Aww, you listened

Autocracy at its best lol. Bring back Ireland's Finest

You mean the Stalinist too cowardly to stand for election because he was afraid of losing?

He actually won a CP election when he ran. So your argument is invalid.

Also, why don't you run for CP and show us how it is done?

I was simply refering to the one candidate politics most parties have at the moment and also making a slight dig at Ireland's finest for bringing forth this mess lol.

The mess started thanks to the two CPs after the Dictatorship.

Can't say anything bad about the current people in charge.

How was eUK's total lack of participation UKSF's fault? If we are gonna start attributing blame, you might wanna start looking closer to home PalaceDom...

It's a shame UKSF wasn't willing to lay down as much damage/CC to defend the eUK from invasion as he did to keep the dictatorship for an extra couple of days.

Of course, if in 18 months times the UK happens to be swiped then Keith will blame UKsF for that too.

Isn't a Stalinist basically a communist of which Keith claims to be?? Is Keith also cowardly for not standing for CP election??

Also, since Keith has branded a fellow Stalinist a nazi in the past then does this mean Keith is also a nazi??

1) Stalinists are a subset of communists, therefore it is entirely possible to be a communist without being a Stalinist.

2) Stating that one person is cowardly for not standing for election as CP does not equate to a statement that all people who do not stand for election as CP are cowards.

3) Stating that one person is a Stalinist and is also a Nazi does not equate to a statement that all Stalinists are Nazis, even if your underlying contention that because someone is a communist they are also a Stalinist was correct, which it isn't (see point 1).

Someone didn't learn basic logical reasoning at school, did they.

He is a coward because he wanted to be President. He was quite happy to bully his way into the position. He was also quite happy to run for President when the pirates were winning elections.... not so much now....

Run for CP, Keithunder.

When I wanted to be leader - I became leader.
When I wanted to be formidable in the Air - I fought.
When I wanted to be self sufficient - I bought companies.

I set us up to have an extra 20Kcc a day and positioned us nicely for the geopolitical changes that the new rules bought. I trialled a number of methods in communication and made sure the country was active and involved.

Y'all elected a drunk to replace me and somehow that's my fault!

..........unless you're blaming me for handing power back to the ballot box and thus forcing you to make bad choices in which case - fair enough.

While I am aware of the "a

@Jiminy

While I am aware of the "alessthanb but bslashequala" fallacy, within the framework of eRepublik then the distinction is zero. If either you or Keith can explain how a Stalinist CP would do things differently than a generic communist CP if elected as CP in this game then I will amend my original comments. If we were having a debate about politics in the real world then I would be more careful with distinctions.

As you have bitten to my comments, could you clarify as to what UKsF did that could be considered distinctly "Stalinist" in policy? And where applicable why it isn't generic communism.

Every communist country started with a revolution or civil war with all future leaders being elected by fixed elections. In quite a lot of the future elections there was no official opposition as people who disagreed with their communist comrades had a habit of disappearing in the night.

I didn't use the term "Stalinist" to refer to UKSF. I just disagree with your statements that "Stalinist" and "communist" are the same thing, or the bizarre leap that because someone has been called both a nazi and a Stalinist, all communists are therefore Nazis. Sorry if it was inconsiderate of me to deconstruct your rhetoric.

I was referring to what UKSF and Stalin did in common, which was rule as a dictator. I already deleted that comment because I didn't use the term "Stalinist" to describe UKSF and I don't believe that UKSF's rule was comparable to Stalin's (other than in that they were both dictators).

Since it's been referenced now, my deleted comment was just "Stalin was a dictator not a democratically elected president"

UKSF was more Pinochet...

It was Keith who called UKsF a Stalinist otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it. And you are deconstructing my words using distinctions that the game doesn't recognise. Within erepublik, communism and Stalinism and Leninism and so forth are the same thing for all sense and purposes.

In the game, there's no such thing as Stalinism, Leninism, or communism, there's only Left, Centre-Left, Centre, etc... References to Stalinism, Leninism, or communism are therefore references to the real world, not to eRepublik. Within the game, Stalinism is the same thing as a milk bottle to all intents and purposes, as neither one exists.

Ah a milk bottle, for the masses of childish minds, with a big nipple on the top.

Indeed, but we use these terms to get a handle on the person, to give context to what they're saying and to remind people of what they stand for, even when what they say doesn't match up with what they'll do - and why. For example, when someone refers to someone as green, it's to say their viewpoint is poorly thought through, naive, single track, etc.

Similarly when we refer to someone as left we mean someone who's standing to the left, looking out of the Overton window and seeing only a view of the far right, they can't even see the far left. They love policy and ideas and caring for classifications of people.

It should be obvious that when we refer to commies, it's a catch-all for those who stand on top of the pile of bodies sacrificed on the alter of social engineering and claim they can't see any body who ever suffered under communism.

