death penalty

[Agamemnus]

Um, na_th_an, all the South American problems was caused because of Communism, too. Some of it was from Russia, some of it was home-grown, I believe.

And, the US lost the Vietnam war, and it was a liberation from Communist invasion, you know.

Also, I wouldn't characterize this as an economic war. Although a few fools might protest, Communism is not an economic system, it is a political system. The communism that occured in much of the Soviet Union, and still does occur in that area, would make corruption in capitalist countries look like stealing candy in comparison.

Don't forget your human rights abuses under both Soviet and Chinese communism. That is not characterized as an "economic system". The socialist economic system that developed from Russian communism and Chinese communism (up to a few decades ago in China) was incredibly wasteful and inefficient.

Prime example: aural sea. Do you know what it looked like a half century before? Now look at it.

Another example:
worker A, worker B. Worker A sees that worker B is hardly working at all. Worker B gets the same pay regardless of work because the Communist government pays them both the same amount. Worker A decides to MOVE TO THE CAPITALIST USA because worker A realizes this idiocy will ultimately lead to collapse of the government.

If you think about it, it's a wonder that the Soviet Union, and its Communism, lasted as long as it did. Only two factors kept it together: government oppression and a worker ethic that lasted for quite a while. (ie: the worker A/worker B scenario didn't occur until the last decades of the Soviet Union)

Anyone who wishes to reply to me can save your breath, because I'm not replying back. I lived in Russia, and none of you did. None of you know about communism more than me.
