gollark: So you're suggesting we do it...?
gollark: The commune sort of thing probably worked well for hunter gatherer tribes, but not massively complex large interdependent modern societies.
gollark: Political responses to hard questions from my die project:- dispute terminology- national security/children (this was, paraphrased slightly, literally how my local MP justified the investigatory powers bill)- leave, live on pension (e.g. David Cameron)- Answer some other question to what was asked- invent or misreport some statistics about it- find a scapegoat (such as immigrants, or new technology, or the opposition/last party)- no comment- deny what you just saidComing in v3, Dodecahedral Edition:- delay as long as possible[3 more submissions wanted!]
gollark: I said earlier, communism scales poorly, did you not listen.
