Bored, so I made this thread :Debate Thread:

No one's "getting all over you" - we're just putting across our arguments. You do seem to be the only one willing to argue for the pro's, pretty much - it's nothing personal.

Due to being a bunch of *****'s, Pro loses. Con, you win.

New topic:

Political Parties

Choose your side:

Republican/Conservative
Liberal/Democrat
Independant

[§ephiroxa§]

I was trying to argue both points. I thought that's what a good debater does.

... no actually communism and socialism are not the same and have almost nothing in common... what are you taking about?

[Reaver]

whats up with that fablefreak1 i was with you.


And about the parties i'd have to say republican, but then again i dont think democracy works. If you get someone who wont be corupted by the power id say go for dictatorship (even ith its bad track record)

Okay, maybe I took that one too far. What I meant to say was its anti-Capitalism. But hey, I'm an American so what do you expect. I'm all about capitalism. The only problem is these ideas of government work so well on paper but when they are applied to real life they can be disastrous, its all how the people percieve it and how it affects the economy. Lets not get off track though, its about political parties, not Capitalism vs. Socialism...

Just a note, communism and socialism both spawned from Marxism.

Definitons of Communism and Socialism

Communism:
A theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state.

Socialism:
a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.

Maybe Hex had a point? But then I do see some similarities...

(If anyone is wondering, I'm an Independant)

British National Party - and the prospect of them coming into power is not as far-fetched as people think. And then we're all in trouble...
