TBH i would welcome them, the Tau out of all of the 40K races being the nicest realy.

Earth would need to be a barren cold rock to be ever ruled by Tau.
Why should we accept commie space ants as suppressors?

Well they have superior tech and could easily kill us all, and i think the whole world united under a communist banner would be great.

Their illusion of superior tech wont help them.
Really want to be a commie? Go north korea, they may accept you as new comrade....

I think it would be cool to get accepted into the tau empire cause then we get

RAAAIIILGUUUUNS

What i ve heard Tau keep their tech to themselves, so your stuck with your old guns.

Aren't tau facists? Easily the most efficient type of government. Plus they are the only race that isn't scared of technology. And we will still have a lot of say in how we work as long as its towards the greater good.

Didn't they give fancy guns and hats to the Vespids?

Do we want to be mindcontrolled with fancy hats?


Seems to fit to Timmah's post also, working for the greater good isn't done willingly.
Even tau are influenced from their ethererals to do so.

Strict caste communitys may not like a free will.
Maybe were not suitable as "servitors" just with a different name.

This is the second post you have failed with your knowledge of politics, the tau are closer to communism (the opposite of facism).

Well once they have earth under there control the Facists will be killed and the world we be under a peaceful communist banner, warhammer may be banned but its all for the greater good. There will be cures for Cancer and other serious illnessly as well as SWINE FLU. The only problem is if The Imperium found this world and it becomes a battlefield and if the Imperium does win, were be tainted and be shipped off to a work camp, and the new imhabitants of Earth will arrive.

Hey! Obama could stop covering up that hole in his forehead!

peaceful and communist

Banning warhammer is enough to kick Tau out of this galaxy.

I see a misconception here. Tau do settle on planets. Tau also may sometimes gather vassals/cannonfodder if its abilities
fit to the Tau style of war.

The imperium instead, is already here since earth = terra.
If they would not, the imperium would send its priests and transport you to the next theatre of war ( more cannonfodder ).

This is the second post you have failed with your knowledge of politics, the tau are closer to communism (the opposite of facism).

Ironic. I would think that the exact opposite of Communism would be Democracy in all honesty.

Both Communism and Fascism are ruled by a single thuggish leader who has bullied his way into power via crushing anyone who has an opinion differing from his.

Both also claim to rule in the name of the people and historically made steps to disembowel the ruling class of their respective countries.

Both Communism and Fascism support radical and undivided nation pride and loyalty, coupled with a strong belief in military and expansionist might.

I believe it is you sir, who has failed in your knowledge of politics.

Communism is the belief that all are equal and each should get everything equally, it is actually closer to democracy that facism.
so indeed it is not me who has failed.

O, so we are just comparing belief systems that have never actually been applied to history?

It seems you are citing Marxism, a system of government that existed in concept only, and never actually took foot in the world as we know it. Fascism, on the other hand was a system of government that actually came into being in Italy first and later on in Germany. It should also be noted that "Italian Fascism" in no way promoted the Italian race as sgreater than any other.

What you are comparing is National Socialism, (Kinda weird how they used the same words as Marx there huh?) and Marxism. One existed, one did not. Next time you correct someone on their political know how make sure your comparisons are not generalizations and are instead accurate.

HAha.
Way to stick it to those commies

I would definetely rebel. To hell with their false courtesy and their flawed government!

I, for one, would welcome our new blue Overlords.

World peace, no more corporate greed, crisis suits to keep the peace, everyone furthering the Greater Good.

Yes, I would definitely welcome our new blue Overlords.

Well some changes would happen including the banning of Fish fingers for obvious reasons, and fish would be banned as food.

There was never really a true "communist" country. Most of the "communist" countries were actually socalist. They thought that socialism was a stepping stone to "communism".
I don't think the earth under tau rule will do too good in the long run. Too much free will is taken a way and humans don't like that....

Hell, I'd sign up for the Fire Warrior Caste, and some day be lucky enough to blow S**t up in a Battlesuit.

Good enough for me.

Kill the Ethereal, we get our planet back.

The Tau are horrible mind-controlling facists who don't let humans breed. I'm pretty sure that they sterilise the Gue'vasa.

Who wants kids anyway, as long as they dont remove a certain something im fine, but if they do!


DEATH TO THE TAU!!!!

Tau are indian communists. This means earth would become a communist india without the population problem.

Edit: Manstein, Fascism is where all power is placed in a single leader. Communism is where all power is placed among the people. The difference between communism and democracy is that communism comes with the communist economic theory which is very strict and exact. The reason communism looks like facism is that in order to create a communist society you need to put all power in one place to make all the changes before giving up their power to the people. When given this much power most if not all people are corrupted and become despots, a form of fascism.

Well, considering how long and bloody the history of Racism, violent religious differences, and plain good old-fashioned don't-show-the-kids violence is in the collective history of earth's combined cultures, I think even a race so far ahead of our own as far as technology goes would be hardpressed to occupy our planet...

As a race we just loooove killing things and if they're blue and we're not that's just another great reason to get up in arms.

Though some might argue that they could take advantage of our disunity, there are a few things that would ensure that all factions fight the invaders:

Tell religous nuts that they're gay
Tell Rednecks, the irish, and other such peoples that they will enforce a planet wide prohibition

Tell Corporations that they will be rergulated

Show the Bloods what they look like without their armor on

Tell most of the U.S. that they're illegal aliens coming to take our jobs

etc

The tau may have superior tech, but the human race is FAR more numerous than the tau. Even if they have superior tech, they would be outnumbered and outgunned. We'll stick it to those blue commie space ants!

The Imperial get defeated by the Tau, so we would have no chance.

A lasgun isnt to effective vs Tau armour, and are weapons are alot weaker.
