Let's do a series of mock presidential debates on CD

All participants would choose a party, and we would engage in a tournament of debates. The winner would become the "Supreme Chancellor of CD"  and debates would be decided via a democratic vote which all site members can participate in except the candidates in question.
Anyone who thinks this is a good idea, let us discuss and come to an agreement on what country we will model the "election cycle" on and how the debates will be structured.
To start with I think there should be 4 parties- The Socialist party (my party) The Progressive party, The independent party, and the Conservative party.

It should be noted that Bernie embodies progressivism, not full on socialism.

In other words, progressivism is moderated capitalism where the predatory rich are kept in line. Socialism is defunct and essentially is progressivism one step back (the theory of equality without the application of human greed and motive to work).

Progressives are basically the Christian's to the Judaism while the Judaism is socialism. We see Marx as a good person morally but admit that even the oh so saintly Trotsky got it wrong when they tried to stop privatisation altogether.

How is eliminating predatory capitalism one step back from merely trying to keep it in check without eliminating the root of the problem? Also "human greed" is the result of one of two extremes, scarcity or being a spoiled little bastard. eliminate poverty and spoiledness and for the most you will eliminate greed. Not entirely but enough so that it isn't a worldwide problem that can ruin whole civilizations. And the "motive to work" does not require capitalism or any form of social construct like money, just as with all things it can be done much better with reason.

The Venus project 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I got to give it to you you’re comedy gold , you mock others for their religious beliefs yet here you are a fawning acolyte of the idiotic “ Fresco “ and the views he plagiarized from Marxism and bad 1950s comic books .

The Venus project cult has not even got an engaging dynamic leader instead it has an idiot with the IQ of a pot plant and the personality to match ...... Any more You Tube videos to back your “claims” up ? 😂

The fact that the first person he brings up is someone who ditched all financial responsibility as well as all family that depended on them, is exactly what's wrong about socialism. These runaway "monk" preachers don't really do anything worthwhile in their life.

That would be fun. Perhaps the parties would be, the Left Wing party, the Right Wing party, the Moderate party and the Independent party. But maybe left-wing and right-wing is a bit too general...
