@Flaser I'm quite fond of The Socialist Party of Great Britain, but they're small and supposedly exclusive. I found this wiki entry hilarious
But I'm an American, so I'm pretty much fucked when it came to me registering to vote. I live in California, so there's always the Peace and Freedom Party, but I prefer to just remain as an independent. Frankly, I'm a little bitter about being viewed as an outcast and an enemy because my political views lean towards socialism (I'm not a fan of labels), so I would prefer the abolishment of political parties. :P
Back on topic.
What really grinds my gears is that my fellow Americans are so convinced now that communism and fascism are similar. Take it from me and this one fascist I argued with a few years back... we are long-standing enemies. ;)

Both, obviously you guys and maybe a few fuckheads online i am friends with. Also, my high school friends because obviously they fap.
Fly down to Hollywood, show a few actresses my bank statement, and tell them if they fuck me in a huge massive orgy that they can get a billion each.
Fascism is the result of a collective group of people, within a state, that possess a "proud" history having been systematically weakened and humiliated; thus, a strive to reclaim former glory and the majority of people looking for individuals to guide them. Because it is more of a modern concept, and really came about after the first mechanized war, there is heavy focus placed on those who produce wealth, i.e. corporations. The people are, more or less, willing to give up any and all liberties if it means they will be a part of a strong state once again, and they give direct power to individual(s) to "use" the people of the state as they please, and must to fulfill the wishes of the people.
Communism is the "destination" of the socioeconomic theory of socialism, as laid out mainly by Marx with help from good friend Engels. This is far more complex to explain, probably because I know more about it than fascism. It's difficult to discuss this, also, because when discussing communism or socialism (fuck, now it seems Marxism is taboo; fuck you Glenn Beck) people always refer back to the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, etc. No. Socialism was never established in any country. A short definition of what is understand to be socialism:
Communism is far too complex to discuss if all you know is what took place during the 20th century. It requires the study from the the agricultural revolution to the 19th century, and I guess so on. From the beginning of the establishment of property, which would lead to "civilization" (cities, etc) to feudalism, which would later be replaced by capitalism. Marx is the undisputed history's greatest scholar on capitalism, let's get that clear (doesn't make him right, but don;'t fucking toss out what he says cause you have a grudge against his legacy). He determined that capitalism, if left alone, would spread across the entire world, and being naturally harmful to the workers of the world, would eventually destroy itself from within by inciting global revolution.
I think I'll leave it at that for now.

A short definition of what is understand to be socialism:
a system of society based upon the common ownership and democratic control of the means and instruments for producing and distributing wealth by and in the interest of society as a whole.
* If there are wages and salaries, it is not socialism.
* State ownership is not socialism.
* Social programs are not socialism.
* Socialism means democracy at all levels of society, including the workplace.
* Socialism means a wageless, moneyless society.
* Socialism means voluntary labour.
* Socialism means free access to the goods produced by society.
The way I see it, socialism cannot be established through reforms. It requires a complete reconstruction of a state, during a period sometimes referred to as the "workers state" or "workers' democracy."* If there are wages and salaries, it is not socialism.

This is random, but anime related, so this should be the place to ask this:
I can't remember where I heard people being really angry of the English dub of Bleach because of their translation of shinigami. There was also something about the proper way of saying it in English.
Can't remember if they were pissed about "soul slayer" or "soul reaper." Anyone either hear of this or share this sentiment? What's the correct way?

It's the new "gay." Soon you'll hear people saying a tv series is "so weeaboo."
I'm not being serious. Though, I have heard it used more during this week than the past 3 months.
