What would a RW 'utopia' be like?

[ck4829]

I'm just curious, what do you think would happen if the RW'ers had complete and total control and what would happen if they could 'reform' everything they wanted to, what would life be like?

[mitchum]

1. Utah?

[Eric J in MN]

3. "Move Left" recent article on Utah.

2. most of the global population would be killed off

Those that were left would service the elite.

[Deja Q]

4. Exactly. Need for energy would plummet... less global warming. Et cetera

[salinen]

5. Salem

1624

[sam sarrha]

6. Mad Max and the Thunder Dome.. Rove is the midget on W's back

:rofl:

[deutsey]

7. Germany, circa 1936

[K-W]

8. Fuedalism.

Right wing capitalism is a wild groping attempt to reassert the feudal order.

[patdem]

9. Well, I think it would be closer to dystopia..and since tom delay is

the 'speaker of the house' I guess he speaks for the republicans so his vision for america can be found in the Marianas Island where they have slave labor and forced prostitution:

DeLay traveled with his family and staff over New Year's of 1997 on an Abramoff scholarship endowed by his client, the government of the territory, to the Marianas, where golf and snorkeling were enjoyed.

DeLay fully approved of the working and living conditions. The Texan's salute to the owners and Abramoff's government clients was recorded by ABC-TV News: "You are a shining light for what is happening to the Republican Party, and you represent everything that is good about what we are trying to do in America and leading the world in the free-market system"

Later, DeLay would tell The Washington Post's Juliet Eilperin that the low-wage, anti-union conditions of the Marianas constituted "a perfect petri dish of capitalism. It's like my Galapagos Island."

21. Great analogy

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. A place I wouldn't want to live. nt

[lectrobyte]

11. Perpetual War. Hyper-rich living and doing as they please, while

the rest of us live in conditions similar to say 1910 or so. Anything and everything that interferes with profits is removed, labor laws, environmental regulations, you name it.

[Jim Warren]

12. Rwanda?

Ah, but more seriously now...........this is a question I've pondered much and the conclusion I've come to(after having lived there for years and where mi esposa is from)is just look at Mexico.
Oligarchy, privatized profits, sizable military presence, plantation economy with zilch in the way of a social safety net, etc. etc.....you know, basic conservative "values".

[EstimatedProphet]

13. The movie of PinkFloyd: The Wall-the In The Flesh Scene

where Pink is standing in front of the crowd accusing people, and agents come out and take them away.

[salin]

14. two worlds - hyper rich in gated communities for the few

and talibornigan-world, for the rest of us.

Rather like life portrayed in the Handmaiden's tale.

[DBoon]

15. Spain in the 1950s? Chile under Pinochet?

I'd bet Chile, since the economic policies were straight Chicago School free-market.

Franco's Spain is a second choice, because of the tight links between the local religious establishment and the dictatorship. Where Franc was Catholic, the US would be fundamentalist evangelical.

[YOY]

16. A racially/economically motivated caste system

That propagates itself by use of education being un-affordable, class mobility being impossible, and religion as the ultimate opiate along with cheap alcohol, mindless entertainment, and useless patriotism/nationalism.

I'm thinking Roman empire.

[DBoon]

19. I'd add crystal meth to the cheap alcohol

speed is the perfect drug for a fascist society

[YOY]

20. Naw...kills too quick

You need your addicts to be around for a long time and completely numb to every possible stimulus for maximum uselessness. Social acceptance of it is key as well.

Meth junkies do provide a distraction...but on a more insular 'it's a problem' that takes the attention away from the big picture.

That and it kills more rednecks (red voters) than otherwise.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

17. Some of us...

Would be turning on a spit, over a hardwood fire, being bathed in a mop sauce. After all, they would sooner or later see us as a ready source of protein. ;-)

[tjwash]

18. Ever see "Soylent Green"?

nt

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

22. The very rich and lily white consumers.

Women kept in their place cooking and producing more consumers. Kids named Skip and Ginger. A dog named Fluff. A Mexican gardener and a black housemaid.

Think "Father Knows Best" and "Mayberry USA".

[Dr Fate]

32. Andy Taylor was a Liberal.

No guns and and always tried to reform or give lawbreakers a 2nd chance... Lowest crme-rate in NC too!

;)

[baldguy]

23. Somolia.

No government. No laws. Religious murders commonplace. The people with the biggest guns rule.

[emdee]

24. It would be chaos....

The "I can do anything I like but will judge and persecute you if you do" attitude is dangerous!

25. Something like this

[Donailin]

30. mine is in color

[geomon666]

34. Color is anti-American

You shall be gitmo'd.

26. I don't think there's any such thing as a right-wing utopia

Of course it's icky for the rest of us, as long as we're still here and there are so many non-wingnut behaviors and institutions to stamp out. Once it's done, though, I think a lot of average wingnuts would have a rude awakening. They'd see what the leaders they like to believe are good are really about and what they do when there's no bad pinko liberal stuff to eradicate. No screaming persecution complex to pander to. Then how would they keep themselves at the top of the food chain? It wouldn't be peaceful.

[Cleita]

27. Think of France before the French Revolution,

Victorian England and Ireland, and Nazi Germany. It could be any one of these. If you want something more recent, any banana republic south of the border and all those places in Africa that are having on and off famines all the time will give you an idea.

[Dr Fate]

28. Bad food, movies, TV, music & clothes. Pretty much like now.

n/t

[Donailin]

29. Why, it would be like this: L@@K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ck4829]

35. OMG. I think I have seen this in a nightmare at one time.

[Olney Blue]

31. Unfortunately, we are getting a taste of it already.....

With GWB in the WH, Frist as majority leader in Senate, Delay leading the House, neocons controlling the Pentagon, Roberts heading to SCOTUS...

The only thing that gives me hope is the low approval ratings of GWB and general unrest-

[johnaries]

33. I think the Simpson's did a good job of portraying the RW "utopia".

In the episode "Home away from Homer" where Ned Flanders moves to Humbleton, PA. His new neighbors get all bent out of shape because he has the "wrong" kind of mailbox.
