Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought.

Default Alignment

In the dungeons & dragons game, they use a system of alignments to describe the moral outlook of the characters in the game. The alignment are devided into two parts : A good, neutral and evil axis and a lawful, neutral and chaotic axis. They combine to from diferent alignments, from Lawfull good to Chaotic Evil.

Could you describe governments in the same way?

e.i.:

Lawfull good: Socialist governemnt, like europe.
Lawfull neutral: Communism
Lawfull evil: Faschism
Neutral good: Constitutional monarchy
True neutral: Monarchy
Neural evil: Theocracy, like Iran
Chaotic good: Capitalist democracy like the United States:
Chaotic neutral : Anarchy
Chaotic Evil: Despotism, like Iraq

You probably could if you really wanted to, but if you did, you'd probably be better off determining what each government was by the way they are, not the style of government it is.

No system of goverment is perfect.
Time has shown that all have there downfalls.
Only a great king is a good system.

pontificum, denial, liberate your selfs, and the individual will you can possess, read the thread on the last pages of capitalism, the only system that results in peace, for your answers to the above.

Hearing the word Hitler I cant help myself. He was a shit for brains, no military leader, a loser at life (thats how he learned to hate the world)...all he was good at was public speaking...and hating people. Look at how he spread his troops out in total circles, hell, he lost the war in russia when everyone froze to their doom...he could have won...if he was someone else....

PS. Nazi...Stupid...Brute...dam, similarity in three

Yes, he was such an idiot that he almost won WWII. Look, if the germans hadn't lost at Moscow or Stalingrad, we'd all be speaking german right now.
