Re: Castro, was he right? said by rahvin112:Please don't equate socialism and communism. The only real difference is that communists shoot people that try to leave.
Remember communist Russia called themselves the Soviet Socialist Republic.

Oh, and the US is a republic - does that make us like the old Soviets? |

2 edits | Guys, get real. IMHO, there isn't a real difference... the commies/socies/whatever you want to label them as are at least open about it. Our gov't isn't really any better, when we spend half our resources bombing other countries and trumpeting our fake 'democracy', while spending the other half on listening into our own citizens and occasionally strip-searching them.
And yes, the 'democracy' we trumpet IS fake.. we're a republic, and anyone that attempts to gloss that over with the shiny coating of democracy is an idiot who needs to take high school history over again.
And for crissake, keep an open mind to other ideas. Funny how we expect N. Korea/China/Former commies to accept our "democratic"/liberal ways, when we ourselves edge away from their ideals as if it was a bad disease.
Now, back on topic: I think it's at least a step in the right direction, although hardly a setback for the 'evil-uns' |
