Welcome to Gaia! ::

First off, I would like to tell you that if you
flame me for being a communist, I will own
you in a hate mail fight and post about it
in my profile. So please, do so only if you
want to get owned.
Second, please read this whole thing.
I worked hard on it, and thought it is long,
the length was required.
Now, this post is kind of long, so I will
divide it into two parts: background and
the basics.
The background goes into detail as to
why I changed my views to the point
I can call myself a Quasi-Communist
and also has a bit of back story about
things in my life that also influenced the
decision.
The basics part describes my beliefs
and what they would accomplish.
Part I
First off, Liberal Quasi-Communism seems
like a self-defeating ideal, but in fact it
isn't.
I recently lost faith in the people of America
to keep democracy as a plausible form of
government in the United States.
People take it for granted, and it really pisses
me off. It seems like the present day makes
EVERYONE a victim of something.
"Oh, I didn't get that job! He didn't give it to me
because I am a 5th generation Honduran!"
"I didn't know coffee was hot! McDonald's didn't
tell me!"
"Well I didn't think that riding my bike in the dark
with no added lighting was more dangerous!"
All of those are real cases of people claiming to be
victims.
Then you have people who abuse things like welfare
and all, bullshitting diseases and conditions, and people
who take things like the ADA [Americans With Disabilities
Act] way too far.
People who say that Drug Addictions are disabilities
and get $500 welfare checks every week so they can
go get more drugs. One guy I saw interviewed said
Guy:Well, obviously the government doesn't want me to
work, man. You know? I have been tryin to get a job
but the people don't want me to work, man.
Host:Well, how many jobs have you applied for
in the past.... month?
Guy:One, man.
That really pissed me off.
And then there were the 'Infamous Four' as I have
dubbed them.
These four people had cushy jobs at a nice place in
New York or New Jersey who claim they developed
something like "Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome" due
to where they worked. They also expected the whole
place revolve around them as their "reasonable
accommodations".
The business first had an environmental inspector
come in and inspect the whole building. The inspector
found nothing our of the ordinary, but he said there
might have been a problem with the air ducts. The
company paid to have the air ducts cleaned or
replaced or something like that. The employees
still complained, and the environmentalist said it
might have been the carbon paper that many
businesses use to duplicate records, so the company
started using a copier for EVERYTHING. The employees
said that that meant all of the old records, a warehouse
room of just carbon paper, needed to be copied too.
The company did it and the employees still complained.
Then they complained that the smell of the ink
and toner from the copies made them sick, so they
demanded that EVERY copied document be stored
in a separate warehouse for 24 hours before being
given to them. However, they still complained when
the company complied. They were then given a special
office with hard floors, a special $300 or $3000 vent
just for them, humidifiers and dehumidifiers, air
purifiers and so on, but they still complain of problems
with their condition. They want a separate building all
to themselves or they are threatening to sue the
company for $8,000,000. Thing is, many doctors
wonder if their condition even exists!
Then you get the people who think these kinds of Americans
are stupid, lazy shits who should gripe all of the time.
One guy I saw was (I believe) a Jamaican immigrant.
He said that when he came to the US, he applied for
many jobs. There was one where he walked in and the
hiring person saw him and said "You aren't the kind of
person I am looking for."
Period.
The guy didn't sue anybody or complain, he just went
out and applied for more jobs. Eventually he got a job
that he was very happy with.
Or, there was a blind man I saw who had a nice, good
paying job. Every day he would commute to work by
himself and get to his desk without any help. The
company made him reasonable accommodations; he
had a Braille keyboard and phone, etc. In the long run
he became one of the company’s top employees.
When asked about people who complain that they are
discriminated against all the time, he said he thought it
was ridiculous that they would say that when obviously
they could get a job somewhere.
Then there is me. Last August I had an illicit sexual
relationship with my neighbor, another guy. When his
parents got home, he told them I raped him, when
all that happened was me blowing him and a bit of
kissing. His parents, being good, practicing Catholics
immediately believed him, disregarding the fact that
he was a pathological liar, and filed a police report.
He was one month younger than me, so they made
