I think that Second life needs to act as more of a socialist democracy; that is, when someone closes an account, any money they have left in the account will be distributed to the people, as long as the recipient has less money than the person whose account was closed. so if someone has L$23, and they close their account, 23 people who each have less than 23 dollars will each recieve one dollar. If the person has 6 friends, then the friends who have less than L$23 will get a dollar. then the rest of the money would go to the people.
Also, there should be checkboxes on the map that show stuff like rez-zones, no-fly zones, push-zones, damage land, pg zones and mature zones.
Oh yeah, and there should be more user polls.

Sooo…

On one side we have communism with many many MANY flaws.

On the other side we have capitalism… and well yeah I dont even have to mention the huge problems THAT causes.

I’d say both are as horrible, kick the commies as well as the objectivists out of SL. Furries and Prok as well while your at it.

Then perhaps we can actually have something interresting to read here for a change. But the chances of that happening are about as big as the chance that Phillip L. decides to embrace the Commie philosophy, ‘comrade’.

For the record, I’m not condoning or endorsing the above statements about furries…just that they don’t have rights because they don’t exist. They are humans playing as cartoon animals. Saying “what about hippie’s rights?” or “what about Mormon’s rights?” would be a much more valid question…but it would still be irrelevant and borderline stupid.

The recent string of communist/anti-Prokofy articles seem to be a rather transparent ploy to try to lure Prok back to SLH for the enjoyment of everyone that likes to mock her in the comments section. The timing is just to evident to be anything else.

Maybe people would be entertained if you guys took the effort to write more interesting articles. I know you guys work under the guise of satire but a) you’re not funny most of the time and (b) that’s generally what someone that is being critical does when they want to be shielded from any response. See Daily Show.

You guys don’t even have to start using actual facts or journalistic integrity. Just write something that’s entertaining and not just retarded!

When you bring your freakish furry fetish into some economic capitalist/socialist debate, you automatically lose, that’s the end of it, case closed. Any attempt by a furfag to argue with this is pointless as you’re just some degenerate cartoon-zoophile fetishist on the internet.

Furries are delusional to begin with, the majority of their fetish (don’t try to deny it’s a fetish) relies on them playing make-believe all day that they’re really a deformed animal, most likely one that wouldn’t even have the proper anatomy to speak in real life, or possibly even the mental capacity to, as crossing human intelligence with an animal’s would always produce something of sub-human intellect.

Furries are a joke, that’s it, no matter what kind of ideology they try to hide behind, they’re just something to be trolled and lol’d at. Something like that can’t be taken seriously in any real discussion, we’re better off asking a piss-covered gimp how to run our economy. Kit Casanove has the delusion that the entire world lives on 1′st world standards, “anon” is expressing blatant butthurt, and there was already a debate on capitalism vs socialism, it was called the cold war.

Also, secondlife is a game.

Communism is the ideal system of government, but only in the ideal circumstances. If every man of any given community were to work equally as hard as the next man, and the leader of said community was a dead man, then communism would work perfectly. But, due to human nature, and the fact that no dead man will ever be elected, communism will never work. Sorry, but it’s just not going to happen. The harder-working men would be taken advantage of, and the living leader would be corrupted by the extreme amounts of power he automatically possesses. Just read through any non-biased history book, and you will notice that the above situation has played itself over and over again. The only communist society that has ever proven itself to work would be a commune. You know, one of those buildings in foresty areas with big murals on the side, old cars parked around them, no significant activity within a three mile radius, and severely reeking of cannabis and hippies? Yeah, those things… too bad there are only a few people out of a thousand that would subject themselves to such strange living arrangements.

Also, I would have to agree with SqueezeOne:

“Right in the middle of what almost looked like a semi-valid debate you hear… ‘Pixeleen Mistral: should furries also own the means of production?’ This is exactly why we should have LESS philisophical debate in SL. !FURRIES DON’T FUCKING EXIST!”

Pixeleen, if you would please examine the title which you imbued upon this article, you will notice that it clearly states “The Great SL Objectivist vs. SL Communist Debate”. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe this debate was pertaining to the rights of humans vs the rights of furfags. Please lrn2journalism before you destroy the profession any further. Thank you.

Oh good grief…

How does anyone take any of this seriously? Soviet-style communists on SL? You might as well have Soviet-style communists handing out free pens at a rented booth in the mall. It makes no sense whatsoever.

I can’t be the only one here that thinks this debate is assinine and our commie friends here are merely attention whores? Right…?

The principles of Marxism rest on limited resources – there is only so much planet to go round so how do we work out a way of sharing it equally between the creatures that populate it (here one might include flora, fauna and maybe even furries..). I advocate a ringfencing of all resources that are limited rather than the capitalist argument of ‘I got there first so it is mine’. This also applies to objects created, since their creation will use some of these limited resources and may well impact on other resources (e.g. the construction of a dam uses stone from land that people may already live on and causes flooding again on land on which others live – ref pretty much any dam built anywhere in the world). This is why capitalism is destroying the planet because there are not enough resources to fulfill the needs of every damn person seeking their fortune by taking resources and turning it into objects for sale. So, when we come to the virtual world, the problem of limited resources diminishes. My prediction is that eventually capitalism will exist solely in the virtual world because it cannot work on our limited planet. Either that, or we are screwed…

My sympathies tend further to the Communist side in this debate. If purely for the reason that they are snappier dressers.
