That makes it easy in this election. One candidate stole the democratic nomination, so vote for the other for the sake of democracy.

Its mostly theory seeing as the Jew World order took them out before they could implement most of their ideas. You have to look at what the economist and thinkers of the era were talking about. Gottfried Feder was a big influence. The 25 point program and the "historical" thing you are mentioning was like 4-5 years before everything was a wartime economy under Schact. Its not actually answering the question of what NS economics was about. You keep trying to make NS into this pseudo-communist idea of yours. Like I said it was meritocratic. Your idea of a welfare net was for Germans only it wasn't for a parasitic non-producing underclass to be dependent on the state.
damn this ***** cookin em to the third degree

bricks dangerously close to being unloaded from the boat, hope (((Lune))) backs down for his own sake. playing semantics doesn't end well.

"pseudo-communist idea".... with all these f2p mmo's now (I don't play them :P ) has anyone tried modeling one on socialism? Oh what fun... I can just imagine hehe

Like daily... mostly ... sometimes ... the server automatically deposits a welfare check into your bank account, a few copper pieces ... or made out of some metal anyway (led?). Your characters gotta eat, so you log in daily, stand in a bread line for 4 hrs for your daily quest and hope they have enough bread pixels left so you can get some.

If they run out of bread, you sneak out of the ghetto zone, into the swamp zone near by looking for some slugs or a rare snail, and hope you don't get spotted and guard whacked.

Snail shells are good drops after eating the insides raw, if you collect enough shells you can trade them for a piece of string or a button, maybe craft with them one day.

After half a day of farming a virtually barren swamp where nothing hardly spawns and is usually picked clean, you head back to your house, which is more like a small utility shack where eight other people share rent with you. You log and wait for the next welfare check to maybe bribe some players to get further up in the quest que line next time.

I'd imagine there would be no way to level-up, the point is just not to die, which likely will come by the tip of a guards club, or starvation.

To be fair, this socialism would be set 20 years after the revolution, when it's run out of everybody else's money.

Actually, the current MMO design paradigm is highly Marxist in nature and thats exactly why they're failing. Not as far as the in-game economy as you suggest, but rather the design which is driven by philosophies of entitlement. This has led to them lacking any sense of achievement for most adult players.

Where our success in old mmos was mostly born out of hard work, time spent, skill of play as well as social skills, today mmos are full of systems that enable even the worst of players to succeed.

That quiz was very inaccurate. The questions were easily worded so that anyone with half a brain could alter their outcome to what they were trying to represent. Just because, x value was negative 1 and the y value was 0 for me.

Make your own test then. There are multiple similar test and the outcomes will be similar. Have you heard of the Disgust Sensitivity Test? It claims that with 27 non-political questions it can guess your affiliation between Repub or Dem. There is a lot of science behind it (several reputable published studies from various universities). Its pretty interesting if you want to give it a go.

We only need a large government now to combat the marginalizing forces of greed. In the future, entitlement programs and their execution could be simplified so much with a universal base income.

This needs its own thread. I'll do it later if nobody else is up for it. I was awarded 69 percent liberal for my responses and was branded a democrat for it :c Happy to not be a republican, but not at the expense of being a democrat. We need a third less retarded scale.
