• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Communism?

    What Pentimento said. Apparently, there's a line from Men In Black (My dad said this, I've never watched it,) where a guy goes, "A person may not be stupid, but people are stupid."

    You think Turbo could be nearly that cohesive?

    Maybe it's me, but I hadn't heard of Chinese Whispers until yesterday.

    Communism?

    Actually pretty sure Orwell was really confused about his economical orientation when he wrote that book, but either way it perfectly portrays communism. 1984... bejeezus. Big brother is watching you. *shivers*

    Communism?

    No, they wouldn't know. Jonas /felt/ he had freedom, at least until he became Receiver. But he always felt that if he didn't have the freedom for a certain thing that the elders would make a better choice anyway, and it made him feel relieved. And he didn't know what "the pill" was either, so I...

    Ironically, though made two months ago, it only had 28 posts until Wednesday.

    Communism?

    Yeah, sorry if I didn't make that sentence clear enough. What I meant is that anybody who tries to hog it all for themselves will eventually amass power with no government to stop them. The only way to stop them would be a government, not necessarily of corrupt people, most likely of perfectly...

    Communism?

    Socialist, not communist. All communist countries in practice have just been extreme forms of socialism. Human nature prevents something as utopian as communism from actually happening. There will always be lust, and self-centeredness, and greed. And left unchecked, they will obviously lead to...

    Communism?

    I'm not going to rip you apart for this. I agree. Anybody who DOESN'T think that communism is the single best system ever in theory needs their head checked. The problem is, it's impossible for it to work.

    Communism?

    It's funny that you're STILL ignoring what I said. I mean seriously, I'm getting a kick out of it.

    Communism?

    So you're still going to misconstrue me? I'll post it loud and clear here to make sure there's no more "accidental" confusion. I WANT TO KNOW THE ECONOMIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMMUNISM AND SOCIALISM. I DO NOT GIVE A FLYING CRAP ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT THE ECONOMIC DIFFERENCE BECAUSE I REALIZE...

    Communism?

    If you say, "Communism works, it's just that every country which has tried it as of yet has gotten a slew of corrupt leaders," then one could easily make the argument that communism is corruptible.

    Communism?

    Yeah I really see not much difference there. Furthermore, I'm not alone:

    Communism?

    I know this. But I'm not saying that Socialism and Communism are the same in any regard, except the economy. So my question was, "What is the economic difference between socialism and communism?" and a straight answer would be appreciated.

    One thing on the HDI actually has anything to do with economy. Kthx.

    Communism?

    Greece... Is dying in a pit? Portugal... has a higher debt than GNP? (iirc) They both are a government-owned command economy with chronic debt problems. I still see no real difference (Economically. That's what both theories are about.)
