I know that "maly-sth" means small in every Slav language, and "nemec" is always German. I know that from both Polish and Slovak, so it just had to be the same in Russian

The difference is that I used the word on a board whether that language is allowed and they used it on a board where such language is banned. Also the particular word I am querying is a little stronger than the one I rightly referred to you as.

And I still think you are a ****.

The word human nature is useless. Human nature can be changed (by you yourself if you give it a shot). The word human nature is just an excuse, a way for many people to rationalize things they haven't bothered to understand.

Democratic communism is both redundant and wrong at the same time, totalitarian communism in an oxymoron. After all, you think the communists in Russia called themselves totalitarian? Communism isn't a government, it's a way of life.

Communism starts in the person and it will work well if you make it work well, whether your rulers are letting you vote or sending you to Siberia. It's just that if they're sending you to Siberia, then they are not communist.

Most ideally you wouldn't even have any rulers at all, then everything above wouldn't even matter.

As a side note, communism can also be different depending on how you look at it. You could call America more communist that Russia ever was, and that is not a bad thing (I don't mean oppression and limiting of rights, I mean closer to the what we take as our ideals, whatever they may be).

No answer is clear, no answer is right though so it's pointless to argue about it.

Ok there's my rant for the hour


I wasnt refering to Marxist communism. I was refering to the concept of communism that everyone I know has, IOW, Soviet communism....

Communism is not a way of life, it is an economic system, like capitalism, that has profound effects on peoples ways of life

What are you talking about when you say democratic-communism is redundant and all that. Communism isnt a government, it is a economic system. It is possible to have communism with pretty much any concievable government - though in marxist communism it should be with a leaderless government, where everyone has the same amount of power. This is probably why you thought i was being redundant, but, again, like mosst everybody who generally refers to communism, I wasn't refering to Marxist communicm.

Sheesh.... Perhaps a little less hostility in the future please, unless you are certain you completely understand what someone was trying to say.

DICTIONARY.COM!!!!!!!!!

Wow..... I see. I looked it up a few months ago too, just for fun.

Well first of all, dictionary.com is no more right than the people who run it, and second of all, you can't put something so subjective, personal, and large into a little statement in a dictionary.

If you're gonna stick to the dictionary average ignorant definition of communism then why not call it fascism or something?


I don't know if I can still call myself communist the way you see it, but thinking about communism took me through atheism to faith, of the religious kind. I changed my own perception of it, I found out why so many people I knew told me that communism was just so similar to a religion. Communism has a lot more to do with spirituality (paradox) than it does with economy.
