• 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?

    2008 American Presidential Election

    Socialism means many things. Communism and Socialism of course overlap; but the Nazi Party was the National Socialist Party; and Clement Attlee, neither a Communist nor a Fascist, was a Socialist. Communism works on paper, but does not work in reality? Capitalism scarcely works on paper...

    Crazy Weavile seems to have focused entirely on Obama's change politics and ignored McCain's war politics.

    2008 American Presidential Election

    You're right, of course; it varies with the situation. In this situation Obama is unlikely to be worse than McCain even if Obama is a sore disappointment. And Crazy Weavile isn't making a trade-off.

    It's better to choose the vague risk than the guaranteed idiot.

    Stryke, everyone knows we're really just lifting whole chunks of text verbatim from books of political theory. For instance,

    I concede that lack of natural resources and geographical isolation are factors which have a large effect on a small number of nations: namely, islands and those nations similar to Mongolia. That is the heart of our disagreement. I think you have a limited understanding of imperialism. Most...

    2008 American Presidential Election

    First, even if one ignores what ... has said, it is absurdly euphemistic to use the word "only" in the sentence, "Only in Third-World countries." Indeed only half of the human race was living on only $2 or less a day in the year 2001. The "third-world" is not a mere anomaly although it is easy...

    Strangy, you know more about politics than I do; I don't find your posts retarded but I must say that most people in this capitalist world of ours often have insufficient food and awfully difficult and miserable lives.

    2008 American Presidential Election

    It depends which faults you're referring to. I was rather referring to the total collapse of communist nations not the faults of strange transitional economies. Edit: I'm going to bed now but I'll probably continue this debate tomorrow. In general I am arguing that the Cold War was the main...

    I think one is mistaken to employ China, Cuba, the USSR, et cetera as evidence that communism doesn't work. Capitalism was already old and globally established when communist nations such as the USSR were born. Capitalist governments are very hostile to communism. Communist nations have been...
