Bitt, Cuba is a good place to live? Ask the people in Miami about that. Hmm... I wonder why so many are hoping on rafts and floating to their deaths...

It seems that communism/socialism is only supported by "the people" when those people are living it utter poverty. Then, "just enough to get by" is more than they have. It's weird how after thousands of years of humanity, and hundreds of attempts at successful communist governments (with everyone here so far saying they don't work) several of you still have this vision in your heads that "maybe it'll work this time if...." It's so dreamy to think of a day when I won't be able to vote, express my opinion or practice religion! Sign me up!

Bonzi, the reason that communism is only faught from the outside is because it CAN"T be faught from within. Just ask the student uprisers in Chinese jails.

On another note: Someone said the concept of countries falling like dominoes to communism was a silly concept. Didn't they fall like dominoes to Democracy after the Berlin Wall fell? Looking back, it seems like another country was leaving communism to their history books each week back in the early 90's.
