I think that was satire. Not surprising that you wouldn't get that no one on the internet ever seams to ever get satire.SwimmingRock said:
Thats right, because it has more aspects of other political systems than it does of a communist one. Just because they call themselves the 'Communist Party of China' doesn't really mean anything. Saddam Hussain claimed Iraq was a democracy and even had elections; never mind the soldiers in the room with rifles making sure that everybody voted 'correctly'...Combine Rustler said:
It is a common mistake when looking at a political system and saying, 'This country is political system X, therefore political system X has characteristics of this country.' Few countries fit neatly into a specific political system so the way it should be done (and is by political theorists) is what characteristics does this system have, and then match them to a political system to see what it is. China does indeed have some communist characteristics, but it also has capitalist ones (these two are considered by many to be mutually exclusive).
You seem like you are asking this like you are trying to defend him?
If he was a communist would it be so bad. I understand that socialism and the left is a bit more acceptable over here in the UK but we aren't in the fifties anymore.

If you play the audio from Zero Puctuation backwards you will hear select readings from Das Kapital. It's a fact. Also watching too much ZP is known to cause chromosome damage. It's a fact.
WITCH! WITCH!
WITCH! WITCH!
Hey, the figures are there. The US spends 17.4% of it's GDP on healthcare, and it ranks 37th in the world. This map is also here:ElPatron said:

Oh, beautiful irony. You could save money by going universal. Use the search bar; generally, the Escapist supports public healthcare.
PS: Derailing as hard as I can.
I doubt it. I guess his political opinion is much like his opinion on everything else: Everythings shit.
What are we in the cold war? Communism and Capitalists are merely a different way of governing. They are no longer clear-cut superpower rivalry signs.
But I doubt he is a communist, I think he's far too intelligent for that. And don't flame me for that all of you commie students that think you know better.
Communism can do wonders for a smallish society, a developing nation, or a military power. But in the long run, you won't get up to any high level of notoriety, quality of life, you name it.
Which is why Russia and China (The most famous communist powers probably) display incredibly large traits that would actually suggest that they are capitalists. But, they're BORDERLINE communists. Those countries have done so well, because they're communist for their small communities and lower classes, but capitalists for their middle classes and their elite. That is why they're so successful.

Whats wrong with being a communist? unlike the rest of the world america seems to have a massive fear of equality.
It's good but we can do more...Da Orky Man said:

OT: If Yahtzee is a communist, then I'm a badger.
I am most assuredly, not a badger.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is a badger.
