Is it ok for me to say that I believe in Democracy, and think Communism is a waste of time, here?
Because I see a lot of people with Commie Flags in their sigs...

Ok here are a few problems
Communism: Economic system
Democracy: Governmental system
Also: This guild is about Reading and Reading comprehension, not politics; if you want to go harass the neo commies (Which is fun.) you need to go to a guild that's meant for that.

Communism is an economic system meant governing, but I see your point... I know, I just want to watch what I say before I really piss people off...

Communism is not an "economic system meant governing", it is an economic system period. Leninism, Stainism; these are governing systems (and most likely what you are think of)

o_O 1. I think person A is thinking communism, government 2. person B may be thinking consumerism 3. Most important Quote: Also: This guild is about Reading and Reading comprehension, not politics; if you want to go harass the neo commies (Which is fun.) you need to go to a guild that's meant for that. Since when? This guild is a place for intelligent people to come together, true, we mostly discuss literature, but I personally welcome all intelligent conversation.

I was pretty sure that this was a guild about literature, and specifically satire, thus talking about politics in this guild would be similar to talking about fluffy bunnies in thongs in a thread about nuclear physics. But ok ::Shrug::

But ok ::Shrug:: Of course, it's about literature, but there is personal opinion that goes hand in hand with literature, also there exists much literature that has to do with politics, and at that there is also satire that is aimed at the political systems. I strongly disagree with your comparison to bunnies in thongs in a conversation on nuclear physics, because your logic is based upon the slippery slope fallacy. A good fallacy for satire, but not for actual discussion and argumentation.
