Political Compass

[nijinsky's fetlocks]

Its all down to opinions,and yours is as valid as mine,but I profoundly disagree.
Anyone who compares,for example,Mein Kampf with Das Kapital,would realise that the two doctrines are poles apart on almost everything,from the economy,the power of the state,individual and collective responsiblity,freedom and expression,means of production,expansionism,etc.
I can see how people can reach the conclusion that they are both as bad/extreme as one another,but in terms of underlying political policy,that simply is not true.

When both are put into practise they both tend to have the same results, just remember that the Nazi party was a Socialist party much of it's ideology was taken from the communist movement

Yes,you are right in saying that,sadly,the two have often produced similar tragic results,be that Stalin and his pogroms or Hitler and the horror of anti-semetism.
But I would argue that they both deliberately misrepresented their respective dogmas and deviated wildly from their initial manifestos.
They are like two trains travelling from opposite ends of the country that both contrive to end up at the same station.
And in both cases the outcome was horrendous.

Take this as a straw poll and it shows just how far out-of-sinc the average brit is with our two main political parties.
Just another reminder of why i have never voted and im now 45.

I have never failed to vote, and I always will even if I waste my vote, beleive it or not politicians love political apathy, the less that vote the better, they then only have to answer to a small group, why do you think they still hold elections on Thursdays, when you could be guaranteed a high turn out if one were to be held at the weekend

They only ever have to answer to those more senior MPs that they may upset, not to the British public. If they had to answer to the public then by now politics would have evolved to a position where we would actually have a half-decent party or two that do represent the majority will of the people, and as such would make them a worthy party to vote for.

I may be on my own but i find it absolutely disgusting that my own country does not have a political system in which there is not even one party that even remotely represent my views.
