Should democracy get tough on communist party's in the west?

But by him thats the building block for democracy.

God damned English.

If you have trouble posting in English firsthand, maybe try typing what you want to say in Greek into Google translate or something similar and translate it to English then copy and paste it here. Would help us understand your posts more.

Are you kidding me thats even worse google translate can't translate Greek for shit.

Well okay then, have you got anything similar you can use? if not then sorry, just try your best then.

Every individual takes responsibility in his actions, as there will always be consequences.

If recent history teaches us anything, is that being called a "freedom fighter" is a great "do the fuck you want for free card".

To me, that is egoism, actually.

[Death Metal]

That isn't a sentence.

No, the building block for democracy is rule of the majority without oppression of the minority.

Which, going back to the actual topic, is why I am completely against banning political ideologies, or any ideologies for that matter. Because to do so would be oppressing a minority.

Well certainly not the Greek Athenian conception....

To do so would be protecting minorities.

Maybe the Greek Athenian conception is outdated?

[Distruzio]

Such an action would kind of contradict the said purposes of democratic governance... of course, democracists usually have few qualms about such actions in practice.

Nope, freedom of speech and assembly are basic tenets of liberty.

Liberty is not actually synonymous with democracy.

Ah yes, because nothing says protecting minorities like throwing them in prison for the crime of being minorities. I guess the Japanese Internment Camps was to make the Japanese-Americans safer too?

I guess communists are the one people you can suggest murdering or sending to mental institutions en masse on this forum and not get a visit from the mods.

Yup, this place is totally a left-wing echo-chamber

Obviously there's such an inherent left-wing bias that the mods have been forced to ignore the calls for all communists to be regarded as mentally ill and locked up and/or killed lest their left-wing bias be confirmed. If they actually warned people for, you know, inciting crimes against leftists or demanding that all leftists be treated as mentally ill and given "therapy", then their status as a left-wing clique would become apparent.

Nah, you can say that shit about trans people too.

But NSG is "safe."

[Medai]

In a democracy, you can't legally ban a political party unless the party is breaking laws.

[Crumlark]

Should democracy get tough on communist party's in the west is the question, and if so how tough?
I am interested to find out what the members of nation states feel about this. As if the communists ever took power i doubt we could use this site as we do presently. The outlawing of other political party's would i believe occur, swiftly followed by the repression of free speech and expression. Given that the attitude of the communists is my way or the highway( Road of bones- for those who don't understand my pun) should we tolerate them or should we crack down on them as Germany does for example on Nazi ideology.

I am torn between Keeping the status quo or outlawing the party.


EDIT: I went for the quo because i decided that thankfully communism is irrelevant in the modern world.

Unfortunately for you, you have been DREADFULLY misinformed. What you have described is Stalinism, a horribly misshapen type of government that has little to actually do with actual Communism. Communism as a whole is ideal, but there have yet to have been an ideal leader for this situation to occur.

Except there are democracies who do.

Don't forget that time when CTALNH said I should be raped and never got warned for it!




FCC too IIRC.

Doesn't make them not a democracy though.

An illiberal democracy being just a limited or partial democracy, course not. It is a disgrace either way.

[Chestaan]

But the "dear leader" Comrade Stalin would have had you shot, along with tens of thousands and Poles and many members of other nationalities, for your dangerous and counter-revolutionary traitorous views.

No he wouldn't for that matter thats the official opinion of KKE.

That means he would have to shoot all of the communists in Greece.

Well he killed most of them in Russia so I don't see why that would be a problem for him.

[Genivaria]

Only if you hate everything democracy stands for.

Wait what are you Romanov?

If not no I did not say you should get raped in any sense of the word.

If yes bend over...

They're generally called "illiberal democracies", or "semi-democracies".

Not even at the height of the Cold War was the CPUSA banned outright.

[Gaveo]

No, because if democracy "got tough" on Communism (or any ideology for that matter) it wouldn't be a democracy.
