If you had to live under one, but could choose which, which would it be?

I was going to put some joke ones in, like Margaret Thatcher, but I thought i'd keep it semi serious :lol:

Definately Hitler's Germany...gotta love the saluting, flag fetish and the handsome bloke with that greasy combover and tiny moustache :wink:

You are more likely to live in Italy.

Oooh, the fascist countries are leading :?

I'm goin with Hitler. I'd be more likely to be killed under Hitler than under most of those other choices, but it'd still be badass. :wink:

what about Mao´s China?

Hitler's Germany.

I have blonde hair and green eyes. Probably be a bit like winning the affirmative action lottery.

Hitler's Germany. Not because I find the ideology any less repugnant, but because he was perhaps marginally less psychotic than the others. At least you sort of knew where you stood.

Well honestly...the commies and socialist commie wannabes were simply terrible. Not only did they kill people for the sake of it (nobody was safe), but there was little to be gained under regimes like Stalin...

At least under Hitler you had a job, got cheap cruises, had a dead gorgeous leader and had a lifetime supply of wicked flags! What a paradise :D

LOL, well they're all terrible, and that was the point :)

what about Mao´s China?

Unfortunately, the forum only lets you put 5 choices. I wanted to throw in Mao and France under Robespierre...

As Screegor said, you're most likely to live in Italy. The rest you'd likely die. :)

Haha I know...but I love to make fun of that stud muffin Hitler...damn what a man.

Let's not forget that beauty Goering...pro military...panzars are incredibly fashionable.

Also I love Hitler's "reduce warsaw to ashes" gimmic...seriously its a royal shame we have developed a human rights ethic...if only we had done the same in Vietnam and Iraq...no more problems.

As Screegor said, you're most likely to live in Italy. The rest you'd likely die. :)

Yeah. Strangely enough Italy is the safest.

oh, then my unofficial pick would definately be France, decapitation outside the Bastille and all that stuff!

lol. Italy and Germany are the only countries there that actually had a decent economy as well.

Well, Russia got there eventually.

Nazi germany all the way. Lots of consumer goods- volkswagens, etc., and as a non-jewish white guy, I'd be pretty free from opression as long as I kept a picture of hitler someplace and jumped through the hoops.

As long as you went along with it, and didn't mind the fact that your government was killing millions of people, Hitlers germany seems to be the nicest dictatorship on the line.

Mussolini's Italy was a suprisingly free place (the secret police only killed 50 odd people during his rule) as long as you weren't a communist. However, the higher quality of life in Nazi germany (at least prewar) would make it my dictatorship of choice. *feels wierd saying that*

I chose Saddams Iraq - the population had the highest living standard in the Middle East prior to the First Gulf War (I'm not a Saddam supporter by the way).

I came pretty close to choosing Hitlers Germany, I have blond hair, blues and think tanks are pretty cool but then I realised I probably would've been sent off to the Russian Front, not something I'd really want to do. I think dark chicks are hot too so I'd probably end up 'betraying the Ayran race', that also kind of clinched it for Saddam.

This is great thread, I love having to make bad choices! ! ! ! !

Actually Kilean...Volkswagen automobiles did not come into production until after WW2 when Hitler was defeated.

Germans wishing to own their own car put money away into a special fund which was then claimed by Goering to help finance war production of tanks...the money was effectively stolen without anyone knowing. When the war broke out, people were too busy or too patriotic to care about their Volkswagen.

lol. I'd pass up the Russian Front too :)

Hmm, no votes for Pol Pot yet :lol:

As an Indian, I'd have to say Mussolini's Italy. Hitler might not have me sent off to a concentration camp (there were indians in the SS after all) but it wouldn't be pleasant.
Mao wouldn't look to kindly on Indians having fought a war with India in the 60s

Pol Pot would kill me because of my glasses.

As for Stalin- I don't like communists.

I think everyone has seen "The Killing Fields" and there was nothing good (from what I can see, anyway) about 'Year 1'. Plus, tropical diseases kind of suck.

Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge is not nearly so stylish as Nazi Germany.

While the Nazis were probably the greatest example of evil of all time, the Khmer Rouge was just...

You left out 'George W. Bush's America.'

You left out 'George W. Bush's America.'

I was just about to suggest that! :lol:

"You are free ... to do what we tell you."

(Some might also suggest Margaret Thatcher's Britain, but I couldn't possibly comment)

Heheh, read my original post...

i went for Stalin cos i like red

Well Hitler would hate me because I'm a leftist libertarian, I would speak up against Stalin's digusting policies, Hussien was a killer but on the bright side his education system was the best in the Middle East pre-gulf war (correct me if I'm wrong), Mussolini would kill me just like Hitler, and well itd be easier to flee from Cambodia, or hide in the forests, if I wasnt White/Native American :shock:

Yeah, Iraq's education and healthcare systems were surprisingly excellent...Iraq was on the list of top 10 life expectancies well into the 90's.

Maybe you're getting the wrong idea about this thread, it's all about naked self-interests (from what I can gather anyway), what dictatorial regime an individual would have prefered to live under given their backround, race etc. It has nothing to do with them being 'bad', they all had their bad points, admittedly, some more than others.

The fact is most (not all) of the people repling to this thread are white males so Hitlers Germany would have suited them the best, that's why it is ahead in the poll, not because people forget how evil Hitler was.

Nah that isn't it at all...I mean who could resist that charming bloke with the small nasty moustache and greasy combover? Who could resist such a gogeous dictator? :lol: :wink:

I understand the thread, hence the earlier response.

I was just pointing out that I highly doubt that the Khmer Rouge suits anyone's interests here at all, where Nazi germany would probably be alright provided you're a non-Jewish heterosexual white male, preferably with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Speaking of fascist countries, you left one off: The US under king George II and his "department of homeland security (Big Brother)". :roll:

an anarchist like me stands not a chance in any of them. so send me to italy and hand out the meat hooks. hello armed socialist resistance groups.

Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

Sorry, I misunderstood the post, my mistake. Hey, I fit that description! Maybe I shoud have chosen Hitlers German, I could have joined the Luftwaffe and just bailed out over England then no Russian front for me!

Benicius - They did have cool helmets, they're uniforms were rather smart too. Here's a question - which member of the Nazi party was the most charming? *shakes head and thinks, so wrong, so very wrong*

Good to see some people have joined me in Saddams Iraq!

I'm no Jew, nor am I blond with blue eyes. But I gotta go with Hitler's Germany. I envy their salute... :shock: WHY CAN'T WE AMERICANS SALUTE LIKE THAT?

noooooo we gotta salute the boring way. the Boy Scout way....

Since we're on topic, I'd like to bring up a picture that semi-relates to this topic

http://www1.neweb.ne.jp/wb/soutou/fakes/cg-nazi.jpg

The one that I would do the best under would be Hitler's dictatorship. I have blond hair and blue eyes and am very white. I could act like a Nazi and live quite well? :oops:

However, I see plenty of blond Russians...

just like the social democrats of the time did. bastards.

Uncle Joe was alright if you were in the NKVD.

I'd get executed in Nazi Germany, Mussolini's Italy and probably in Saddam's Iraq for my leftist views, so I'd probably go for the USSR under Stalin.

well that depends. would your leftist views exactly match stalin's? otherwise you'd be just as fucked.

No, but I could always play along and convince myself that all this purging nonsense is helping us on the way to communism, or whatever.

This thread is a joke. Geeze. Get over it. Relax a bit. Have fun in life. Not everything is serious. Another 3rd grade level sentence coming your way. I am going now.

Hey let us not forget all the good things Hitler did for Germany:

1. Unemployment reached a global record low of 1,700 peoples out of work in 1937.

2. German infrastructure - rail, roads, zepplins - were the most advanced and well maintain in the world.

3. Made Germany and economic superpower by 1938 (true he did stuff it all up afterwards) and in 1938 Germany was outproducing the USA (even though it was in wartime economy, Germany only had 80 million people so it is an impressive feat).

