, whatever your heart desires!

 

In what country will THAT be Vy-ass??? :wink:

 

Many countries. Like the motherland here at TA.

 

Step into Holland and feel my wrath :evil: :evil: :deadly:

:wink:

 

Yeah..okay Noth, if I come into Holland I'm bringing all my damn revolutionaries.

 

If you come here with all of your followers I will also come alone... is that ok with you???

 

don't listen to vyaas, lydia! he has no regime... he is powerless!!! join us in Jar's supreme regime!!!

*whispers to Milo something about "United States of Arizona" and "recruiting"*

 

Go Rosie!!! :razz:

 

I have much power, how about I post a couple of logs from my channel to prove it?

What's really funny is that Jar barely knows anything of Communism yet you all mindlessly follow him.

 

It's his post count that does the trick... and yes, do so

 

Yeah, I do hate my school. Some kid got in trouble for wearing an Anti-Flag (awsome band) shirt. So, just to piss them off, I'm going to wear my own Anti-Flag shirt on "Flag Day", where they tell everyone to be patriotic and dress in red, white, and blue, or wear american flags and all that stuff.

However, in every single political thing I've seen, there are major flaws. Communists have them, fascists have them, domocrats have them, anarchists, almost everything. So I'm just gonna go with the "Screw it" attitude and stay neautral for now...

 

Still... democratic seems to work out best.

 

Probably from all the brain washing... and maybe some luck. Who knows?

 

The only reason communism fails is human nature... hmm, that's a pretty big flaw though.....

I think the only government that will ever be without major problems is the virtual democracy where EVERYBODY gets to vote on anything/everything you need. With so many people voting there is very little chance of a draw on any subject. Even so, some people will end up disgruntled.... :roll:

 

Can't please everyone all the time.

 

Human nature also causes all the flaws in capitalism; exploitation results from greed; stock market/currency market crashes result from greed and fear; perpetuation of class divisions are born of desire to provide for ones children.

It would also mean that we have layman making complex and abstract decisions rather than experts. Don't get me wrong, the idea appeals to me, but it seems to have some major issues that would need to be resolved.

It might be worth comparing this form of governence to the anarchy that Dennis Moore referred to earlier. Are they polar opposites or almost identical? I'm not sure.

I'm not sure of my terms, but seems to me that a democracy is what we might call an electoral system (to be compared with dictatorships or totalitarianism) whereas communism is an economic system (to be compared with capitalism or socialism). I say this, because I do not believe communism and democracy are mutually exclusive. People tend to say "long live democracy" and "down with the commies" in the same breath, but isn't that just because of the history of the cold war (a capitalist democracy vs a totalitarian communism) rather than any intrinsic opposition between democracy and communism?

 

...well said though.

- Don't worry, I understood exactly what you said and have to agree with you in totallity.

Hey, hang on! I've been on a jury. Oh, right, I see what you mean.

Actually, it was VERY scary to see the rabid dog "he's obviously a nasty man so he must be guilty of this crime" attitude and the complete lack of any ability to understand - no matter how many times the judge carefully explained it - the difference between "I'm leaning towards him being guilty" and "I am sure enough he is guilty to return a verdict of 'Guilty'."

and the military. *tremble*
