None of the above. And don't say that's not an option
We have the option of not voting.

Not a ****g clue, again I'm still figuring it out, nor do I think I will ever succeed. But it's nice to give a worth while idea a second chance.
Marxism is the original Communism, Marx's writing in a nut shell is of a Utopian society, everyone is equal, none more than another. Plus anarchy, his beliefs were of a stateless society. Ranked 3rd for me.
Marxist-Leninism is Lenin's tweaking of Marxism, which share many of the same principals, but has the idea of a vanguard party, because anarchy never lasts. My number 1.
Trotskyism is again elaboration on Marxist-Leninism, but he preached of the impossibility of "Socialism is one nation", basically having only one Communist country. He also believed in permanent revolution, revolution until the extinction of capitalism. Number 2
I'll group Moaism and Stalinism together as they are basically the same thing. These are what most people think of when they think of Communism. These are the ones that involve secret police, brutal policies, mass murder, restrictions of rights and other fun (sarcasm) stuff. Not even worthy of ranking.
Please we you see "Communism", don't think of Stalinism and Moaism right away, remember the other three, that aren't really that bad.

Not a damn one. I would rather drink Drano.Which of the five most prominent forms of communism would you pick if you had to?
I am having very mixed feelings at this time. I don't really know what to do. I think I'm having an epiphany right now, my realization that Communism does really suck. But I'm still mulling it about my mind.
So not to get your hopes up, Imma still be a Socialist if I abandon Communism ;P
Odds are you'll change your mind about that too, once you have a decent income, some property, and a couple kids. :mrgreen:
no offense or anything...

Capitalism can be slavery as well....All I see is:
[x] A political worldview that has some supporters over the age of 21.
They're all equally stupid, so it's really just a question of body count.
None is not a vote. There is a reason the title says "If you had to..."
Disagree.
Maybe Leon Trotsky
Lenin may not have been "bad" at first.
The trouble is, we as Americans have been fed hundreds of years of anti-communistic propaganda..
So, we know little of these men except negative things.
Or, if capitalism is so great(and it is not !) then why has it feared communism so ????
I don't "have" to do anything I don't want to.
Communism is a bad form of government, while it sounds nice on paper, it is not realistic as a way to govern in the real world, and only leads to the exploitation of the masses by greedy leaders.
And when your practice of your "rights" tramples on the rights of the masses, then what ?I have no tolerance for anyone that advocates taking away my rights because they think they know better.

Have your ever wondered what bought on the scourge of communism in the first place ??

A shame, why not learn about these, have you ever wondered why so many embraced these for so long ?

Damn straight we don't. The only thing we want to know about Commies is their compass bearing, longitude, latitude and range... so we know where to aim the Howitzer. :mrgreen:
