This is a puppet accnt of Souriya Al-Assad, one of few puppet accounts I shalt ever utilise. However keep in mind neither accounts shalt ever interact with one another in-character wise, since this would be puppet-wank, something I am never going to be involved in. Thus please do me the favour of not forcing a situation that would involve both accounts in the same thread whether by accident or any other reason since I would like to follow site rules, thank you.

That is completely false! If Communism was missing one thing (which was it being unattainable) I would be a MASSIVE advocate of Communism, and I think so would everyone else, but the idea is corrupted by human greed. Look at all Communist countries: the idea was to create less government result = more government-control than ever before, even in Nazi Germany! That is haut one example of how COMMUNISM IS A FAILURE, AND, it always results in the deaths of millions, even in tiny countries!

Constitutional Representative Democracy.

Also, I'd like to point out, if I may, that anarchism cannot be the perfect form of gov't because it necessitates dismantling the state.

one which is not usurped by economics, but otherwise stays out of the way as best it can, while justifying its existence to the fullest extent of the cost of that existence. there is no one magic ideology, policy or formula.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

"economic freedom" is "the cake"

I am going to agree with Belique of course. Also I see this man is a die hard Leninist or Marxist because he isn't Stalinist. Stalinist are more authoritarian even the other 2 fail too.

The USSR wasn't sabatoged. Communism is an extremist ideology that just doesn't take basic human nature into account. It's a classical case of something that is beautiful in theory, but is broken in practice.

I think Socialism is a lot more of a viable option.

Which aspect of human nature are you referring to?

I'm sure you're well-informed on the subject, yes?

The state however =/= Governments

Depending on the anarchist you talk to, some are not opposed to certain forms of governments, but most, AFAIK, are opposed to the state.

Hmm. Yes, Panarchism. A rather more obscure term.

I'm referring to the aspect of greed and power-hunger (for a lack of better word).

To a degree yes I am.

I still think a small government Fascist State is the best. Fascism is right in the sense peace is impossible and war is good but I don't believe in all the authoritarian-totalitarianism so I go with a small government Fascist State. Anyone have anything against this (besides pacifists).

War isn't good. I'm not a pacifist, but mindless militarism and nationalism isn't good. Combine that with Xenopboia and Right-Wing Totalitarianism and you got a recipe for disaster.

How can Fascism possibly have a small government?

Tell me?

You have never heard about "containment", neo-colonialism, under-development, the IMF, the World Bank, economic sanctions, the contras amongst other death squads, covert operations, anti-Communist purges, coup d'états, five decade+ long embargoes on Communist nations such as Cuba or Best Korea, amongst other manners Capitalist-Imperialist governments have destabilised or attempted to squash Communist, or Communist-derived countries I suppose?

But if you have the nation focused on war and the like the people won't argue about non important things like welfare and tobacco smokers. They will be focused on the war along with the government, so the people and the government won't be focusing on ruining each others life.

Yes. Its also the time that saw bloody wars against Communist countries, saw the utilisation of brutalising death squads such as UNITA or the contras to "stop Communism", or ruthless economic sanctions draining the life out of Communist countries. I apologise, however the truth is, our Capitalist governments are criminals that want to put the blame for their actions on their victims.

Authoritarianism is a fundamental aspect of fascism. What you are describing is more along the lines of militaristic neo-tribalism, though why the hell you would ever find such a nightmarish condition ideal is beyond me.