4. German workers were paid adequate wages and living standards were high when the rest of Europe was just recovering fully from the Great Depression.

5. Advances in industry, medicines and synthetics (ethanol extender in petroleum). Major technological advances - jet, faster tanks etc

6. KDF - Strength Through Joy program was a big success and Germany was the forerunner in the crusing market.

7. Physical fitness was promoted and enforced (minus goering of course)

8. Hitler prevented the spread of communism up until 1945 (which the West then failed to stop until Berlin)

9. Had an eye for architecture and design (Germania, if completed would have been awe inspiring).

I am sure there are others, but those are the main ones I think. Of course Hitler did many bad things too, which outweigh the good. But let us remember, not all was bad in Nazi Germany - if you fitted the Aryan profile.

Random fact: Stainless steel staples were unavailible in Stalin's USSR. A German spy during WWII was discovered because his papers had them.

That would've really sucked, eh? You get executed by firing squad because your superiors stapled your false papers wrong.

"i swear officer, that's how the clerk gave them to me. they must be the spy"

LMAO!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

So that's how the great purge of 1937 happened...1 million dead because of a stainless steel staple.

Well, i am about as against communism as you get.

But i would have been best suited to the routine and lifestyle of the USSR, seeing as Nazis would have killed me due to my apparent genetic inferiority as being a "disabled" human.

And they could probably find a Jewish/Slavic/otherwise non Aryan great great great great uncle in law six times removed in your heritage somewhere and ship you off to Dachau. All the Nordic looks in the world couldn't save you from Hitler if you had leftist sympathies.

I'd rather kill myself than live under a dictator... oh, wait, I live under the control of Bush.

Someone want to hand me a gun???

and that reminds me of a story about a guy i know. he went to an auction that happened to be selling a nice old revolver. about which he said "that's exactly the kind of gun i would need to shoot the president" (jokingly, for all you homeland security agents out there).

Italy for me. Love pasta and Italian Vino. and when you get your rear end kicked, you don't get mad, you sit around, sing a few sad songs, cry a lot, then surrender to the nearest guy in the different uniform. Then you get shipped off to a POW Camp in the UK, get sent out to work on a farm and spend the remainder of the war eating good British food and attending to love starved British farm girls - who think Italians are sexy anyway :o)

Whats' not to like about Italy??

Italy...
Good wine and you get to wear an ostrich feather on your helmet.

um.
that's a tough one, especially considering I would probably get executed in most if not all of them. I have a problem with blind obedience.
but I guess I would have to go with Italy. I like food.

Under all of them? Are you a black jewish capitalist intellectual spy?

But of course!

But of course!

What a coincidence: So am I!!!

*Bump*

And while i'm at it...I'm screwed in all of them.

Stalinist USSR - I admire Trotsky, and im the type that would speak out and stupidly ask where all the people I know that disappeared have actually gone. Neither of them good in that society.

Nazi Germany - I'm half slav, and theres the political thing again. But then again, i'm half german too, so maybe i could get away with it....

Iraq - Maybe. I'm not really precluded for any reason, and if i shutup and did what i was told maybe i'd get away with it. Oh, and someone before said that they liked darker women...hmm. yeah. :)

Cambodia - I don't know how to work on a rice farm. Plus i'd probably be killed for being western anyway even if i was wearing an "I love Pol Pot" T-Shirt.

Italy - Probably the safest. But then, theres the whole political belief thing.

Italy or germany

Fascism rules!

Italy or germany

Fascism rules!

Anyone else find it disturbingly ironic that he got deleted after saying that? :shock:

Well Italy under Mussolini seems like the place where I would be least likely to be killed

Itlay: Just to play the percentage game.

Stalin set quotas, so doing nothing wasn't much protection.
Hitler's tache was so stupid I'd get shot for laughing at it.
Hussein - same deal as Hitler, plus the information minster would resent the laughing.
Pol Pot didn't like educated people, and I'm a student, so...

And Mussolini sounds like he's named after a type of cheese...
