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.

Well, the theocracy oppresses atheists, the communists oppresses religious idiots...

The answer is simple, communism. I'd even want to live under Stalin than in a religious society.

But, my choice, of course, would be to have the socialist economics, without the state terror of Lenin... Well, not as much anyway.

I think Communist society rather than Theocracy.

A Communist society means that you get to serve your 'Motherland' which sounds cool.

Given those choices, communist. Not even a contest.

I'd pick Iran over the USSR any day of the week. Sure, in both freedoms are limited, but in Iran you do have a limited democracy, even though that normally means that you can only choose between conservative and very conservative candidates. Besides, what is a communist regime other than an atheist theocracy?

Communist definately since the odds are it will either collapse into a republic/democracy or sustain itself and turn out to be a more captialist socliast government liek China

Whatever that's least oppressive and that's impossible to say without further information. Both can be quite relaxed and very oppressive.

I'll rise with Talibans and Cuba. See the problem?
