ask the Russians who stood in bread lines all day or the chinese kids who were run over by fucking tanks in red square how awesome socialism is. it doesn't fucking work. but w're gonna find that out soon enough. Socialism and Communism sucks. I am living in China right now for crying out loud. It does not directly effect me because I am a foreigner and get special advantages/have a nice living arrangement. It's sad too because the Chinese are so brainwashed and naive it seems so far, it's like they're happy about living under a dictatorship. It's not all bad though, life here is awesome for me personally. Even for native Chinese in some places it's REALLY nice/awesome. I've only been here for a month and love it so far. I don't have much beyond a high school diploma and I am on the other side of the world teaching and living a good life with no debt. I also have plans to travel to other countries doing the same thing. Only work for hours a day (at the most), traveling, making money, training martial arts, ahhhhhh... It's nice living the dream.
