 Topic: I'm not a communist
Posted: April 06 2007 at 10:26 |
I have declared that communism is a good Idea, but I am not a communist. I want to get this clear, although my signature may have communists leaders, it is a joke as you can see with Karl Marx wearing a lamp shade on his head. It's telling people to joing the communist Party as in a festive occassion. It's just a silly joke.
In fact, I am a theocrat, so please, have a sense of humor and stop using my signature against me.
I still do think that Communism is the form of world government that most closely resembles Christianity, but it fails because of human error. True theocracy has never failed.

But if the entire government is based around a religion, what happens when one of the people no longer believes? That's the problem with theocracy.

i'd never be so involved with these insane machinations that I'd define my self as a "-cat" or a "-can" or an "-ist" of any sort.

And I like your sig.

Democracy doesn't work either, and that's because the majority of people are usually wrong.

I never thought you were a communist, I just thought your signature was very humorous.

Actually, you can consider communism a kind of religion. And communist parties were like local churches of this religion with the leader of the USSR being the Pope.
Marx said also that religions are opium for masses. Communism became such opium itself.

Democracy often turns into dictatorship of the majority (we won so we can do whatever we want and we don't care what others think of it).

Communism might even work ... if people were good. Unfortunately history has proven that they're not. Power corrupts, and in any society - even if most of them were equal and content with their life - some people would need to have power in order to maintain stability. BTW: You think that communism is a "good idea", but you say that you're not a communist ... that makes no sense to me. You're either for it or against it - there's no in between.

Theocracy doesn't have borders. There could never be a nation that has a theocratic government. It's impossible. it's more of a way of life than anything else.

Come on, I personally thought that was a funny signature, never thought of a communist that would take his ideology so lightly, so never thought you were one

Theocracy has never failed? After the English Civil War, England became a Puritan theocratic state (the Commonwealth of England), but right after Cromwell died, it colapsed again to become a constitutional monarchy. It was a theocracy for all of about 12 years.
