(( The RUMP and I much prefer parliamentary constitutional monarchy. ))
I think we should return this thread to its regularly scheduled CCCP promotion, though. Sorry, S:reu Asmoûr, for the interruption.

Well, I think the hubbub is about the fact that if a party were named the NDSAP or NAZI or something, despite the party having nothing to do with Nazism, people would have probably complain mightily about the name. Strangely, though, a party named CCCP, despite being the name of the nation that murdered untold millions of its own innocent people in purges and gulags, and being the most repressive political state over a 70+ year period, invading and imprisoning its neighbour nations, is somehow different. It's a strange world. (( Hooligan )) Hooly, I must disagree with some points here. The US is just as guilty (perhaps not in actual numbers) but of her own atrocities, and I firmly believe that if accurate records were kept the British Empire would take the cake on oppressiveness and number of people that died under it's crown. Now, I'm not justifying nor downplaying anything the Soviet Union (which remember, was founded by Bolshevik Russia, Bolshevik Belarus, and a number of other existing COMMIE nations) has done. Just pointing out. I like the CCCP. I plan on voting for them on a provincial level. the RUMP and CCCP are in coalition and I could not be happier.

I don't criticise the CCCP as a party, in any way, just the (to use a phrase that seems to be on people's tongues lately, and for some reason specifically yesterday) "human rights" record of the CCCP as a nation, an entirely different beast, of course.
And now your thread is returned to you, Xhorxh.

- •Getting Talossa's old-timers back to work; •Making Talossa self-sufficient to cover web-hosting and contest prize costs by issuing coins and stamps, as well as marketing memorabilia; JOIN AND ENJOY! Well, consider the first point above a success with me, it appears that I'm coming back to work. Second point I'm somewhat uncomfortable with, especially in regards to USA customs and regulations (ie. taxes). Third, I do like your slogan "Join and Enjoy!" You would have turned me completely off if it had been "Share and Enjoy!" and all of the weirdness that entails. (See if you can guess the cultural reference just made....wow, some fun injected into this stuff...) Over and Out, John

Ah, but Viteu, the British Empire butchered natives with a gentlemanly swagger whilst impeccably dressed.

...... I think I can safely say that I see many things I like in the C.C.C.P. (except for perhaps the name , and look forward to seeing this coalition yielding great results. Well, as I have said before, we're no commies and our party isn't even leftist. The acronym is just a pun and our sole intent was to sound funny. But thanks anyway for your attention and interest!
