Fascist or Republican?

[Odin]

Oh, and I am a Democratic socialist, I can't be as bad as Che.

But then again, noone knew he did drugs, either.

There is no such thing as a bloodless revolution.

If you mean that communists could be elected and take power peacefully in that manner, yes, that's possible. But, since the premise of my comment was "if you believe in world wide revolution" and I believe that winning elections EVERYWHERE is so unlikely as to be nearly impossible, there is an implicit suggestion of the use of force.

I'd pay a few bucks to make that a reality ...

Ok, although I'd say that was as much a collapse as it was a revolution. But given that communism seems to think capitalism will collapse too, perhaps such a bloodless revolution would be possible.

Although I think Che is right - there will be those who would resist a communist revolution violently.

it depends. Noone resisted the "democratic" revolution in Russia. ( the ""s come because you can see how democratic the current leadership is )

I just take it to be an implicit admission of impossibility. Communism would be beautiful if everyone accepted it, but it's never going to happen. *shrug*

Me too, IW.

Azazel - well, there was the aborted coup attempt, but AFAIK, nobody died.

Re: Fascist or Republican?

There is a difference?

[Arrian]

Oh, like, you're so smart MOBIUS! Did you come with that all by yourself? Did it hurt?

Note: see the first reply in the thread

[chequita guevara]

And I only did it because people would be disappointed if I didn'.

[Arrian]

Well, duh. And to mess with Speer, I'd imagine

If I might be so bold, it's mainly because absolutely every fascist who has ever lived has been a complete bastard. A whopping great streak of **** across the face of humanity. A turd with a pulse.

It's like the propensity of items to move in a vaguely downwards motion when dropped. You take up fascism, and you became an almighty pus-gargling cheese ranger even if you weren't one already. I can back this up.
