Russia is selling Mach 3 anti ship missiles to Iran and China it seems to stir the pot. They are probably just dying to have one of these countries use one against a carrier.

Capitalism is just that, capitalising.

Its exploitation of many people by a few people. Its grossly unfair and I personally see all jobs having equal worth in any society, to my mind, the binman is just as important as the Teacher, or the Doctor, or the Policeman. Or any of the other higherups.

Having said that, a true system of communism would never work in a million years because people are inherently selfish always wanting more. Not wanting to settle for less. There is nothing wrong with wanting to better oneself, but its wrong to do so at the expense of others.

Now that you said that and now that, and looking at the US, how do you rate us? We are not, nor have when been a true capitalist society since the Robber Barons. We lean heavily on the Capitalist side than the Socialist side, or at least did for the last half of the 20th Century.

Now compare that to a pure Socialist system like the old Soviet Union. Which is it that you like?

Now let me ask you, have you ever been in a country of pure oppurtunity and allowed to take part in it? The question I have, have you ever been outside of your cage?

Now to trump this whole entire conversation:

Putins plan is to turn things back into the old Soviet Union, so if you don't want to be a commie, better pick a different leader.

oy. i figured russians would not let their arch nemisis (americans) take over their country, look, think about it russia becomes a super power, cold war, BUT both us and russia know they cud both wipe each other out so they dont attack each other..... BUT theres a problem, china, and iran werent as powerful back then as they r now... solution: nuke te hell outta them by teaming up, or by creating some miracle treaty. en the end no one wins and we all die in a massive nuclear winter, if i had more money, id set up nuclear underground shelter, with at least 30 yrs of food and water supply.
