There is no reason a fascist state could not be democratic even if they are very unlikely to have anything we would consider a democracy. But I don't see how you could have it be non military. Without the nationalistic military focus it would just be an oppressive flavor of socialism.

Many would say "With or without the nationalistic military focus, fascism is just an oppressive flavor of socialism". I mean, every Nazi ever claimed fascism to be a flavor of socialism, it's right there in the name!

Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

He's right on socialism Tom - 25/09/2017 12:42:26 AM 633 Views
What about market socialism? Coops are decently popular. Ocean Spray is doing fine. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/09/2017 01:28:19 AM 342 Views
Ocean Spray is not a socialist venture in any way that I can see. Tom - 25/09/2017 01:45:44 AM 704 Views
Sure, by the original meaning of the word. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:22:50 PM 642 Views
People misuse words all the time (cf. ironic). That's their problem. Tom - 25/09/2017 07:25:55 PM 643 Views
I'm making the argument... Legolas - 26/09/2017 07:12:56 PM 730 Views

It's an interesting idea. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 02:19:19 AM 695 Views
Sounds like Singapore to me. *NM* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 02:33:06 AM 324 Views
See, I wouldn't call Singapore democratic. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 05:03:14 AM 568 Views

*shrug* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 01:05:47 PM 591 Views
I think that's a weakness of your spectrum argument, though. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 11:06:16 PM 527 Views
the non military is the further stretch random thoughts - 27/09/2017 02:16:03 PM 620 Views

Hmm. Legolas - 27/09/2017 06:52:46 PM 626 Views
Almost missed this reply, hiding down here. aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 09:40:41 PM 615 Views
Uh. You say no, but what follows makes it sound like yes? Legolas - 27/09/2017 11:42:11 PM 705 Views
You're again making an idiotic argument Tom - 27/09/2017 07:25:36 PM 648 Views
Which you then did your best to prove? Thank you for that, by the way. Legolas - 27/09/2017 09:13:28 PM 684 Views
No, socialist is socialist. What is so hard about that? Tom - 28/09/2017 05:05:27 AM 603 Views

I made the mistake of bothering to try reading a New York Times article Tom - 29/09/2017 12:38:07 AM 783 Views
It was a brilliant speech all around, and you don't understand Trump based on those comments. Tom - 21/09/2017 08:32:29 PM 637 Views
He's doing jack shit. He tells people everything they want to hear, then blames Congress... Legolas - 21/09/2017 08:57:36 PM 684 Views
That's absolutely not what he's doing Tom - 22/09/2017 09:54:34 PM 618 Views
If you say so. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:31:00 PM 669 Views

Yes, the "snowflake" accusation is rather hard to take seriously from people upset about the flag. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/09/2017 08:24:29 PM 287 Views
Let's hold the phone here for a moment.... Jeordam - 26/09/2017 09:07:07 PM 573 Views

I saw a statistic somewhere in an article about the controversy... Legolas - 27/09/2017 06:47:04 PM 562 Views
80% of the players may be black but a similar percentage of the fans are white random thoughts - 28/09/2017 12:59:57 PM 565 Views
Makes sense. But if 80 percent of your players is taking the other position... Legolas - 28/09/2017 06:43:23 PM 870 Views
