Pick your poison

[MacReady]

I thought this would be an interesting question...

Which of these unfavorable polictical parties would you choose to rule over your country if you were absolutely, positively forced to?

[Jon Lyrik]

Facist party, I love facism.

Oh, you mean fascism? :(

[JohnTheHenchman]

The Communist Party.

Thanks for correction (and a big thanks for Indiana Sev for fixing it).

Were you serious are just pointing out a mistake?

I chose the Communist party because on paper, communism would work out very well, but when the human factor is introduced, it often falls apart.

I don't know much about the Chinese form of Communism, but is it by the textbook, or is it a variation of some kind?

Fascism actuall has some pretty good qualities as an ideology. Communism does look good on paper but once you put the human factor it does fall apart as stated above (plus Im from Serbia, ex-Yugoslavia, Communist Sate so its personal as well)

Fascism, out of these three.

[QUENTIN]

Communism, definetly. It's a great idea I think, it's just never been actually implemented. In principle, it's a better idea than capitalism. But I don't think I'd want any of these three, considering communism hasn't yet worked and fascism and nazism are inherently evil.

[Cyclonus]

If I absolutely had to choose one of these? The Communist Party. Their principles may sound good in theory, but I doubt they'd work, at least not at this point in human history. Otherwise, I'd opt for a more moderate compromise between socialism and capitalism.

[Tom Samborski]

The Communist Party, and it isn't really that much of a poison. If it was put into the right hands, it could actually work.

[Criminal Rock]

I would choose the Communist Party.

Havn't you noticed that no one has chosen the "Nazi" party yet- gee, I wonder why?

But I always thought that the Nazi's were a type of Communism... just thinking, thats all.

[The Postmaster General]

The idea that Nazi's were communists ends at their name National Socialism -- Modern historians and socialists do not view them as communists/socialists.

For one, Nazi's were anti-Marxist, the idea that aryans were superior opposed socialist ideals, Hitler promoted private ownership, was a dictator, and most importantly, he sent communists to death, and he outlawed labor unions.

Most often, HItler and his little band of dickwads were considered Fascist, and actually Totalitariumism was coined to address the difference betwen Nazism, and socialism.

Really. Do tell.

[horrorfreak13]

Facists? I guess

[flowrchild]

Communism, although that's shown itself to do more harm than good. Those options are all lousy.

[electriclite]

Fascism's main goal is gaining power for the sake of power..... not exactly a cool idea for a government, as we should already know.

Nazi Party? Does one really need to explain this one?


There are countries that are run Communist and they ain't too shabby. If we could just work it so that you don't end up with a dictator, as Communism has a pesky trend of doing, it wouldn't be all that worse then the way corporations pretty much run this country. Would it?
