Bugs are you one of those anarchoautonomous guys who paint giant phaluses on their voting cards and then put them in the envelop?

No. It's far more productive to paint liquid LSD on the ballot paper. That's why the Woodspring constituency hasn't followed national trends at the last two General elections.

Yup, they do.
Although the Socialists long stay in power is not necessairily because of their ability to run things better (again huge different opinions on this one) but because the right wing has been suppresing the left wing for so long in Greece with the help of various outside little helpers of course


Now it is very polorized but not in an intensive way, thank god.

Nearly half of Greece is right, the other half left

I think that we should keep to the goals of public ownership of all companies and property

Communism did not work because of a few reasons.

1. Dictator leadership. Absolute power corrupts. Stalin was worse than Hitler in terms of brutality towards peoples.

2. No reward for innovation. If you invent something in America, you patent it and become rich. In Communism, you don't. Where's the incentive to innovate?

3. No freedom. Believe or not, but freedom is the most important concept in the modern world. Freedom drives the US, and is the strongest incentive to fight oppression. Without freedoms, there is dissent.

4. No personal wealth. This goes back to the reward idea. In America, if you work, even a mediocre job, for 30 years, saving your money, you can retire and enjoy the wealth you have accumalated. In the Communist system, you work for 30-40 years and retire to nothing.

5. No possibility for change/reform. In the US, if the majority of the people don't like something about the government, they vote, and force change (i.e. John Locke). In the Communist system, the people have no voice.

That and the rampant corruption that tends to accompany it.

Ah yes. There are always plenty of tools hanging around in the communist state, because they're not actually being used.

Not much, I´m off to bed. Yes, I know it´s only 23.30, but I´m dog tired

[MrFun]

I'm bored, so I thought I would stop by.

I'm not a communist, but I'm not anti-communist either -- not interested in joining.

Just thought I would spy on you guys, to get to the secret of your propaganda system.

[Giancarlo]

Ahhhh! Commies... *throws petrol bomb*
