Again, it comes down to how one defines terms, such as "capitalism," or, for that matter, "police force".What on earth are you talking about? China and Vietnam -both- make use of capitalism to great effect. If those two are examples, they are a social democracy and a social republic both ruled by the historic communist party...but they are in no way communist, or even remotely fully communist countries. In context, they just employ more central planning than we do, which I think is a good thing. We could employ more central planning as well - or they could loosen their own..and none of us will imperil our socialist, democratic, republic, or capitalist cred.
N. Korea...frankly, doesn't have shit worth emulating. What you call police I call an army of occupation.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
