In another forum some people got into an argument over what type of nations were the strongest. Here that argument can continue.

Oh and by strongest i mean in terms of military power.

Communism because of the authoritarian control which makes a transition to war economy easy...if thats the communism we are talking about

also I had the no idea it was still the 80's

Err military dictatorships of all kinds are generally the strongest. One of those was the USSR, another was Nazi Germany. Those were pretty strong.

Just stop. Mods, please lock this thread! This isn't gonna end well...

Old. Don't you know this was definitively resolved in the "Undead Adam Smith vs. Zombie Karl Marx" mudwrestle last year?

Agreed.... This isn't going to end well.

"Hurr! Communists!" seems to be more and more popular with kids these days. The funny part is that some of them actually think there is some sort of communist threat to the West.

There isn't???:eek2::tongue:

Communistic Capitalists

What about Socialism?

(Plus there really has been no real Communism in those places, just many STALINIST economies)

There isn't???:eek2::tongue:

Absolutely not! Go about your business. Heedlessly, if that's at all possible. There's certainly no need to be checking under the bed or anything like that! [shifty eyes]

Nothing to see here, move along.

What about the closet? I think I saw some red in there!:eek2:

No that was Narnia.

I don't think they are communists, in fact, I think they might be a Leocracy.

Nah, we were going to put a man in there, but bad things kept happening to him. Couldn't really fit, anyway. Too many right-wingers already there.

If a lion calls you, "comrade" you pretty much just go with it. In fact if a lion actually has anything to say, I'd think that one would be well advised to listen. Hell, if the Dear Lion wants to get drunk and deploy tactical nuclear forces in East Germany, so be it.

This was solved waaay back in the 1980s. There was an epic battle of wits and capitalism won out. There's even pictorial evidence of the actual moment capitalism won.

Pfft! That was a dive. All part of the, that's what we wanted you to think strategy devised by Lenin's-Brain-in-a-Jar.

Soviet Union = Communism
United States= Capitalism

Who is still around today?

China?

According to Andaras, communism is the best thing since communally shared sliced bread, and will win against Capitalism in some coming Armageddon type of battle. Silly brainwashed people, not being able to differentiate their fantasies from reality.

For some reason, that just cracked me up! :)

its because there is a growing market for smaller denominations (or whatever) of loaf making communal sliced bread a reality

bloody commie single people!

Which is stronger? That's an interesting competition.... Maybe we should have an economic boxing match... Smith versus Marx.. Who will win this show down of ecnonomical proportions?! Find out tonight, only on PBS!

Do a search. This topic is hardly original.

Communism.

They have almost INFINITE human resources to contribute to military strength. They have no Congress, Parliment, etc to stop them from drafting people or to delcare war. They are also the fastest to react in this case, as they dont have any checks and balances in place, allowing the leaders to make decisions without checking it with 500+ people. And just because they arent capitalist doesnt mean they cant make money. China, for instance, is expiriencing a dramatic rise in their economy because they offer cheap labor; Russia will undoubtedly get the same as they control most of the natural gas reserves in the world, as well as untapped mineral resources.

And as everyone LOVES escapees from oppressed countries, they could easily send spies and sabotuers into another country to wreak havok.

again I'm perplexed that this is still the 80's :confused:
