I find it funny that most people voted in the same yes option that I voted on.

Celebrations by the People for their new Chairman Voltaire

The great common horde cheered in celebration as the disciplined columns of soldiers marched in dedication of their new chairman Voltaire. Patriotic songs were sung to commemorate this momentous event as the Human Hive strives to unite the human race for the greater good.


Speech Voltaire, Speech!
BTW War of Art, You included my name twice.

[Method]

the glorious cybernetic consciousness would never make such a mistake

unless it was intentional - perhaps to illustrate your greatness, comrade?

[Vev]

Actually there is two of Me, the Hive have already perfected Cloning.

[Voltaire]

Today is a great day for socialism! Comrades, for the first time in history a communist nation will be build from nothing. No revolution, no class struggle, none of the traditional Marxist revolutionary theories apply any longer, for Comrades we come to a world untouched by the evils of capitalism.

The past experiments in socialism failed comrades because of the power of the capitalists, and we much admit Comrades they are formidable enemies. Valiantly socialists around the world struggled against capitalism in their attempts to preserve the revolution, but in the end failed for the capitalists sought nothing other than the overthrow of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

Today Comrades we being anew, we have the opportunity to create a true communist nation! For the first time in history the revolution takes on a new role, no longer is the revolution about the overthrow of our oppressors, the revolution now is to build the society Marx and Engels envisioned. The playing field is level Comrades, now is the time to show the capitalists the true power of communism. Now is the time for a true WORLD REVOLUTION! We will achieve Lenin's vision of a World Federative Republic of Soviets.

Comrades, Earth belonged to the oppressors, Planet will be ours!

Speech to the Assembly of the Proletariat on the Unity

The pirates were one of the first communist style societies. They were especially interested in the redistribution of wealth. And we still are.

[Vev]

Is everyone's wealth part of the greater commonwealth of the pirates?

This explains how we can have more than 100% of our citizens vote. It was no computer error after all.

The University Tribune condemns the lack of a "No" option in this poll and wishes to point out that this only contributes to the fact that Pravda is NOT an objective news source and should not be trusted for any fair and balanced news.

The University Tribune would also like to note that all University Tribune outlets will also serve as stations of backup for any refugees attempting to escape the evil Hive Despotism. Because the University Tribune is a nationalized industry of the University of Planet, all outlets are therefore owned by the University of Planet and official university territory and therefore any persons may be granted asylum.

Communisms name shall not be tarnished by these Maoist fools

Pah - we don't see any kind of poll for University leader. The UoP is probably run by a dictatorship, and the citizens are simply informed afterwards as to who has been "elected".

BTW, who is/was Mao

That is what YOU do, as signaled by your COMPLETLY SKEWED poll consisting of the options "Yes" and "Yes".

However, in the interst of answering all valid questions: The University of Planet did indeed have a poll and Archaic came out the winner.

BTW, who is/was Mao

-Jam

You should know. You do carry the Red Book with you, dont you?

Chairman Mao of the People's Republic of China.

BTW, isn't the Hive meant to be police state above all else, and is not allowed to choose democracy should it ever want to? Just a thought

Neither of your factions posted a poll. Indeed the only faction to do so, and the only faction with a real choice and discussion, was the Great Cybernetic Consciousness. Not only are we democratic, we have reached the pinacle of democracy - telepathy. Bow before the mighty will of the Consciousness our high standards of democracy

That statement reminds me of the offer I made to you some days ago:

Dear Mr. Tassadar5000.
The always polite state security, instituted to serve our people, invites you to have a longer "stay" here in the Hive. We would be pleased if you would participate in "discussions" about major political and social issues with our state security members.
We will of course provide free housing and food for you. Well, your "room" will lack a few comforts, such like windows, bathrooms and beds. We ask you to forgive us about these things...

EDIT:
As People’s Commissar of Information I have to remind you that this will be the last Edition of PRAVDA where uncensored capitalist propaganda spam will be tolerated. Well, not tolerated, it just won´t punished. Not yet.
