for FUCK'S sake. FUCK.

Really though the reason I say this is because I don't think the British folk realize they sound like SARAH FUCKING PALIN when they say "taco."

They say it with a short A.
It needs to be a long A.

Just pls. ;-;

@Taaj

Tayco?

How *I* See Communism: A Discussion of Spamtastic Proportions

<Snipped quote by The Nexerus>

Yes. Kings have job descriptions too, but when you get rid of them society doesn't fall apart.

@Vilageidiotx

Actually, it kind of does. When you remove a figure head like that via revolution, to replace it with a new government, you are taking the previous society apart and rebuilding it with the recycled bricks. This has been going on for ages, and is the reason we DON'T have kings right now. But you're comparing kings and business owners in the wrong way. Some kings did just live a privileged life, letting the church or advisers rule their country while they relaxed. Other kings made laws, managed the economy, discussed military strategy during times of war, etc.

<Snipped quote by BrobyDDark>

Marxism/Leninism doesn't work because it is predicated on the belief that democracy doesn't work, and once you've made that decision than you have decided that the people cannot rule themselves, which defeats the purpose of trying to put the people in charge of the economy.

@Vilageidiotx

Someone will always step up and take charge, because there's no way everyone can control the economy at once. Everyone needs a representative, who will look like the leader and, like it or not, that person will have more power over the economy at that point onward. That's how I view it, anyways.

I personally believe that aristocrats throughout history have been frauds. I think the historical pattern where aristocrats continue to leach power from their civilization until they take too much and their civilization stagnates and either goes through revolution, collapses, or becomes undefendable, is telling. I think the United States is currently entering that stagnation process.

@Vilageidiotx

This is a gripe I have with talking about the current state of things, and talking about politics and the economy. A lot of people seem to think that the US is currently undergoing its demise- we're on our deathbed, even though we have been chugging along fine for years. Our death won't happen because of our current economic system, and it wouldn't happen if we were communist, or socialist, or lived in a dictatorship. Our death would happen when we tried to change all of that, because switching our economic ideology will make us very weak, as we're suddenly getting rid of people that make a lot of money they use to fund the government.

My main beef with the far left is the sectarian nature of it. I think most of those beliefs are endangered because they are always too worried about the rules, like someone holding up the game to read the rulebook until everyone gets annoyed.

@Vilageidiotx

I kinda agree. It's the same way with AnCap people. If you tell them they're wrong, they'll tell you everything will be OK because of the NAP

I also think the far left throughout history usually fails. Aristocrats are frauds, but they are really good frauds. So if I had to put money on it, I wouldn't bet that the left will win and we'll enter some Star Trek future, rather I'd bet that our civilization is going to stagnate and fall apart. What that'll look like in the modern world is hard to tell. I'm just reaaallly hoping that it waits until I die before any of the really hairy shit happens. Let me be the last generation of the waning civilization, not the first generation of the First Intermediate Period of the Anglo-Saxon civilization.

@Vilageidiotx

I think everything's going to be fine, for at least another 100 years.

How *I* See Communism: A Discussion of Spamtastic Proportions

I like looking at people who talk about Communism, because they always present the """""true""""" form of Communism that is always different from how Communism really is.

Communism in itself is not something that can work on its own. It always has to be shifted to be something else for it to work in every Communists' eyes. It's come to the point that everyone who is a """""Communist""""" is actually just someone who follows a different ideology loosely based on communism.

SPAM! in SPACE!

Yes, that's right. BROBY, AWSON, KEYGUY, DINH, and CLOCKTOWER. The FIVE BRAVE HEROES that will bravely explore SPACE for the sake of humanity.

They are the SPACE PATROL ADVENTURE MEN!



"Listen up you BEAUTIFUL, WELL-TRAINED, LOVELY PEOPLE WHOM I COULD NEVER INSULT EVER. You are going on a dangerous mission DON'T FAIL, PLEASE. EVERYBODY'S COUNTING ON, AND BELIEVING IN, YOU. Get out there and EXPLORE SOME SPACE, men! SPAM Team, GO!"



Great speech, Commander! The SPAM Team file out of the shuttle one by one, taking in the sights! The local star is a baby's head! Neat! There's a bunch of very similar but not really rocks floating around! Cool! There's a blue planet! Boring! But what to explore first...

(Now we're out there in space! "But what do we do? What the fuck is this? Tell me, Broby, you dumbass! 'Cause you didn't put it in the first post!" This is a spam game. Kind of like an adventure, like that Homestuck thing the cool kids were on about a few years ago. Except worse! You give your suggestions, and the characters you suggest to do those suggestions will do them! But there's a caveat- the group cannot be split up, except by death, which will be handled with rolls. To give a suggestion, do this: >[character]:[action]

Simple, right?)
