Too bad it wasn’t commercial farming, or Abel might have survived.

You could wipe capitalism off the map right now, and within sixty seconds...it’d come right back. It’s kinda like Kudzu...you can’t wipe it out

The soviets still had a black market. Capitalism is human nature. Having your life planned by a central committee is not.

Vietnam is not China.

China and Vietnam, are quite distinct, and completely different.

Just saying... Much, much more freewheeling place, to me here.

Huge.

Profoundly different.

Our founders had a better word or phrase for it than capitalism. They summed it up as our unalienable God-given right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

We are free to own private property, be secure in our homes and private effects, operate a farm or business, enjoy the fruits of our own labor, freely worship God, freedom of speech, right to self-defense and to bear arms, freedom from the heavy hand of government intervention, intrusion or force, etc, etc, ie, our American way of life. No other country on earth was ever conceived where we the people actually run the show and are constitutionally guaranteed the rights to enjoy such God-given freedom.

Socialism is anti-God, anti-freedom, anti-American.

Leftist revolutionaries suck.

This brainwashed groupie is a useful idiot.

When it gets the idea like China did, that being rich is glory, then you’ll see the ugly state driven rape and prostitution start there too. And bye bye to freewheeling or even any kind of respect for nature.

Well, if Capitalism goes, Socialism goes down, too. This Affirmative Action graduate from Boston College doesn’t know that money for “social justice” doesn’t grow on trees. Margaret Thatcher, a true intellectual, said it best, “The problem with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”

“No King but Jesus” was the motto that made it possible. Thank God for “religious nuts.”

The philisophy is very tenacious as it is a spiritual vacuum filler.

“Communism/Socialism won’t always exist” as long as humans strive for freedom.

It was from a kind of sick symbiosis.

I wonder what the capitalists in New York think about this?

Will she be their pet socialist or will they squash her like a cockroach?

Would the ChiComs be producing those goods if the US didn’t pay for them?

Would they find it as easy to do a command regime if the subsidy, which has raped their air and water and land, wasn’t there. I have a hard time being proud of anything “made in China” that feeds this system.
