There were elections in Germany in 38, too, but I don't think that's enough to qualify. I think things like freedom of the press are also requisite.

My argument, which considers a 'spectrum' of political realities, specifically made room for people to say 'not democratic enough to be called a democracy' or 'not fascist enough to be called fascism'.

Or for someone to claim that Japan (or even the US!) to be fascist enough to be referred to as such.

Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

Oh, and just to add... Legolas - 21/09/2017 07:55:35 PM 522 Views

In the immortal words of Dennis Leary "We got the bombs" Who cares if Iran is the adult in the room? Cannoli - 22/09/2017 11:22:43 PM 530 Views
He's right on socialism Tom - 25/09/2017 12:42:26 AM 476 Views
What about market socialism? Coops are decently popular. Ocean Spray is doing fine. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/09/2017 01:28:19 AM 279 Views
Ocean Spray is not a socialist venture in any way that I can see. Tom - 25/09/2017 01:45:44 AM 539 Views
Sure, by the original meaning of the word. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:22:50 PM 486 Views
People misuse words all the time (cf. ironic). That's their problem. Tom - 25/09/2017 07:25:55 PM 497 Views
I'm making the argument... Legolas - 26/09/2017 07:12:56 PM 568 Views
Socialists are taking it back aerocontrols - 26/09/2017 08:03:39 PM 508 Views

It's an interesting idea. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 02:19:19 AM 482 Views
Sounds like Singapore to me. *NM* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 02:33:06 AM 264 Views
See, I wouldn't call Singapore democratic. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 05:03:14 AM 424 Views
Did you see their hilarious presidential 'election' recently? *NM* Legolas - 27/09/2017 07:55:15 AM 311 Views
*shrug* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 01:05:47 PM 451 Views
I think that's a weakness of your spectrum argument, though. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 11:06:16 PM 402 Views
the non military is the further stretch random thoughts - 27/09/2017 02:16:03 PM 480 Views

Almost missed this reply, hiding down here. aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 09:40:41 PM 432 Views
Uh. You say no, but what follows makes it sound like yes? Legolas - 27/09/2017 11:42:11 PM 528 Views
You're again making an idiotic argument Tom - 27/09/2017 07:25:36 PM 490 Views
Which you then did your best to prove? Thank you for that, by the way. Legolas - 27/09/2017 09:13:28 PM 527 Views
No, socialist is socialist. What is so hard about that? Tom - 28/09/2017 05:05:27 AM 451 Views

I made the mistake of bothering to try reading a New York Times article Tom - 29/09/2017 12:38:07 AM 639 Views
It was a brilliant speech all around, and you don't understand Trump based on those comments. Tom - 21/09/2017 08:32:29 PM 500 Views
He's doing jack shit. He tells people everything they want to hear, then blames Congress... Legolas - 21/09/2017 08:57:36 PM 539 Views
That's absolutely not what he's doing Tom - 22/09/2017 09:54:34 PM 486 Views
If you say so. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:31:00 PM 526 Views

Yes, the "snowflake" accusation is rather hard to take seriously from people upset about the flag. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/09/2017 08:24:29 PM 223 Views
Let's hold the phone here for a moment.... Jeordam - 26/09/2017 09:07:07 PM 406 Views

I saw a statistic somewhere in an article about the controversy... Legolas - 27/09/2017 06:47:04 PM 424 Views
80% of the players may be black but a similar percentage of the fans are white random thoughts - 28/09/2017 12:59:57 PM 438 Views
Makes sense. But if 80 percent of your players is taking the other position... Legolas - 28/09/2017 06:43:23 PM 724 Views
