Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

  • Originally posted by Shahumyan ive read animal farm, and Orwell was a famous trotskyist, maybe your lecturer didnt tell u this as he was rogering you up the ass?

    it was a critique of stalinism, not communism, like i said he was a trotskyist, which is the continuation of the school of marxism
    Thank you for the insightful explanation. Now can you come up an argument to make the endless line for bread that I'm on any shorter? Thanks

      • Originally posted by Anonymouse Oy vay! Not the relativists coming along and giving new names to what is essentially the same idea.

        Listen Marxist from Manchestor, you can call it Marxism, Communism, Lenninism, Trotskyism, Stalinism, the point is, the idea started from Marx, it's the same idea. Ideas have consequences. It only showed that if the idea was taken to that logical end, that was the result. You don't have to like history, but that is the way it goes.
        These ideologies are not the same at all, stalinism is the removal of the capitalist as the ruling class and swapping it with party beurocrats, leaving the concentration of power in hands of beurocrats, not workers

        Marxism/Leninism/Trotskyism are the opposite, maintaining firm power in hands of workers to choose and run the country.

        What do you base your argument on? 1 experiment (the soviet experiement). Try looking at the leninist part of the SU, or indeed the Paris commune. I want to know what sources you use....they seem very unreliable

            I'm talking about the failure of the state run economy. Isn't that also related to what is being discussed? All the disctincions you made have the state run economy in common right?

            • hey lets leave politics out of racism OK?

              Comment


              • racism is a tool of the certain sections of politics, they are intertwined, and cant be seperated.

                As for the state economy, i dont see how this has failed, what are your parametres for failure? Do you think capitalism is a success?

                for me the parametres are employment, standard of living, security and so on

                  Yes capitalism was a success, unfortunately the State has grown larger and larger and interferes in the free market.

                  All political systems, whether democracy, fascism, communism, are socialistic.

                    • anonymouse, i used to find it a challenge replying to your posts, however its become so easy now.

                      first off, democracy isnt an ideology, so theres your first mistake in putting it next to communism and socialism (which use total democracy) and fascism

                      Where you write democracy, i presume you mean capitalism (which are completely different, and since when was capitalism democratic anyway?).

                      The government MUST interefere in the market, as if it didnt, the market would be overthrown by the victims of the failures of capitalism, ie the workers. That is why we have welfare systems etc, not because the people were nice, but because if they werent put up, the state would be smashed, and even if the workers were not organised then it would still result in riots and general unrest (for US example see Cincinati riots).

                      If the government didnt interfere, the government would be overthrown, it would have no other choice, other than to smash up its workers (Like in Iran). Remember, the capitalists need the workers so they would prefer not to kill them all, just beat them into submission (whether through propaganda or literally depends on situation).
