Yeah capitalism rules, but let's not forget that until the end of the cold war, 2/3 superpowers (USSR and China) were communist. I think Marx did a pretty good job of installing and popularizing a pretty useless economic system. Compare that to the people who can't get the best system -- capitalism -- working, Marx seems like a pretty effective leader.

Just pointing out the slightly less obvious.

OK....You really BELIEVE that statement? Russia emerged as a "superpower" around 1950 and ended in 1990......what a run....and please remember this, they were a military super power because they had the bomb and invaded and raided other nations for 30 years...the last was Afghanistan...CHina has a BILLION people who serve as our slaves...they make plastic nick knacks for the american consumer for about 10 cents an hour......what an economy.

ATTENTION CITIZENS:
As part of the Bush Administration's ongoing efforts to obliterate all traces of terrorism in the United States, the Department of Justice has commenced registration* of each and every American Patriot. By registering all non-terrorists within our borders, it is our intention to make use of the process of elimination to identify the evil ones who walk among us. If you are a non-terrorist (American Patriot), your participation is required. Please register below.

Well, your politicians -- Reagan and Bush -- were certainly crapping their pants in fear of the Russians.

And W seems to be pretty frightened of the N Koreans. Actually let me change "frightened" to "scared shitless."

History speaks for itself.

I'm not arguing for communism. I'm just pointing out that 2/3 of the world's biggest industrialized nations were in fact communist for a huge chunk of the 20th century.
