For NSG Communists, which variant do you subscribe to? Poll coming.

Sorry, but you have to denounce communism to get these naive commies to respond-but nice try

i'm of the Pinko Bastard variety.

I'm of the non-sucky Stirnerian kind.

Anticommunism is a kind of communism, right? If so, *raises hand* :p

Democratic socialist.

More of a democratic socialist with a bit of an anti-Statist flair, but not enough really to be called a libertarian socialist.

I voted Maoist, because I support the equal right of everyone to have forced abortions and kill each other over monetary differences.

Democratic Socialism.

However I'd like to point out that Democratic Socialism is, as its name implies, a kind of Socialism, not Communism, so it should'nt be considered a kind of Communism.

I'm probably what you could call a British Socialist. That is, I'm all in favour of state-owned industry and resource management, but I like the idea of keeping thinkers and workers together in government rather than handing control over to one or the other. It's just a shame our Labour party has turned its back on us and thrown everything to the businessmen.

I didn't vote Democratic socialist because, if I'm being honest, what I envisage is not pure democracy, but rather "Democracy with checks and restrictions". Of course, the checks and restrictions are not above Democracy, but rather in parallel to it, which means the elected can overrule the appointed as well if necessary.
