Why aren't they aproving Net Neutrality then? (Unless if I get them mixed up and that Net Neutrality is the commie one.)

Communism isn't necesarily bad - the US just had a bad relationship with the largest communist country, and a lot of the communists that wanted to take down America (certainly not all of them did, it is just a political ideology, after all) got some publicity. But you're from Europe, Drace, I thought you'd know this.

Either way, it's not REALLY like communism because the internet doesn't own every website. It's more like anarchy, except that it needs a policy like Net Neutrality to secure that lawlessness. It's contradictory, but true.

Well Communism is all about suppressing choice so that everyone just gets on with their lives like hamsters. People are equal, but it's at the expense of alot of their freedom.

I'm not saying the Communism is bad, in contrary, the idea behind it is brilliant. Sure, it isn't perfect and Stalin the dictator ruined it for the rest of the world, but if done right (like Lenin did OR even improve his version) it could have been great.

What I said was different. Link and DF said that it would be communism if they didn't vote for the Neutrility Bill. And we all know America hates communistic countries (Vietnam, USSR, others). It was a joke.

Americans hate communism, but I'd like to think if Congressmen were smart enough to convince the public to trust them (while being completely untrustworthy ) than they're smart enough not to dismiss anything as "commie".

That's just me being foolish, I guess.

It's weird. I've always been taught that commies were bad and Communism was evil, but when I think of the perfect utopian community, it's instantly the same thing as Communism, minus the dictators that abuse their power. I think Communism would work just fine, assuming a few rules and standards were set to prevent the rulers from going overboard... But that's for another thread. Let's stay the course set by DarkFlood.

Meh, this is truly a great thread. The topic has gone this way and that but has remained civil. Why not let it go where it will?

Might I make mention of Sai'Kar's beautiful Rule 3?

Communism isnt bad. Its just many times the leader becomes crazed and it turns to borderline totalitarianism. Had Lenin been in charge for the developing decades, it may have worked. But he died and along came Stalin. After that other commies based their gov's on Stalins communism instead of Lenin's communism.

My favorite color is red. I would make an excellent Comminut leader.

Thinking of turning to the old Hammer and Sickle, eh Archem?

Which you have to admit, it's a pretty cool looking symbol.

Stalin had Lenin killed, so Lenin didn't die. He was murdered. Well, at least that's what I can remember from history class. I could also be mistaken with Animal Farm, best commie movie ever.
