We only have (2) two (major) political parties, and if you take (1)one away (=)you get (1)totalitarianism. 2-1=1 What's so hard about that? Yes, it's unlikely that either party would take a dive, but theoretically, it could happen. I believe that's what his point was.
It ignores the fact that those who were Democrats or Republicans would not all flock to the other party. They would join with the Green party, Libertarians, or any other number of parties out there. We would still have a multiple-party system.

Totalitarianism does not equal single-party system - while the ideologies would intersect, they are simply not interchangable terms. I hate to get all semantic (possibly semiotic), but seriously.

A totalitarian regime would be, by definition, 'single-party' in that all opposition would be crushed - but a single party system does not guarantee totalitarian authority over all matters. It's a necessary but not sufficient condition - hence, if you 'get his point' you're making a mistaken logical leap, which is most certainly an error.

I don't care if you find humor in my posts and I don't need anyone's sympathy.

I call the world like I see it, and I make more sense than you do. You are a Jewish neo-fascist, and no one can even understand that. Do society a favor and go jump off a building.

I will continue to say what ever I feel needs to be said.

If you have a problem with that, well then I already said it. Fuck you.
I suppose that while you mastered the art of becoming Greekchat.com's village idiot, you also mastered the ability to curse and to use slurs.

You're nothing but a joke on here. I've called you on it before as well, so don't pretend it's anything new.

I've always thought that I was the village idiot, and I don't want either of you horning in on my territory.

Any chance of getting back to a semi-civil discussion?

Or, is it just another idiotic idea I have?

What discussion was there to be had in this thread?

Could it have been yet another claim posted by a boob on why 9/11 was staged?

Perhaps it was a claim posted by a bobble head that makes zero sense about one political party out of many magically disappearing and then incorrectly defining a system of government?

Nobody can encroach on this man's village idiot front yard.

No slur. He called himself Jewish. And in the politcal party thread he identified himself as Fascist. I'm just calling him what he called himself (I threw in the "neo" because of I thought it fit better semantically).

Also, name one single party that wouldn't take control of everything a la totalitiarianism as classicaly defined by people outside of this board? Anyone of them would. How succesful and how long their regime would last probably can't be answered by this thread.

By the way, I didn't start a debate. I made an obersvation. A second party asked me a question. A third party interupted negitively, and un-provoced, as he has often done in the past for no real reason. So I responded in kind.

Glad you mastered cut and paste.

I don't think you've called me out per se.

You've annoyed me, that's for sure.

Somewhat of a tangent, but did anyone else see the clip of Alec "I'm moving out of the United States if Bush wins - Oops, I didn't mean it" Baldwin and Fox's Sean Hannity? It was priceless! Baldwin couldn't even get a sentence out without stuttering!
