1. Worf would be a Libertarian

I mean, yes, strong central governing applies in the Klingon system, but family ties bind more strongly. And somehow I just don't see the Klingons as advocating stuff like universal childhood education...

[cheezus]

3. worf is a facist totalitarian

he has VERY strong views on how others must behave

[Book Lover]

7. But would be impose them on others in the Federation?

Would Worf advocate forcing humans to adapt to Klingon cultural norms?

[cheezus]

9. he would if he was in charge

but he's not... and it's really into rule following

and there isn't any moral relativism for worf

[cheezus]

2. are we setting aside the fact that they're all commies?

[disgruntled_goat]

6. yeah. communists was my 1st impression too

from TNG:
we dont use money
we dont accumulate wealth
highly developed social collective.

commies with energy weapons. heheheheh

4. I think

I think a few of them were Whigs, weren't they?

[Abelman]

5. OMG!

:spray:

8. Actually...

...the concept of a political party is outmoded in their time. Ever since the Republican party left earth to join the Borg.

[cheezus]

11. Good point, yet I still think there are left-right differences

[ltfranklin]

14. Really?

Left side white, right side black or right side white, left side black?

10. They are anarchosyndicalists.

Each person works to better himself and humanity, not to accumulate wealth.

From the wikipedia: Anarcho-syndicalism is a branch of anarchism which focuses on the labor movement. Anarcho-syndicalists view labor unions as a potential force for revolutionary social change, replacing capitalism and the state with a new society democratically self-managed by workers.

12. Heh...

do they see the violence inherent in the system?

[FreepFryer]

13. See dis Klingon oppressin' me? Ratify that wi' a twothirds majority!
