Who Should You Vote For

This is just creepy.

 

I have very left-wing views, and according to this quiz I swing hugely towards Obama.

Online quizzes are shit.

Well I am also left wing. But no quiz can tell you who to vote for. Even though I personally state that I must have the same views as the nominee, this isn't the case for everyone. You need to vote for who you think will be the best for this country, and no one can tell you that.

I would if I could vote. Not living in America makes things tricky.

Also, after reading up on their policies (read: reading Wikipedia), I still agree more with Obama.

I have you pegged as a Trotskyist, Steve.

BOB BARR 08!!!

As a bonus his name doesn't contain the letter C!!!

Also, the picture in itself is stupid, because communism(which I think is the main theme thar) is extremely left-wing, whereas McCain/Palin are right-wingers.

The wings are stupid.

Someone should make moar commie propaganda of Barack.

I don't imagine communism being any worse for America than capitalism has been.

Not quite. I consider myself a socialist republican. But yes, I do agree with certain aspects of communism.

Like what?

I read the Communist Party Manifesto, and didn't find any points that I disagreed on where I wasn't almost immediately swayed on. Am I a communist?

Like what?

Like the proletariat being the ruling class, rather than being exploited by the bourgeoisie.

Which one are you referring to?

.... Yes, and in most communist countries they accomplished this by taking over the government with the military and putting the person that controls the military as the head.


Profit!!

There are two types of bourgeoisie, the static (is that the word) bourgeoisie are the landowners and the lords, et cetera, and the other ones are what were once guildmasters, then factory owners, but are now corporation owners.

Please explain why a bad implementation of a concept makes the concept fundamentally bad.

Either type, then.

If a concept has never been successfully implemented, I say it is because there is a flaw in the concept.

Or a flaw in nearly all area where it was implemented. I think that at any civilization reaches a stage where it must choose between being ruled by a bourgeoisie or being a Communist nation. After this decision has been made, it would take a massive political and social upheaval and change of thinking to switch. When Communism was put in place in Russia, it worked for a while then Stalin went all fascist dictator and fucked it up, but it worked and still works in Cuba, which was... backward at the time.

sadly capitalism has worked. It tends to be quite successful. If you want to nitpick about true capitalism, there was never a capatilst manifesto.

So why is there poverty?

Capitalism.

So why is there poverty?

Because, when money is randomly distributed due to supply and demand some people get less money than others. Thankfully when in a capitalist country such as america, the poor live at a much higher standard of living than the poor do in other countries without intense taxation and support from the government.
