You are asserting whether socialism is good or bad, this is not a debate about whether socialism is good or bad it is merely an illustration of the differences between socialism and communism. Everyone else got that and made their peace with it then you come trundling along like that obnoxious...

Next to the statue of liberty? I really need to get better acquainted with video games.

Is there a mosque in the Utopian one?

The right will because they know the legacy of Mao's cultural revolution and the Stalinist purges mean that communism evokes distasteful connotations of brutal dictatorships. Except for a few idiot sociology students at universities nobody from the left will ever refer to themselves as a communist.

And how it maintains it, a communist party can't really seize government in a marxist coup but then begin to transition to democratic elections and still be communist.

Socialism is an exclusively economic system like capitalism, it merely refers to a system whereby a central government assumes possession of capital before redistributing it directly and indirectly in an egalitarian way. Communism is a whole system of government encompassing, it is completely...

Socialism is fine, socialism is perfectly compatible with peaceful and democratic values. Communism is not.

You don't even know what your arguing. You went in with this lazy idea that you could just attack perceived flaws in social democracy and that would somehow justify calling it communism, that as exposed for the fallacious, lazy argument that it was and now your just spinning like a top, not...

We could halve taxes in this country and it'd still be a social democracy.

You are a fucking idiot.

All I have denied is that it's respectable arguing to equate social democracy to communism.

A path to argument fallacies like the slippery slope?

I don't care what you think about such programs, the point is that it's not communist.

Wait you were refering to me as Thatcher? You surely know the origin of the avatar.Surely.

I thought we were being playful, very well. You may be a pure anti-statist but for bulk of people the "right way" isn't absolute and pure it is somewhere in the middle of a spectrum. While we agree there should be a certain number of government funded programmes to ensure people aren't unfairly...

Only a sith deals in absolutes.

Explain

Oh rubbish.

I'm a fan of genuine encores, I agree with the Art vs Science line that they lack spontaneity at the moment. If a band absolutely kills and the audience are enthralled then it's great when they come back and play a few old favourites or whatever but factoring it into their staged set I find...

This Suhartoesque equating of left of centre social democracy as communism on this place is obscene.
