You aren't sure what would be on twice? But your first two choices are "Communist" and then "Soviet Russia" lol.
So let's try and turn this into a workable thread. Since the OP mentions communism multiple times let's point the discussion that way.
Do you believe Communism is a workable political philosophy? If so, why? We've seen some form of it tried multiple times, and multiple times it has failed. Today's China seems to be the most successful attempt at it.
If you don't believe Communism is a workable philosphy, is that based exclusively on the thinking of the people that make of today's civilization? I.E. - Do you think it could potentially work in the future.
Personally I find communism a fascinating theory. And while I think it is currently unworkable, I do think that civilization may inevitably move in that direction as time goes on. I think it's a philosophy that requires almost wholesale change in the way we as humans think. We'd need to have a near total abandonment of individualism and that way of thinking. I think that's the only real way it can work. It can't be forced on anyone and needs to be accepted by society as a whole.
I think the first real movement towards that style of government will probably come sooner than later and be when the debate about universal basic income becomes a necessary discussion, probably in the near future, as a result of the inevitable growth of automation. I think once that happens and is approved, whenever that may be, we'll start to see more movement in that direction.
I don't know about political parties, but this is how i'd order political ideologies:
1. Liberalism (as in liberal principles, not the colloquial term for the left wing)
2. Libertarianism
3. Conservatism
4. A lot of ideologies in the middle
5. An-cap
6/7 SJW/Alt right
8. Non cap/com forms of anarchy
9. Fascism
10. Naziism
11. ancom
12. totalitarian communism
keep in mind the numbers past 3 would be lower than they are on this list since there are several political ideologies between 3 and 5 I'm either forgetting or blanking on how to order.

Like fascism fascism, or the kind Antifa claims they wanna fight? We gotta be clear lol.I have no idea about the OP's political leaning, not sure if he's brainwashed into agreeing with their definition of fascism.
For the sake of discussion let's say fascism fascism, like Mussolini and Hitler and other Fascist governments that rose in Europe during and around WWII.

So for the sake of discussion we embrace reality, good 👆
Yes because I would like to avoid this thread becoming another thread about antifa and their antics. I think talking about political systems in their historical sense would be interesting and isn't something that really happens on this board much.

I too would like the thread to avoid embracing fantasies 👆
Speaking of Antifa though....which group has killed the most people? Out of all the groups talked about. From what I've learned here the answer to that question is the answer to the question of which is the worst.
