      If I were part of the "master race" in question, I'd probably want to live in a Fascist system. Life is good if you're part of that clique. As for Stalinist Communism, life is sh1tty for everyone.

          Yeah, by nazi/communist do you mean what exactly?

          If you mean fascist like in Nazi Germany, and communist like in East Germany after 45 I´d prefer the latter. While both were totalitarian regimes, chances to survive conflicts with the ruling forces were muuuuuch bigger under communist rule.

          If you are rather after the Soviet Stalinist era, it would be too difficult to decide for me.

              That's up to each individual. Vote according to example, theory, perceived probability, a combination of such criteria, whatever. I just imagine it would make most sense to couple standards, rather than the obvious stances many might take (Communism by theory vs. Fascism by example, etc.)

                Even though they'd both suck, I'll say communist, because then I'd at least have a pleasant ideology to fall back on. I'd feel too guilty to live well in a fascism. In communism, at least I can trick myself into believing I'm suffering for a noble cause.

                  'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

                    In most of the cases, the answer is clear.


                    But to surprise you:
                    I'd take a suscessful, fair and just fascism over a corrupt destroyed pseudo communist rule. ( think North Korea ).

                      oh I'd rather live by "Communism by theory". For people who understand what it is, it's much like a Utopia... I was assuming you meant Stalinist Communism.

                        With relative perception of present, I think I would rather have lived in Caesar's Rome than Stalin's Russia. Even Germany under Hitler would have been more desirbale than that - in a majority sense

                          I'd wonder what I had done to be sentenced to such a hellish choice.

                            In fascism, its a case of men oppressing men. With stalinism, its the other way round.

                            However, I take communism to mean the myriad different systems that come under that banner, from the perfect capitalist society, to the greatest amount of liberty in a society (a possible interpretation of the Mill Limit), to the ravages of Stalins purges.
