In honor of change, which is the goal of this thread, I am changing the thread. Instead of being specific with Capitalism and Communism, I'm wiping that clean, and our new goal is to come up with a government system that is better than any other system of government. It can have elements of any system, and new elements and ideas are highly encouraged. I will leave the old thread starter in a quote here, for relevancy.

I have an idea for an on-going experiment for us to try out. Let us, here at TFP, see what we can do as far as organizing a psuedo-government goes. This government must be a hybrid mixture of capitalism and communism, but it has to WORK. Many say that communism in the former U.S.S.R. was a failed experiment, and many people's lives were ruined because of it. Well here we are on the internet, with nothing to lose, and much to gain. Let's try it out. I'm not saying make a government and cecede from the Union, but rather see what we really can do without having to experiment with actual lives. I figure the internet is the perfect place to have such an experiment.
So there's my idea. I'm no scholar, and I have no degrees, so I don't know ZIP as far as technicalities, etc etc etc go. But let's see what we all can do when we put our minds together. Just remember that this is not in Tilted Nonsense, so I strongly encourage you to only be constructive in what you have to say in this thread. Maybe we can figure something out that's better than what we have now; or maybe not. At least we can say we've tried.
So I'll start it with a poorly-written law: Any decisions made in our pseudo-government can be openly challenged at any time.
I figure we can add our own laws, criticize each other's ideas (constructively and respectfully), and see where we're all really at. I'm tired of thinking of Republicans as evil, because deep down inside I know for a fact that they're far from evil. While at the same time I'm tired of Republicans thinking of me as worthless scum, because I am far from that. Let's find a medium, here. Let's see if we can really find our peace. I think it's best to start together, because our ultimate goal is to be together as a people.
If anyone has ANY good ideas for the organization of this thread, please open up and let us know as soon as possible. I'm not trying to run this thing; I just want to get the ball rolling and be a participant like everyone else.
