your shitting me. I can play starfeild on the deck? How?! Those system requirements were not small.

That is a good point. It's a really interesting application of the tolerance paradox. This is some good perspective I'm getting, glad I made this comment thread.

See that's how you fuckin do it. I've always been angry with the US for holding Cuba back. I would love to see where they would be now without the sanctions.

This was an enlightening comment and I appreciate it. I may not agree with all of it but it definitely shows there are some perspectives I haven't considered. A parliamentary or council type system could definitely provide enough representation of different working class communities within a single party. I wonder if they had term limits, or if their representatives would fall into the same hole as the US Congress.

Not saying it is a fair exchange, you are correct. But do keep in mind the wording in the definition is "often". My suggestion of replacement was to emphasize that race is not a requirement to the definition, it's just pointing out that it is usually the characteristic used to define who is the most loyal or desired type of citizen. From what I understand party loyalty could be definitely be applied there.

I'm confused, are you saying he's using it wrong?

Here's a copy paste from Webster.

often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

Replace the word race with party and you've got an incomplete yes, but not necessarily inaccurate description of Stalins USSR.

Seriously not trying to just be a troll or shill here, so if you feel I'm wrong please let me know how and why. I am legitimately, in good faith, curious about the perspectives of some communist here. It is an ideology I am somewhat interested in.

Yeah, cruel fact about humanity. All these great technologies could give us luxury space communism in 100 years or so, but that won't happen. Shitty people will be shitty and these technologies will be used for shitty purposes or intentionally stunted.
