If we were all cloned and exactly had exactly the same brains yes. But we are not, some are brighter than others, some are better looking exc. Someone always has to/wants to be in charge. It's just human nature. Life isn't fair, it's just something you have to get used to. There is no point trying to make it fair. :smile:

yeah, great ideals n all, and atm if labour is meant to b left wing then my socialist heart is definately communist.
to the point, ne1 thought abt being a commie etc?

oh, and fo u think communism cud ever work?

Labour aren't the socialists they once were, their position has become fuzzy. I'd say, they're more of a centre party.

Don't let what they represent influence you, in terms of turning from a socialist into an out and out communist. Considering they probably don't really represent pure socialism, it'd be illogical to do so.

Perhaps yes. It's open to interpretation.

The reason I reserve from saying centre-right, is because I don't think Tony Blair necessarily is representative of the party. Should Gordon Brown takeover, I'd imagine Labour would become more true to its roots.

communism is, in theory, the ideal way to run a country. But the theory doesnt factor in two problems: humans are all different, and we are all selfish. Not everyone is willing to work as hard as they can for "the greater good", and we dont like being forced to do what those above us tell us to do.

Basically, communism is too good for us. :cool:

Can we stop the thread now

All that is going to happen for the next few pages is people saying

'Works in Theory, Not in Practice'

The majority of these people will have failed to ever read something such as the 'communist mainfesto' or have a signifcant grasp of any area surrounding political systems (all though some will - these will be a tiny minority)

End of thread.

*goes to bookshelf, gets his copy of the communist menifesto n sticks out his tongue at the monitor*
also, communism does work on a small scale, farms n stuff, they proven sucesses, corruption of the ideals only occur on mass

It's flawed as an ideal surely? It's grossly inefficient.
