What is your opinion about Communism?

[chorlton]

I "think" it's not as bad as the majority think.
Go to Vietnam or china & talk to young people who have travelled out of the country.

I spent a week with a Chinese lad in his mid 20s in Thailand once.
very highly educated/clever boy & spent hours online each day reading up about things he cant access (easily) at home.

His summary was that whilst not perfect for individual freedom it minimises what he described as the non stop bitching & unconstructive arguing that holds the west back a lot & causes terrible conflict between groups of citizens.

im no political expert nor actually care to be & the above is simply my personal experience however I feel that's what a lot of people lack v book knowledge

cheers

Except there is almost nothing communistic in the modern “communist”, except than the name of the ruling party which is preserved for tradition, and the retention of hammer sickle symbology for old time sake.

which country did you visit to determine that ?
