I'm pretty sure you're mistaken. Politics consists of random number generating and making shit up, I'm

I like that you still haven't edited your own broken link.

Bush took INT and CHA as his dumpstat
bush? charisma? intelligence? ha!

i don't think differentiating intelligence and wisdom is fair, tough, intelligence is a generic measurement of mental prowess. either way, we all agree that some people are better at making decisions then the rest, and i say those should be in charge.

i'd rather have a system where voting would be a right that you had to study for, and being politically active would be mandatory for keeping your vote rights, that means that you'd have to be present at some events, etc... most people wouldn't want to vote if it required this kind of commitment, leaving the urns for people genuinely interested and informed.

General:
-I believe that the history of society is the history of class struggle.
-I believe that the government must control the capital, or else the capital will invariably control the government.
-I believe that the proletariat should be made aware of its status and, in doing so, become a group for itself rather than by itself.
-I believe that racism and sexism can both be tied directly to classism.
-I believe that the government should maintain the sole justified use of force for itself.
-I believe that every person, without qualification, deserves to have their basic needs fufilled without charge.
-I believe that, while evolution, natural selection and intra-species competition is a correct description of the history of life, it is not the correct perscription for its future.
-I believe that communism, in any form, requires democracy.
-I believe that all christians should be communists.

US specific:
-I support the nationalization of large corporations and the use the profits dirived from these corporations to eliminate sales taxes and the lowest brackets of the income tax.
-I support the elimination of military contracting.
-I support a minimum income placed at 5-10x the poverty line.
-I support a smaller military and the withdrawal from all foreign wars.
-I support any effort to automate production.

@grek:
i am with you in most points, but i don't think communism requires democracy, a constitutional authoritarian state could enforce those ideals even better than a democracy, but the risk of it being corrupted into a generic dystopia is dangerously high. i don't think we should dismiss the possibility of a benevolent totalitarianism in the future, tough

Therein lies one of the huge flaws of communism. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, not always at once, but eventually.

Bush took INT and CHA as his dumpstat, which slowed him down somewhat, but I don't think it's all about stats. All of Obama's stats are very high (even STR and DEX, which are usually dump stats for Presidents), but he's still hasn't made messiah rank, though his rank certainly isn't as low as Bush's was this far into his session.

Actually, Bush's CHA wasn't that low, all things considered. He took a flaw that allowed him to add his INT penalty as a bonus to his CHA.

"Mommy, look what the funny President did!"

I dont think Bush was as dumb as he affected to be. I think it was a show aimed towards his public.
