@GucciToiletSalesman not really no.

2018-05-28 16:10:25 UTC

You can take part in deciding how the money should be spent

2018-05-28 16:11:22 UTC

You do realise that question would apply to both private and publicly owned means of production, right? @Adoring Fan

2018-05-28 16:11:50 UTC

@Advocatus Diaboli that is like saying you can take part in elections. Your one vote changes nothing

2018-05-28 16:12:11 UTC

^

2018-05-28 16:12:14 UTC

So what?

2018-05-28 16:12:23 UTC

Are elections useless?

2018-05-28 16:12:26 UTC

How is that even comparable

2018-05-28 16:12:47 UTC

elections are useless, yes

2018-05-28 16:12:57 UTC

democracy is a false god

2018-05-28 16:13:09 UTC

I forgot you're a fascist

2018-05-28 16:13:23 UTC

Hope you guys have fun debating while I play some nice video games

2018-05-28 16:13:29 UTC

Lol

2018-05-28 16:13:30 UTC

Enjoy

2018-05-28 16:13:40 UTC

What games and what platform?

2018-05-28 16:14:44 UTC

it doesn't matter if I'm a fascist or not, that is besides the point

2018-05-28 16:14:54 UTC

democracy is a wholly failed system

2018-05-28 16:15:13 UTC

There is a reason all 3 of Aristotle, Plato and Socrates hated it

2018-05-28 16:15:25 UTC

Bourgeois democracy is indeed a failure

2018-05-28 16:15:41 UTC

But it's the best existing system so far

2018-05-28 16:15:57 UTC

Never expected to hear a commie say that

2018-05-28 16:16:10 UTC

>best system

2018-05-28 16:16:12 UTC

Ehh

2018-05-28 16:16:18 UTC

>best existing

2018-05-28 16:16:20 UTC

best existing

2018-05-28 16:16:23 UTC

yeah

2018-05-28 16:16:27 UTC

any democracy is a failure

2018-05-28 16:16:38 UTC

Democracy is the only way

2018-05-28 16:16:38 UTC

not just any brand that you disagree with

2018-05-28 16:16:44 UTC

Democracy gay RT

2018-05-28 16:16:54 UTC

If you have a ship, you want the best captain to steer it

2018-05-28 16:17:07 UTC

you dont want a man who, using his charisma, gets elected to be captain

2018-05-28 16:17:15 UTC

Society isn't a ship

2018-05-28 16:17:26 UTC

no, it's not, it's much more complicated than a ship

2018-05-28 16:17:34 UTC

exactly my point

2018-05-28 16:17:44 UTC

democracy is trash

2018-05-28 16:17:44 UTC

you want the best leader, not one who got the crowd's favoer

2018-05-28 16:17:45 UTC

That's why it can't rely on a single man's abilities

2018-05-28 16:17:47 UTC

*favor

2018-05-28 16:17:56 UTC

who says a single man rules?

2018-05-28 16:18:02 UTC

A king has assistants

2018-05-28 16:18:08 UTC

a fuhrer has his cabinet

2018-05-28 16:18:16 UTC

a tzar has his regional councils

2018-05-28 16:18:26 UTC

it's a completely simplistic view of fascism

2018-05-28 16:18:31 UTC

to think "one man" rules

2018-05-28 16:19:04 UTC

Having a majority rule can be a problem because the minority is not as well represented

2018-05-28 16:19:25 UTC

The question is not about if a single man should be allowed to rule (though certainly he shouldn't) but about how do leaders gain their power

2018-05-28 16:19:31 UTC

Or sometimes the minority is way over-represented. @KGals1

2018-05-28 16:20:06 UTC

Well, the (((minority))), in that case.

2018-05-28 16:21:06 UTC

Hello

2018-05-28 16:21:10 UTC

All the people who belong to that 'majority' aren't all the same, they obviously differ in their views

2018-05-28 16:21:18 UTC

Or just minorities in general.

