((OZ! PANGAEA! NOW! THERE IS A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS.)) Sealand wanted to join the argument, but had no idea where to begin. Was communism good or bad?

Indy sighed, "What if... communism turns into anarchy? People start fighting over property, over land, over food and water. After convincing everyone into Communism, what if people claim things as theirs like saying that the yellow river in china belongs to belgium from then on? What will happen?" Indy looked down to her feet. She was a mere 15 year old who looked at politics as a boring thing, yet for once she found it pretty entertaining.

Russia shook his head again. "That can't happen because people won't have property or land in the same sense as they do today. Everything will be collected by the State and then redistributed equally."

Russia turned to Sealand. "Yes, comrade?"

Indy nodded, "I think Communism is fine, that everyone is equal... but I still have the slightest doubt about this." Indy put her hand on her forehead, trying to think of the good and bad effects of Communism. "Oz, what do you think?"

Sealand blushed. "Er, well, how is the distribution decided? And how would corruption be eliminated entirely?"

Indy heard the little girl speak up, "AH YES! That was the question I was looking for! Thank you, tovarisch."

"Simple. The distribution is equal for everyone. Corruption would be eliminated by the inherent elimination of bureaucracy and such in the Communist system," explained Russia.

Blinking in slight confusion, Sealand nodded. "Er, right, but, how does that work? I mean, would it be made so larger families get as much as they need? Or would they have to make due?"

"Naturally," replied Russia. "When I say 'equal', I mean that each person is equal, not each family."

Australia scoffed. "Pfft, Russia is placing entirely too much hope on the human conscience. If even democracies - supposedly the most 'fair' type of ideology in modern day society - rely on a ruling authority with enforcements in the form of police and armies, can you honestly expect communism to function where everyone is equal, with no superiors or subordinates? Where a newborn baby has the same rights and responsibilities as a full-grown adult?"

"I see, does this include land? Over population is happening, do we have to demolish anything then just for the homeless to get a home?" Indy asked once more.

"Australia has it wrong," interjected Russia. "There would be a governing authority, but it would be elected from the workers, by the workers. It's called the Supreme Soviet - a soviet is a workers' council. Land would be split up, yes - taken from the private landowners in order so that everyone can have a home."

Indy heard Australia, "Russia, how about age? Does each and everyone at drastic differences in age have the same right for everything? In comparison to babies and adults."
