now?Where would we be if socialism was successful somewhere?
Typical idealist. Millions of innocent people have to die and suffer before he gets to luxuriate in his disillusionment.
About a week into my first year at college I walked into the cafeteria to be regaled by a loud chorus of "take the eggs!" coming from the people who had gotten there ahead of me. The cafeteria was offering a choice between pancakes with bacon and sausage or scrambled eggs with bacon or sausage. The eggs didn't look very good, but the pancakes looked light, fluffy and golden brown. So naturally everybody, disdaining the advice, took the pancakes--myself included. It wasn't until I was seated and had taken the first bite that I realized my mistake--the damned things not only tasted abominable, but were heavy as lead to boot. There was nothing to do but join in the chorus of "take the eggs!" until the last pancake had been served and the last dupe taken his place amongst the swollen ranks of the disillusioned.
Perhaps Jane Fonda could fly over and cheer the Vietnamese Communists up!
And insight into the yield of "real" Communism, another case history (human nature at work!). Ah, the ideals of youth and those who never grow up!
If we could just once hear such clarity of thought from a leading Democrat - it might signal a revival within that party. Of course, we would probably have to let the Democrats completely trash our country before some of them would wake up. Fortunately for us, Ronnie Reagan wasn't going to let them do any more damage than they already had by 1980.
now? One of the symptoms of the communist infestation. Necessary if the New Social Order is to evolve. Chaos and misery are communism's handmaidens.
Screw 'em. They got what the deserve.
A free market is what occurs naturally when people are free. Communism, socialism, and Marxism always have to be imposed, people always have to die, and the people who impose it on others never have to live in squalor like their subjects. Socialism, and its various offshoots are evil.
Give communism some credit...it protects the proletariat from being taken advantage of by the evil capitalists, and keeps them from outsourcing their jobs to other nations.

A big IF!
Except John Kerry....
I had no idea there was still a Vietnamese royal family nor did I know they were issuing press releases from Aurora, Illinois. I thought that after the emperor Bao Dai abdicated and left Vietnam for France that was the end of them. Check out this November 10th press release:

"We" includes the mothers of all America crushers: the American press and John Kerry. Oh how they loved their Ho -- and to this day. To the rescue they came helping the commies get normal relations -- and a Kerry cousin get lucrative contracts.
BUMP
An interesting post, Joe. Thanks.
They obviously need Jane Fonda to go over there and help them "pray" more. (/sarc.)
Yeah, well, they had a lot of help from the democRATs, the American media and other fifth columnists here in America.
Vietnam was one war that our soldiers were never allowed to fight.
The failure of communism is because it can only work with nice people. The world is not nice. People are selfish, family obsessed, and with a host of other faults. They need a system like capitalism that fits these features. Competition, money, and winner takes all fit the evil world quite well. That’s why it works. It’s not that communism is wrong it’s that poeple are wrong.
Therefore, we immediately implemented it in America.
