Creativity
The need to improve
The need to get things easier
Will always exist
That wasn't priority in Russia
But in a good working communism
There will be people just Creativ minds
Because they are good at it

Is it just me or does everyone else think of the fake "alabama man" commercial from south park when John D Harris post a message.

"Alabama man now with slap up bitch hand action! ALABAMA MAAAAAAAN!"

I think that 80 years of the failed Soviet experiment show that it's virtually impossible to make communism work in a society that is so large and has so many different variables and causal factors.

Communism is a concept which cannot be put into practice, due to human nature and ambition.

Caleb--
That is the exact impression I get of JDH

As for the stars, you get them as your number of posts increases. Lord Ao is like the God of Gods in the realm of some fictional story

But can we truly say Democracy and Capitalism is working out? Do we not have people living in poverty? Do we have a true 'free market' system? I am not saying Democracy and Capitalism is bad, but I think it could be greatly improved

Well I suppose if you compare yourself to another 16-year old who was accepted in to A.P. history but got kicked out in 2 weeks because I had the suckiest history day project in all the U.S. then I guess you are pretty wise.

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
