just to get this straight. you are not allowed to defend yourself?
ok, thats it. i m done.


I'm not saying don't defend yourself, I'm not saying let yourself be killed either, what I am saying is don't resort to the methods of those who wrong you in the first place.

Strange shift from communism and capitalism, but okay...

What is just? What is right? Those with power are destined to guide those without. Thus, the right are the powerful regardless of what age or situation.

If you are to say - killing is bad. Then how could that be right? What does killing do? It staves off the world's population from rising far too high for our society to supply. Mass killings end famine, lead to technological outbreaks, and slowly unifies the world.

So by saying killing is bad, you're promoting famine, technological backwardness, and strife among all the people of this world.

Killing is the solution to everything if you really think about it. It is in the base of man's lust for power as it will always be. I'm not saying you should off every single person in this world, but what I am saying is that this world should be baptized in fire.

So basically, your saying that humanity is founded by violence from the day we stepped out of our caves to the technological marvel we have to day. I agree with you there because when we look at things backwards, all the major advances and social and political changes have something to do with tradedgy. the Black Plague, WW1-WW2, and such and such.

Communisme on paper is the perfect system, but capitalism is in all of us in the way that we want alway more. So we will never be able to reach a true communism system because of the asshole greedy nature of human.

Capitalism!

What I dont like about Communism is the fact that its suppossed to be a "fair society" but you WILL get screwed over royally.

With Capitalism you KNOW your gonna get screwed over at some point but atleast youve got a washing machine and a half decent car to show for it.

I like my luxuries!!!

Personally, ye i think that capitalism is good too, it may be explotive, evil and greedy but at least theyre not trying to cover it up by saying that "everything is good and proper, now lets work for another 20 hours a day and praise how generous our benevolent dictator is."

Personally fail to see how communism sounds good on paper, it stopped sounding good to me at the phrase "dictatorship of the proletariat". Communism is a totalitarian ideology, that is deeply hostile to individuality and civil liberties, not to mention intellect and science. I abhor any kind of totalitarianism, whether it dresses itself as left- or right-wing, and therefore reject communism.
Capitalism is fundamentally flawed, and needs to be tempered by sensible and responsible legislation, but it's the best option we have available at the time.
