Starting A Club At School

I've thought on the idea for a while, and I think that I've ironed a lot out and I've gotten quite a few people behind me. It's not going to be a club about technology, as many would expect from me, but rather a political club. My old school had a Young Republican's Association, and though my current school doesn't (if I remember correctly), they do have the "Fellowship of Christian Athletes", which basically means the same thing, not to sound too politically charged or anything. Bref! I want to start the Young Proletariat's Union, which is going to be an appropriate euphemism for a Socialist / Communist club.

Now, you might be thinking that I'm planning on staging a mass revolt that's going to take place throughout the entire United States -- I'm not planning an uprising, that would be ridiculous. Instead I'm just providing an experimental environment (assuming that this can get through) where we schedule frequent meetings, discuss current events, and potentially design a system of our own. I was also planning on some historical discussions involving the USSR, the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of North Korea), and the PRC (People's Republic of China), put more simply the first three communist powers that usually come to mind.

If this gets out of hand, I might end up having to shut it down. It's probably not going to pass, and if it does, it might get shut down before I have the chance to do it myself, but the main goal of the club is to soften the American mind to the idea of services provided by the government. Of course a fully communist system would be ridiculous. History has proven that the best system is a mix of these two. And it's for this reason that America needs to become less afraid of the idea of communism. Sure, it's the exact opposite of the current system that we have. Sure, we fought several wars and spent a lot of money to make sure that this never happened. But look at Europe; they felt the effects of these wars far more than we ever did, and yet much of their daily lives are regulated by the government, they're run well, and many of these countries still manage to be within the top 10 economic powers of the world. It's like one of my best friends said back in France: America's great, but it could be so much better! This starts with us opening our minds to new ideas and letting our system change with its changing environment.

Also, on a completely different note, my Das Keyboard is arriving on Wednesay! Super excited. :)
