Communism may be extremist, yes, but it isn't an ideology based on ultranationalism, imperialism, and racism like Nazism is. If they were just normal nationalist traditionalists with a corporatist economic outlook, they'd be regular fascists.

Of course, I'm still not sure we should abuse the Security Council to raid them. If nothing else it could be a dangerous precedent, especially if people take it to imply they can try and liberate-raid other regions based on ideology.

Nazi regions deserve to be raided and shut down for promoting racism, antisemitism, homophobia, and imperialism. So I would oppose this resolution.

Maybe it sets a bad precedent, but I don't give a damn because it upsets me that much that people are so willing to create "nazi" nations, poisoning this game with the worst ideals humanity has to offer.

Yeah, I don't really like Communists myself, but since I'm in a Slavic/Eastern European I have to get along with them.
Religious fundamentalists are fine by me though.

I think the reason that fascism gets hit with legislation like this is because the main thing that fascism is associated with today is Nazi Germany, and the main thing Nazi Germany is associated with is the Holocaust. Neither Communism or religious fundamentalism is so strongly associated with genocide in most people's minds.

Relating to NS though, the fascists on NS seem to me to be a highly intolerant group of people who consistently flame those who they disagree with and demand that they be tolerated. That does not help people overcome their anti-fascist feelings, in fact, it probably strengthens them.

Except that their beliefs alone aren't valid grounds to justify a "liberation". Would you agree that The Internationale should be "liberated" because a lot of people don't like the ideals of communism/socialism/anarchism either?

No, for a couple reasons. First because the Internationale is just that, a conglomeration of different beliefs, and doesn't support a unified and historically genocidal political movement. Second is because being a communist/socialist/anarchist isn't the same as being a racist and antisemitic piece of s**t.

Well I am myself Half-Polish and I associate Communism with Gulags, Mao, terror and Stalin and I associate religious fundamentalism with Breivik, islamism, Saud-Arabia, Crusades and Sharia. I'd prefer a Bill or proposal where the world assembly would define Extremism and liberate (even if I am mostly against it) Extremist regions. I don't understand why some groups have a special treatment and while other don't. I reject the idea of double-standarts and it are not only the fascists who constantly flame those who disagree with them, but (in my case) mostly the communists.

To be fair, NE is not just fascist, but explicitly Nazi.
Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.

The Thing to Remember About NationStates is that it is an almost entirely social game - fundamentally, you have no power beyond your own ability to convince people to go along with your ideas. In that sense, even the most dictatorial region is fundamentally democratic.

So a region should burn for something one of its delegate's did a long time ago, against the will of the rest of the region, for all time? That's taking guilt by association a we bit far, no?

Actually, our name is Nazi. The inhabitants are not. Some of us espouse some sort of fascism, and if memory serves there are a few who espouse the economic portions of national socialism, as opposed to the racial aspects, but that's it. The Nazis as y'all are thinking of them all left NE a long time back, out of disgust at our lack of ideological purity.

This wanton misuse of the Security Council should at least be responded to with some form of justification. Instead, all you've done is responded like a child to criticism. That's unbecoming of someone who feels they should be seen with a modicum of credibility, and frankly, it's extremely annoying. Your immaturity is making this look more and more like GCRs are just using their collective influence to pass unpopular measures, and therefore you don't need to respond to legitimate concerns. Although I'm sure you don't care.

To pass unpopular measures? Hardly. It passed with about double the votes against it. Justification has been given many times. Many of you are too blind to read it, and instead respond with useless rants about abuse of the Security Council.

The Delegates involved used the mechanisms of the Security Council to assist in getting this vote passed. I'm sure when it was one of your many resolutions it wasn't exploitation of the GA or SC, when Delegates voted in favor of it to assist its passing? Typical, selective criticism. I'll keep that in mind the next time you abuse the World Assembly to get one of your proposals passed.

The simple fact is that Delegates are entitled to vote on resolutions in any way they like. Some regions put laws around this to obligate the Delegate to vote a certain way. GCR Delegates like any other regional Delegate are entitled to vote on any resolution, any way they like. It's not abuse of the SC. It's simply how WA Voting works.

Unpopular measures? The resolution passed by a fairly large majority.

If NE wasn't Nazi, you wouldn't be doing this, Mad Jack. Even if only because you knew it wouldn't pass.

It's a bit more complicated than that, Cerian. We all joined for one reason or another a long time back. I know at least one of our members joined as a Neo-Nazi and had a chance of heart. I joined because I was a history buff. Regardless, we that remain do so because it has been home for so long.

EDIT: Forgot I was signed in under this puppet. This is Greg.
