Believing your country is better and having respect for others are not exclusive.
Depends on the nation.
Quote:Not really. Socialist parties in europe are pretty moderate, few members defend walking the communist path, many just favour a little more government intervention and social aid, Sweden style, but never abolishing capitalism. I don't know if the same happens in Russia though
Russia's and the USA are the question asked, and communism and socialism are very similar within the two of these.
I haven't the foggiest as to what passes for socialism or communism in western Europe. China's got its own variety.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
