Speaking of politics isn't it strange that Mr. Blair hasn't said when the elections will be his year? Most PMs have done so by now.

Possiblé that Tone's going a full five and waiting for this Ir*q W*r to blow over?

Only living boy in New Cross - The Good, The Bad and the Average

Communism and Capitalsim are not opposites..

I think it was Gorbachov who said -

That in capitalism man exploits man...and in communism its the other way round..

All systems are flawed...

Economic Left/Right: -5.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44

And Communism won't work, but Socialism shouldn't be discounted.

You should have heard my old teachers/lecturers actually... More from the school that being a proud of your country means being a Nazi.

And one who said Communism wasn't left wing and that no non-white people are rascist.

when i did it for the first time last year I got

left/right: -4.00
authoritarian/libertarian: -0.05

when i did it again last month i was (-3.85,-1.6)....

the political compass is definately skewed left - everyone in my politics class took the test and ended in the bottom left quadrant. including one "Lauren Sales", who I am willing to bet on one day leading the BNP...

the opposite of capitalism is socialism - that is an economic fact. the question is therefore whether communism IS political socialism, in which case communism is the opposite of capitalism. facism is, as someone has already said, a whole new ball game...
