I've banned RealMeal, I don't think I can ban television shows in a conservative country.
I'm some 17 year old psuedo-libertarian who leans to the left in social terms, is fiercly right economically, and centrist in foriegn policy. Unapologetically Pro-American, Pro-NATO, even if we do fuck up (a lot). If you can find real sources that disagree with me I will change my opinion. Call me IHOP cause I'm always flipping.

You can ban a News network. There are plenty to choose from.

We've banned... Certain shows in America before. Please, for the good of the world, just Ban HarkCo.

You know, a lot of jobs are on the line...
Also, GNN has done nothing that would give you a good reason to ban it.

Actually, With the economy nationalized, that won't be a problem. Most African nations are exploited by the west, once I take over, I'll get all the profits made from exports. I'll pay the locals a larger share so they will be better off and keep realmeal in power. If someone has a problem with that, they can go ahead and invade. GNN will tear them apart... and banning News corporations isn't a good idea in the modern world...


The Problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money


But the good part is, you can make enough money on your own to live without needing other people's money.

Other then being Realmeal's puppet.

You realize that, IRL, Jordan is technically an Absolute Monarchy, right? What Abdullah says, goes.

Kinda like Congo Free State. In which Africans were Worked to death to make Belgium money. If it was possible to make this much money, this quickly, without killing people, Europe would have never decolonized.

Nope.
That's state capitalism.
People often confuse the 2.
What realmeal plans is also state capitalism.
Socialist reforms intend to give power to the workers, not the state.

All Socialist states known eventually turned to State Capitalism. Being Socialist, even in name, will get many people in America yelling to liberate it.

No Socialist states known turned to state capitalism. The ones you talk about weren't socialist in the first place. They just claimed they were socialist to get popular support...

Its a good idea to search your name whenever you skip 10 pages of OOC to see if anyone replied while you were away...

Unlike many, I don't pop on and ask someone to fill me in. I do actually read the previous 10-20+ pages since I was last on. But I don't always catch everything.

Screw it, I'll just wait for the OP to come on a and see that a Fast Food chain had taken over a chunk of Africa and is somehow, despite all logic, turning it into the perfect Socialist state.

When did I say that RealMeal plans to turn any place into a perfect socialist state?
All I said is that Foreign companies in the countries will be nationalized...

This seems to be turning into an argument. Every time I check the ooc, it's gone to arguments over petty things. Therefore, I shall be pulling out of the RP.

But its a creative discussion!

Anyways, cant the country just point out who GNN is funded by?
2% of all Internet users would cry if Facebook broke down. If you are part of that 98% who simply would sit back and laugh, copy and paste this into your sig.
