151. You mean France, Greece, Italy, and most of the EU?
Edited on Mon May-31-10 12:51 AM by JackRiddler
They've all had socialists in government. Italy's had post-communists in government. Even Labour was prior to Blair heavily socialist.

Don't you get tired of the bullshit? China isn't even socialist. It's state capitalist. Very obviously so. It enslaves its people to produce cheap shit for you. It's been the most important prop for capitalism of the last couple of decades.

Nicaragua's got a Sandinista government, right now. It was the end of the world, right?

Look at the Carribbean and Central America, and compare the relative records of the few socialist governments that survived assaults from the northern colossus to the governments espousing "free markets" in the same region.

Quick, do you want to be a peasant in El Salvador or Cuba?
