I thot it was 451?

!?!?! Uhm, I was referring to the April Fools thing Styxx and I pulled, that replaced "my" with "your", "he" with "she", etc - all over the board. I didn't edit anything of anyones.

Or rather, when I do, I _always_ leave a nice bold red "Edited by Sandwich" type note in the post.

No not wish. I know. Good guys don't massacre about a half a billion people in a matter of some 30 or 40 years. It is quite opposite. We are the good guys, you are bad. And bad guys like you have weapons of mass destruction and you break international laws and conventions We never attacked anyone. We just deffend our great country from terrorists like USA and it's NATO allies, Albanians and everyone else who is foolish enough to try to hurt us. We have a saying here at home. FREEDOM IS PRICELESS!

I DO hope you're kidding.  The communists were never 'good guys' by any means.  The criminal wastes, damages and social chaos perpetrated in the name of that system are horrendous.  You can spout all you want about the US being evil, but I'll take the US any day of the week over the other side in the cold war.

I'm quite sure you don't want this place run in a communist model, do you?

[Styxx]

Tell me, comrade Razor - what would you be willing to give to The Party?

how can you know? as far as I know, communism hasn't been achieved in any country in the world. just as some people do bad things and call it democracy, some people do bad things and call it communism.

Well, we can try.

First, we will no longer have moderators or administrators, in the proletariat all will be equal.

However, since HLP is not yet ready for communism, there will have to be a dictatorship of the proletariat in the interim.

As I led the revolution, it is obvious I have a higher state of revolutionary conciousness, it only stands to reason that I will lead this and thus lead HLP to  communism.

We need a beaurocracy to ensure that everything functions smoothly, oh good, we have a Party, we'll use that.

However, since you're not agreeing with what the Party is saying, you must be an agent of foreign imperialist powers who want us to fail.  As such, I suggest you recant your crimes.  Here, I'll help.

Communism assumes that no one wants to get a one up on someone else.  History has shown us that competition is the chief human instinct.  I mean **** go back to Cain and Able.

It hasn't achieved anything cause it was ran by HUMANS. Humans are corrupt. And in a Communist state there is no room for corruption. Thats why any communist nation/state in this world is doomed to fail.

Now, if it were run by computers I think it could definately work. As long as it isn't a concious computer cause that could get corrupt too.

Communism in its purest form can work. Go read up on the communist system and how it would work if it worked exactly as it supposed to.

One  more thing.  

For centuries there has been war and strife in Italy and what has come out of it?  Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rapheal, the Sistine Chapel etc.

Let's look at switzerland... highly peaceful and fairly socialist what has come out of that country?  The coo coo clock.

Mankind defines itself via conflicts and struggles.  Do we have the 100 year peace?  No.  We have the hundred year war.

Face it communism would fail because mankind does not work that way.  Communism = Utopia.  Now look up what the later means.

Viva la Swiss bank-account!

If mankind defined itsself through struggle then what is Ghandi? What is Budhism? I know that not nearly everyone agrees with those two things but those things define a lot of people.

Also, conflicts does not define PEOPLE it defines GOVERNMENTS. I don't WANT struggle or conflict. It is the urge for peace that defines us. That urge however is something that governments use as a reason for conflict. That is always the reason for war on this planet.

"We want peace. But only in our way!" *BOOM! CHOP! PROPAGANDA*

[Shrike]

Conflict does not necessarily equal war.  Defining onself through competition would probably be a better way of saying it, after all, a lot has come from peaceful competition.

BTW, siggy updated.

Peacefull competition... That sounds about right.

But still, I refuse to believe that struggle and conflict is what defines us.

Also I think you cannot capture in one or two words what definbes us. We are defined by a multitude of things.
