Though definitly not saying that communism is a good thing, it has it's positives. East Asian countries have been and still are awfully negative about women's rights. In Imperial China this was to the degree where baby girls would be sold as slaves or abandoned to die. Even though Chairman Mao of communist China was a degenerate money worshipping bastard he had to stand up for his party to a certain extent and that included the doctrine that all people are equal. Now that China has gone back to capitalization the old trends are coming back, though obviously in a supressed manner. (Since you can only have one child, there's more sexism in baby gender preferance. Idiots, now China has TONS of bachelors.
)
The same goes with capitalism. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn who got written by the book First Circle gets pointed out by the fact that the trend in 1950's Russia is to call capitalism "big moneyism". (Haha, bad joke, obviously not as awesome as Pescado's original.
For in Soviet Russia book writes YOU, and fact points out YOU!) Capitalism is in essence "big moneyism", but that makes it sound so much worse. Just because a society "communizes" doesn't mean everyone gets 100% the same allowances.
Vietnam would probably have been no better off with Ngo Dinh Diem if it was subject to the same conditions as the Communists. After all, Diem was a ruthless religious fanatic as well as a corrupt bastard, while Ho Chi Minh was quite the more moderate of the communists:
Situation Reversed:
1) USA; a communist nation declares war on South Vietnam.
2) South Vietnam rallies on the anti-colonial spirit to defeat the Northern communists and the USA Army.
3) United Capitalistic/Oligarchial Vietnam starts killing all communists and continues to persecute Buddhists.
(This is the real problem, after a war the people are bound to be swept by hatred.)
(Just an interesting, albeit useless fact: North Korea has the purest language system on earth, as it is untainted by "foreign" influences and apart from using a alphabet, it is phonetic language which means you cannot spell it wrong unless you are a SHEEP! Not that it matters, sheep that TyPe lYk d1S are destroyed. Plus, it has one of the highest literacy rates in the world.)
Welfare is a gimped idea in that some people work out of nothing to build fortunes while others continue their repulsive journey down poverty. The full solution involves heavy mental tampering to blast into the heads of the people recieving welfare as well as their children that they MUST live a life of significance and conscience!
Putting all the political issues about it aside, did not Israel grow into a prosperous economy out of virtually
nothing? Is not the kibbutz in essence a communistic/socialisitc organization? With the proper background socialism has worked and in FAR more awesome ways than the good ole USA with far more unfortunate geographies and histories. The Scandinavian countries are a shining example of that.
Canada is regarded as a moderate/democratic socialist country, as my teachers often attest.

I would buy directly whenever released but it might just stay in box until I know there aren't LFBVFS shoved in there.
쟅 just think that EA/Maxis is out of line demanding that their customers not use programs they dislike while at the same time not bothering to give them a working game.
