The only good government is an impotent government.
What's a "virtual democracy?" Is it anything more than a figment of Sid's imagination?

Ugh, Ramo... how dare you combine the crap that is CtP with Sid's good name!
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I almost wish we would go into anarchy to see what happens to those people that voted for it
I suggest looking up the Spanish Civil War. Or the Paris Commune. Hell, just look up the history of the anarchist movement.
One would think I've explained the concept of anarchism enough on 'Poly...

You're a Syndicalist, not a pure-bred anarchist. I know you fall under a formal definition of anarchist, but most of those in that camp probably don't want to have much to do with you.
Different governments work in different situations. I voted Technocracy, but was also tempted to choose Totalitarianism - but just for the purpose of this poll, because totalitarianism really doesn't mean "dictatorship by more than one person", but it means that the state controls all aspects of life.
Constitutional Dictatorship might also be a good idea.

Virtual Democracy is democracy in the extreme. Based on heavy utilisation of computers and networks to allow extreme rights to everyone, and litteraly everyone. Rights to vote often, to make oppinion heard and to discuss, and discussion is what democracy is all about, much more important then even voting.
So, Virtual Democracy may be very Socialist or not. Since people discuss and interact better in VD then now, it should reflect peoples wishes better, after allowing for a wider discussion then now.
It is more a new way to practice politics, then a new political ideology.

This is not true, you don't know what your'e talking about. I am a non-syndicalist Anarchist and have a lot of respect for Anarcho-Syndicalists. The association of Anarchism with choas and the like is pure slander, it has no basis in what we actually believe. Anarchy means "the absence of rulers" not "choas and destruction." In some places the term "democracy" used to be slander in the same way because it was thought that without a Monarch you'd have choas. I suggest you go here and read about what we really believe.
Oh, and BTW, Anarcho-Syndicalism was the most popular form of Anarchism in the 20th century and it remains quite popular among many Anarchists. To say that most Anarchists don't want much to do with Syndicalists is rubbish.
"Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners." - Edward Abbey http://www.anarchyfaq.org
I voted Republic. A government that serves the people under a decentralized government conserted powers to the provinces/states allowing a confederation to be formed, but not a government that has strong central controls. The small central government in my opinion must protect and defend soverignity and the law.
BTW I was never banned, Ming gave me a chance.
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

Gia-pet would probably point out the movements association with terrorism here.
Anyway my favorite government form would have to be Demesos (sp)
I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

No offense ramo or anything, but wasn't it Franco who ruled my country with an iron fist from the 1930s till 1975? I wait for a reply. Franco won the civil war and my grandfather fought in that war on the nationalist side. He was an heavily decorated solider.

Too many to count. I am deeply upsetted about how one can believe in anarchy.

Which was defeated about a year after it was won. Franco was too popular. My Grandfather fought in Catalonia on Franco's side.
