| 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. |

Re: democracy!!!!!
thats a stupid thing to say. all political ideologys can work, its just that some are not the happiest place in the world to live.
plus the alternatives are less than appealing

Re: democracy!!!!!
Are you talking about:
direct democracy?
representative democracy?
or some random countries who claim that they have a democratic rule as ways of hiding their fascist regime?

Re: democracy!!!!!
funny you bring it up, im writing a book on it right now. the basic idea is summed up in this quote from me
"representative democracy is the best form of goverment because it rules its people not through fear or force but with dilusion. your freedom, society, and union is a lie, you are a slave to your own misconception and the majorities ignorance."
the book explores the idea of democracy as a government that was created to rule people with lies versus out right despotism.

Re: democracy!!!!!
Maybe all we really want is for someone to lie to us and tell us everything's going to be allright.

Re: democracy!!!!!
thats cute spirit but do you really believe you have power in the policy of this country? does the government accuratly represent you? NO, of course not, it simply rules you. your a slave to a system becasue of your own ignorance and denial. say what you want because i know i cant change your mind. anarchy is the only true form of representative government and sadly the western world is not ready for it (they may never be ready). it requires a change of heart and mind in the individual, only the individual can make it work if he wants to, you do not so i wont even bother. i think its pretty clear so im not even going to argue the merits of representative democracy with you.
