so had so many people believed after the fall of USSR, PR.China would fall short. but history proved them wrong, what they have now is a ever stronger China, with fast growing economy and world-wise-influence.
that proved two things: 1st, Communism isn't necessarily evil. 2nd, what YOU understand about communism isn't 100% correct.
however, lets not carry this debate into Communism vs Capitolism. that just makes nationalism sounds all the more correct and make sense. it is not the case here.
one thing to point out here: I am not accusing ANYONE being nationalism or whatever here. Personally, I think people like Grey Mage and the Sirs (
) have a lot of pride, which is not a bad thing. If no pride, comes no courage. I never linked pride with nationalism, clear?
I noticed Rickard said:
Whatever China says and does
US will always see them a communists
I believe, most of the people of United States are sensible and minded. However, they have been intentionally misled by certain media and VERY few benefitial group of people. The ones shout that "China is preparing for war" are the ones that can gain from making the war with China. After all, as a normal, rational person, WHO wants a war? I am afraid not everyone is making the rational choice when he
increasingly send spyplanes along Southern China sea.
I liked one quote Yorick said so very much, it is:
about those who would win the war, there is no winner
War is the curse of humanity
