Yep, still alive! Have been a little busy, though I manage to find some time in Forum 7.

If there is nothing happening here in Singapore, I surf the NS World.
Hi Singapore!
Zheng Yi Sao, Singapore no2, Bathor, and Valentine Z
Hello.
Zheng Yi Sao, Bathor, and Valentine Z
Nǐ hǎo
Bathor and Valentine Z
Hello there!
On a side note, 100% Taxation rate doesn't really make sense to me. Like, 100% of your Income Tax? How will you get money, then? :P
But for the sake of gameplay, I am having 33% GST rate. Gotta run the free healthcare, education and public transportation.
Zheng Yi Sao and Bathor
With 100% taxation, those people are slaves 0f the State in actuality. They would have to be fed, housed, and generally cared for by the State. They would work at their appointed jobs while the elite would be free to do as they please.
Watch the film Metropolis. ;)
Singapore no2 and Bathor
The weird thing is, I still have a pretty high average income, haha. So, these people are still somehow earning money. Welfare packs?
Zheng Yi Sao and Bathor
They're not slaves if the state is communist! /s
Zheng Yi Sao and Bathor
Mine is kind of going to be a hybrid of socialism and capitalism. Not sure how it will work, but it's a break from reality. :P
Zheng Yi Sao and Bathor
Guys, have you ever noticed the following:
>Dàgúo is 大国 in chinese? And that Dàgúo is essentially China?
>Dàgúo is both a monarchy and socialist?
Zheng Yi Sao and Bathor
Personally I feel the only reason why Asia embraced socialism was because of the colonial exploitation by the western powers.
Isn't socialism also cultural imperialism by the west as well?
(if we follow such a line of thinking)
Kinda ironic when China is trying to be patriotic about their culture yet their ideology was adopted from a German.
Lenlyvit, Zheng Yi Sao, and Singapore no2
And after the cultural revolution, they ironically wiped out their own native culture.
Zheng Yi Sao and Bathor
And their culture was so great before that :(. Over 4,000 years of culture wiped out thanks to Western cultures interference.
Zheng Yi Sao, Singapore no2, and Bathor
Who would win?
4000 years of heritage and tradition, in addition to an army millions strong and a patriotic populace
One smol red book
Zheng Yi Sao and Bathor
Black Market, Graft, Theft? The may get paid a large salary, but the government take it all back.
Pure communism is utopian and cannot exist in the real world because of human nature. What is touted as communism is a socialist dictatorship

Hmm, black market, not so sure. I've one of the smallest Black Market in the world.
Maybe it's like GTA. Type HESOYAM and you get $250,000.
As for the second point, the video game Halo kind of addresses that. They have this species called The Flood, whose members do not have a want, a desire, or anything for themselves. All they are doing is for species' survival as a whole.
The problem is, they are bent on consuming every other species, i.e. parasitic relation with just about anything else.
Zheng Yi Sao and Bathor
Basically any species with a hive mentality. Like ants.
Ants have a symbiotic relationship with their environment.
For the Flood, to my knowledge I have about Halo's lore, no... It doesn't have anything but parasitic relationship with anything. All it wants is to see the world be consumed by them.
It's that time of the month again!
Look out for Issue 883
Who Let The Dinos Out?
It's a follow-up to the Mesozoic Park (Jurassic Park parody) Issue.
Zheng Yi Sao and Bathor
A must read for any patriotic citizen!
