You don't understand, their support of lesser fascism is necessary to avoid the greater fascism, so by opposing them you're actually supporting the greater fascism
- I'd accept a viable alternative. Wake me up when we have one.
  
  whoops, world ended
  
  Damn, if only if I had been more moral.
  
  proactive
  
  Show me how I'm not being proactive enough.
  
  Are you currently involved in trying to replace First-past-the-post voting in your state?
  You don't get to tell people they don't get to vote how they want and then do nothing to fix the voting system that is the source of the spoiler effect. We'll, you could if you didn't really care about democracy at all and just want your preference to win at all costs.
  So is it party over country or is your state going yo stop using First-past-the-post voting?
  
  Weren't you being facetious?
  If the world was ending, it wouldn't be because we lacked morals but because we lacked action. I think we agree on what's moral, we just disagree about how much of what action is needed.
  
  Oh yeah, you're right. I lost the thread. Don't mind me, sorry. Im seriously sorry.
- Yup. We need lesser of two in red districts and vote for our ideals in our safe districts to move the part as a whole.
  
  You're replying to a dbzer0 btw.
  
  I'm just so impressed by them. Forgoing all forms of capitalism so they are not totally responsible for the outcomes of capitalist society. It's a principled stance but living in stateless, technology absent, collectives outside the rule of the government is not an easy life.
  
  i love the fact that their science says that the fact that their system has never worked proves that it will surely work next time
  i think i prefer real science
  
  I was talking about this with my wife. I'd live in a socialist or communist run government, at least the one they fantasize about, but I would never live long enough to see it enacted, as leftists envision.
  So in my mind I have two choices that aren't exactly mutually exclusive:
  1.) Openly support communism without thought about what the final outcome of that may actually be because I won't be alive to guide it (as if I'd have much say).
  2.) Just keep working to make the world I live in better
  Both are fine options and I can do both but they would have me chose the former and exclude the latter.
  
  Openly support communism without thought about what the final outcome of that may actually be
  Just keep working to make the world I live in better
  They're the same picture.
  
  Working to make the world you live in better even though you don't know what the final outcome of that work may actually be?
  You're just more confident than I am that liberalism doesn't end poorly
  
  I know surefire improvements we can make to the way things are now better. I don't trust anyone with the authority required to force socialism/communism on a hostile populace.
  So, I'm actually quite reasoned if you were honest with yourself.
  
  I know surefire improvements we can make to the way things are now better
  Yea, me too.
  I don’t trust anyone with ~~the~~ authority
  Yea, me too.
