Does Negative Campaigning Affect Your Decision to Vote

[Emperor Devon]

does anyone here actually understand communism?

 

It's Communism, my friend, not communism.

 

As another person with a great interest in political science, (and Communism in particular) I would say I understand it quite well, which brings me to the next sentence:

 

@LIAYD, I would respectfully disagree with your post, but this isn't the topic for it. I'd love to discuss the topic, though.

 

Negative campaigning - don't watch it. I'd like to know why the candidate is so good, not why his/her opponents are so bad. You don't buy a product just because the others are worse. The same goes for politcians.

Of course it effects my decision.

 

I don't vote for disrespectful people that build themselves up by breaking others down.

 

So you don't vote?

"Communism is the best system in the world. It's only the first 300 years that are hell."

 

true, but, as i said that agreed with your point, iF humans were to adopt the less selfish approach to life, and worked for the greater good, then it couldwork. It would obviously have its flaws to begin with, what with the non complying people rebelling. But, as the system explains, those that don't coply eventuually "die out". So that quote is right, it will just take a long time for te result to be achieved. I wouldnt mind living in it, as the results would be better than this so called democracy that we live in now

You mean having no freedom from the Nomenklatura, as opposed to the limited freedoms we have now?

 

Human nature doesn't and won't change. We are an inherently flawed species, and fundamentally predatorial.

 

And predators don't work well for the Common Good.

 

@Herbie: Oh, well then. Perhaps we shouldn't criticise Stalin - he was only doing his JOB.