it seem like I had raped a little kid, and he also has
some sort of obscure mental disability. It's nothing
you could possibly notice by just being around him
and it is not something that affect his judgment, but
they weren't going to tell the police that.
I was labelled from then on. The kid and his family
seemingly told everyone that they knew about
'Chris, the gay high school ***** who molests
mentally challenged kids'.
His parents know many business owners in the area, so
I have no doubt many of them were told this and
believed it.
I have applied for 10 to 15 jobs in the area, and I
don't doubt I have been denied at least 5 or so because
of this.
I haven't sued anybody. I haven't given up. I plan
on applying for another job sometime tonight.
It's all about trying again when you fail.
If you go out into the world looking for opportunity
you will find it.
If you go out into the world looking for discrimination
you will find it, too.
Part II
Just so you know, many of these things will seem
a bit radical if you didn't read the first part. If you
didn't, please go back and do so; it took a good
bit of time to write it.
The Liberal part concerns my views in the 'Democracy'
of America. If you don't know what a liberal is, either
Google it or Wiki it. If you know what Google'ing is,
but not Wiki'ing, Google Wiki'ing. If you know what
Wiki'ing is, but not Google'ing, Wiki Google'ing.
If both are alien to you, and you aren't Amish, then
go die in the Pit of Ignorance. (AKA the Chatterbox.)
But I digress.
By Quasi-Communist, I think that Communism would
be required in the US for a period of time.
To make a short story Extended (ED, remember)
I will go into more detail.
I think that because many of the people of America
are taking advantage of their privileges, they need
to be shown what they should be doing.
For the government to perform its duty of ensuring
the well-being of the peoples of the US, it needs to
take drastic action.
By some unknown quick means, or by the usual slow
ones, we need to change to an essentially Communist
country. We need to have one social class; go and
find some way to evenly spread the money of the
US to the people. Then we need to redefine the ADA
and welfare eligibility and procedures.
The ADA should cover only those with a disability that
could severely harm their ability to work. The 'chemical
sensitivity syndrome' mentioned above gave the people
headaches. Well, I can do desk work with a headache.
They also need to make it so you have to absolutely
need welfare to get it.
If someone absolutely can not get a job, and they try their
best for x months and can provide proof (applications, etc.)
that they have been trying but met no success, then the
government could put them to work doing extra things that
they need done. Instead of handing some guy a $500 check
every so often so he can sit on his a** and do drugs, make him
go out and do things like community service. Now, if some guy
is a convicted murderer or something, you obviously wouldn't
have him helping out at the Old Folks' Home. You could have
him working on the side of the road, cleaning up or something.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, if you have a guy who
wasn't given jobs for no apparent reason but he tried hard
nonetheless, give him/her a nicer job.
If someone doesn't want to try to work, then so be it. Let them
starve.
After a few years of this, the government could go back to
a Democracy.
What would this achieve?
Well, people would realise that they had it really well before
the Communism period, and will then be motivated to actually
work.
Companies could go to paying more for their workers and
so on (the money situation wouldn't change in the transition
from Communism to Democracy, no matter what each person
had before. Bill Gates would have as much money as John
Doe who lived in a shanty) and eventually the social classes
would redevelop, and the country would be all the better
afterwards.
Now, this would probably have to cycle every two or three
hundred years back to Communism, unless the country
as a whole is doing well.
Now here is one spot where the Liberal part comes in. As the
country switches to Communism or as it switches back to
Democracy, pot should be legalised. This would help a lot
with the drug problem in the US. I mean, how many illegal
pot dealers would you find if people could buy pot legally?
Definitely not enough to cause drug turf wars.
Also, if the welfare system stayed the same, abuse of it
would no longer be an issue.

Well, that’s it for this post.
Assuming it could be instituted*, I was just
wondering what Gaia thinks of the whole
thing, why it would/wouldn't work, things
that could be improved, and so on.
(Also, please try to be intelligent. I plan
on spending most of the rest of my night
here, unless something else comes up.)

*The reason I say that is the fact that if I don't, 90% of the posts will say simply "That couldn't happen"

Format your posts right, damn. I'm not reading that pillar of poor composition.
