Communism/Theocracy?
Which would you rather live under? Be realistic, I'm not talking about Utopian for either. One that you would probably expect to exist. Oh, and the theocracy is either Christian/Islamic. Either one will do.
Although I loathe both for various reasons, I would probably say a theocracy. I would just pretend to except whatever was being preached. I just hate redistribution of wealth by the government that much.
Re: Communism/Theocracy?
Whilst I would support a utopian communist state, it would have to be utoipian and not Soviet-style Communism. Other than that I would go to a Theocratic Government. The thing is that I would be so brain washed into believing that whatever I was told was correct, that I wouldn't mind being there...

Re: Communism/Theocracy?
Since you seem to imply that both are totalitarian I don't see why should bother choosing, as it is with totalitarian states they are pretty much alike no matter what their ideology.
"One of the nice things about looking at a bear is that you know it spends 100 per cent of every minute of every day being a bear. It doesn't strive to become a better bear. It doesn't go to sleep thinking, "I wasn't really a very good bear today". They are just 100 per cent bear, whereas human beings feel we're not 100 per cent human, that we're always letting ourselves down. We're constantly striving towards something, to some fulfilment"

And where is 'GAH !' ?
Both choices are the same - in the beginning such countries are murderous, power-hungry, warmongering dictatorships to become decaying, conservative, grey places where black market is the only area showing constant growth.

Where is fascism?
It is almost the same as thocracy/communism, but is more suicidal.

Re: Communism/Theocracy?
Gah !
It all depends on how it's implemented, I think I'd prefer comunism, seeing as then at least part of the money I'd have to give will go to the people and not into funding essentially pointless things, like more church buildings, a university where all you do all day is reading the Bible or funding a 'class' of people who only 'serve' God and don't do any other job.
Poverty for anyone not in the religious class or party would be your fate in either society. I don't see why you're focusing on redistribution of wealth, since their won't be much wealth to distribute.
Note: I know there are rich people in China, but then they're no longer really communist, more totalitarian-capitalist, if that makes sense.

My thoughts exactly. The poll needs a GAH!/Anarchy option.And where is 'GAH !' ?

Re: Communism/Theocracy?
I am surprised by the amount of people who voted for Communism. Both can be bad but at least "Christian" Theocracy would, or should, if the Preaching is accurate to the Bible, allow freedom to a great degree.

My point exactly.
