"Collectivism is the only humane organization of action. Prove me wrong!"

That would be another wordist debate, since "Collectivism" can have all kinds fo meaning, except ideologically dogmatic individualist perhaps, but even there you can twist.

Anyway, let's call it socialism. I'd then ask whether this socialism is voluntary or coerced.

I think that you guys are overstating the matter. Karl Marx is at least equal to a level 100 magikarp

Actually, all socialists are level 25. Can't be having any socialists of higher status!

Equality decreases a reason for crime and therefore a sense of eternal security!

Tell that to Zimbabweans. They're pretty equal! Just all dirt poor.

A level 25 Socialist? Catch it with a master ball. I didn't even know they can get that high of a level.

This thread was awesome.

It would have been more awesome if there had been fewer people trying to ruin its awesomeness

Look up the relevant section (in this case it's http://mises.org/books/socialism/part4_ch27.aspx)

okay okay I have to do homework now.

Quite honestly, this is what I imagined when I proposed the card game based on political figures, but I never got around to it due to other important things, but also thinking it was too derivative off of the Pokemon Card Game.

If I have time this week, I might visit that URL and try to come up with some myself.