That's the problem with language, isn't it? Different people mean different things by it. You seem to have one definition of Communism, I have another. What one person calls "pushing the button of sensibilites", another person calls "being an arsehole". I think recent events have proven how easy it is for misunderstandings to occur when people are talking at cross purposes so it's good that you've provided your definition of those terms, as long as you're aware that they don't match everyone's else's definitions.

He died recently if you must know it is none of your business .. you are a disgusting piece of work .. you really have gone too far this time

You are the one bringing him and his disgusting tattoos up. Now you are faking his death in order to score points. You really are a sick individual.

I'm sad to hear that, Keith, from what I know about your father he seemed like a kind and honorable man and we will surely miss his efforts in securing the existence of our people and a future for white children.

Do you two really support David Lane, a member of a terrorist organisation who participated in the cowardly shooting of a Jewish radio personality, or are you just using the "14/88" thing for it's shock value? Serious question.

I'm sure not JiminyChristmas, it's the same reason I for my ava and many others things ppl say. If it's going to get people moist between the legs when we say something, you're being baited is hilarious. Nobody hates people (except the left, who love ideology...), it's just about bringing into question peoples beliefs by pushing the buttons of sensibilities.

You can relax Keithunder, not everyone is passing judgement, I've got absolutely no idea who your dad is (I mean I barely know you past a 55x55px cat face). From what has been said in this thread, it sounds like he was some supporter of a faction or had some darker history, so fricken what. The problem with the vast majority of people is an inability to appreciate that they're not special or holy for arriving at a certain set of decisions that form what is understood to be life choices. We're all a product of our environment and the decisions of others. Once people realize that everyone is a logical agent - that we don't make actually irrational choices, just seemingly from the onlookers perspective, you're forced to conclude that everyone is operating to the best intentions and abilities that they poses.

I'd argue that those that can't understand how, under the right circumstances, they could have been a nazi guard in a concentration camp or a jew loading the furnaces or a conspirator in bed, literally or figuratively, with 'enemy' forces; Completely miss understood the warning of history. It's not about measuring the citizens skull dimensions against the SJW perfect model for fascist deviations, it's about keeping the yard that is our own mind clean of all forms of polarized dogmatic rhetoric be it political, religious, etc.

Preempting the likely calls for no rl, this 'game' more than anywhere should be likely to hold a rich body of players who appreciate politics and wish to expand and test their ideas. This is a safe environment (words don't cause actual pain, and your ideas shouldn't hurt you if not mirrored), it's not like face to face where fisticuffs, demonetization, de-legitimization are common place.

@Jiminy, I use it for shock value.

I see you're in the anger stage of mourning, so I understand that it's the grief that is talking and you don't really mean it. I'm here for you if you need to talk, bro.

Well I'm glad Roachford will take a shift of holding an olive branch for the the thunder pigeon to land on. Seriously mate, nothing in what I've said should trigger a reaction like that, unless you had a seriously messed up relationship with him, in which case you know I/we don't know about that, so you can't reasonably expect anyone to accommodate it. I'm leaning in Wayne's direction, that you're owning the right to play it as a card in whatever direction you feel is beneficial. Like I said, I don't know, but the way you're behaving, suggests you need to lay some demons to rest in your own soul.

Feel free to piss, defecate or jizz on my dead relatives. They chose to be cremated, so feel free to aim downwind to save yourself the dry cleaning bill; It'll help the grass and plants grow. I could only delete account singular, owing to the fact I have one. The number of characters typed seems enuf to stump PN, which should be an indicator that I don't have juice to operate more.

Where have I ever stated support for people like David Lane, Jiminy? Shitposting on the internet in order to ruffle those easily ruffled does not amount to supporting a certain ideology.

You didn't Wayne, the "you two" were PN and Roachford who've both used the "14/88" comment recently. I generally assume that things like that are put out there to push buttons, like Ludgate said, but every now and then it's good to get confirmation.

You need confirmation that PN and Roachford are not Nazi's? Hate to tell you, but Nazism died in like May 1945 they haven't existed for like 70 years. Both of em don't live in their own countries, so bit hard to call em Nationalists and they most defo ain't Socialists.

I didn't mention Nazis, I mentioned support for David Lane, which is what "14/88" signals.

its also heavily connected to neo-Nazism...

I think they've both made it clear, to my satisfaction at least, that they're using it to push buttons rather than because they actually support the things it stands for. I don't feel the need to start hounding them about whether or not they're neo-Nazis, but if you think that's what they were trying to express then go ahead and ask them.

Also: "Pirates only slightly interesting"

Still by far more interesting than everyone else in the eUK by the looks of these election results, just sayin'.

Pirates only party offering a choice/Have players willing to lead not forced into it by the obligation of having someone run.
