The one thing that actually works, state run communism a bit– may not be your cup of tea, but their government works."


Nothing surprises me anymore.

It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

Very accurate.

Syrian President Assad thought goverment was working for himself and his cronies, but some of his citizens now disagree.

The context of the "quote" was that the Chinese economy is strong at this time, that their state run economy is working. Can anyone disagree with that statement?

The Chinese economy is doing well because of their ever increasing embrace of free market principles and less regulation. It's been a slow improvement over the last 30 years but the result is that hundreds of millions of Chinese are now living middle class lifestyles.

Our government should try these ideas sometime, capitalism worked in China.