2018-05-28 16:21:19 UTC

@Advocatus Diaboli I would certainly say gaining power just because people want you in power is not a legitimate source

2018-05-28 16:21:25 UTC

What

2018-05-28 16:21:52 UTC

@Fuju Iโ€™ve seen more people flip out due to someone mentioning someoneโ€™s natural pronouns to their preferred pronouns.

2018-05-28 16:21:55 UTC

How else can you ensure the mutual trust between the leadership and the people?

2018-05-28 16:22:00 UTC

If you want what's best for your health, a candyman is worse than a doctor. Yet you like the candyman more, he offers you colorful treats and sweets. The doctor is scary and will hurt you

2018-05-28 16:22:05 UTC

you will vote for the candyman

2018-05-28 16:22:07 UTC

not the doctor

2018-05-28 16:22:07 UTC

And the gender freaks are only a small portion of the population.

2018-05-28 16:22:12 UTC

but your health will decrease

2018-05-28 16:22:18 UTC

Yeah

2018-05-28 16:22:54 UTC

And then you'll learn from your mistakes and vote for the doctor

2018-05-28 16:22:59 UTC

ha

2018-05-28 16:23:00 UTC

yeah

2018-05-28 16:23:07 UTC

certainly shown in practice

2018-05-28 16:23:08 UTC

right?

2018-05-28 16:23:23 UTC

"learn from your mistakes" is not a good justification for an electoral system.

2018-05-28 16:23:33 UTC

that too.

2018-05-28 16:23:44 UTC

i would be willing to let go of that talking point

2018-05-28 16:23:50 UTC

if people actually learned from their mistakes

2018-05-28 16:23:52 UTC

but they dont

2018-05-28 16:24:05 UTC

being voted in does not mean you are the best

2018-05-28 16:24:17 UTC

@Fuju See Obama and Ronald Reagan.

2018-05-28 16:24:21 UTC

But it does mean that most of the people trust you

2018-05-28 16:24:33 UTC

Well by minority I meant the people who actually think and not the sheep who watch CNN to tell them who to vote for

2018-05-28 16:24:34 UTC

What

2018-05-28 16:24:55 UTC

Wdym @Dwarf

2018-05-28 16:24:56 UTC

One of the major reasons why I hate Communism is the State Atheism.

2018-05-28 16:25:08 UTC

^

2018-05-28 16:25:18 UTC

There was a freedom of religion under Stalin

2018-05-28 16:25:23 UTC

Learning from your mistakes isnโ€™t a good example of pro-electoral politics.

2018-05-28 16:25:42 UTC

Obama did a lot of bad than good but people didnโ€™t learn that.

2018-05-28 16:25:46 UTC

โ€œReligion is an Opiate Of the Massesโ€ - Karl Marx

2018-05-28 16:25:49 UTC

Reagan did a bit of bad too.

2018-05-28 16:26:00 UTC

Secularism and freedom of religion are two different things @Advocatus Diaboli

2018-05-28 16:26:10 UTC

Ikr

2018-05-28 16:26:23 UTC

So Secularism is State Atheism?

2018-05-28 16:26:39 UTC

@Advocatus Diaboli ok and? most people trust fraudsters

2018-05-28 16:26:43 UTC

or hustlers

2018-05-28 16:26:50 UTC

What

2018-05-28 16:27:06 UTC

you dont know if someone is a fraudster until it's too late

2018-05-28 16:27:37 UTC

Ok @Adoring Fan , which political system is the best in your opinion?

2018-05-28 16:29:35 UTC

@Advocatus Diaboli my favoured system is national socialism

2018-05-28 16:29:45 UTC

Right

2018-05-28 16:29:55 UTC

Talk about failed systems

2018-05-28 16:30:06 UTC

?

2018-05-28 16:30:24 UTC

NS worked though

2018-05-28 16:30:26 UTC

Nazism
