Is your clan...

[Inu]

Communist or Fascist?

 

Communism:

a system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party.

 

Fascism:

a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

 

Interested to see the parallels between Runescape Politics and actual politics.

Moosalini baby!

[AndyIbeat]

Fascism

[Inu]

Is your clan based upon an individual ruling with an Iron Fist, creating scapegoats and segregation?

Is your clan based upon a ruling group, and the everyone's equal to a sense?

[BigBob]

gad Inu ur so asian.

 

OT: Fascism.

[Milky]

Monarchy, long live the queen!

 

Na but we're more of an oligarchy.

This is a terrible basis;

 

Those are highly Economically influenced policies

 

Clans on RS aren't based upon commerce.

 

Though, you could replace commerce with wins,or victories or kills

Not sure if srs.

 

Communism could be seen as an economic policy, but the theoretics behind the policy, that of equality and the proletariat rising up could easily be applied to runescape clans. Fascism on the other hand rarely deals with economics. The only that comes close is when Hitler implemented war time economics, but many other countries (Britain, USA, France) implemented these same things to boost their economy.

First educated post on this topic. Those were probably the worst two you could have chosen, I mean at least add democratic where a group (irl: congress) (rs: leaderboard) work as a unit with one "head" person (irl: pres) (rs: leader).

Everyone equal part doesn't make sense since, even in a communism or fascism gov there is a "lower" class where they are not "equal" to the rest.

O yeah triple post. I would be interested to see what people think as far as a mix of socialism (similar to communism sorta....) and democratic with ideas and concepts behind it. Comments?

The inner workings of both parties (Communist and Nazi) were exactly the same as the democratic system (Which really isn't a democratic system) you mentioned. The congress would be the party members, the head would be the dictators, and the rest wouldn't be considered.

 

A democratic system, democracy in general, is the will of the majority with respect for the minority. I doubt clan leaders are elected by their members, nor do they really give any respects to the minority(s). This is why I chose communism or fascism, or another way of saying: Is your clan ran more by an individual or by a group.

This is the theoretics behind Communism and Fascism, for no government system works out exactly as planned. Even democracy can be abused, like the Bush administration and the Harper regime have clearly shown. This was a simple question made more simple by me explaining the context of the question, don't try to wrap your head around it too much.

Wtf is this... have you no imagination?

 

OT: Probably an oligarchy although you didn't offer it. I know xL is Facism for sure. I'm not sure any clan has everyone completely equal, that's why there are ranks and leaders etc. A new app =/= a dedicated 1 yr member etc.

[Eleqtricity]

commies!

[Coz]

2am, tired and typing faster than my brain atm so prob hella bad grammar and spelling errors. I am sorry ahead of time.

 

I see Inu, I mean I know no clan is run by members voting in their leader, so I guess it is a mix of several. I dont think you could choose one. I mean you can think of a dictator or congress as the council reporting to leader as a president and members as just the middle class, but then dont have a vote....so then you go to communism or fascism. I mean good question for sure. maybe even boost some discussion in the forum.

The term "communism" has been so misused and slandered in the past several hundred years that it's gained many different meanings and contexts, most of which are a far cry from the original Marxist and anarcho-communist forms. The definition used here is one of the terrible ones.

 

I'd like to see a clan adopt some real communist policies; for example, having a completely random and total redistribution of ranks. Not completely communist, but that'd be interesting to see.

[Piers]

You should research the political idealism 'asscunt' that's how I run my clan(s). If you do something good you get ****, if you do something bad you get ass.
