Yo "intellectuals" please name one Communist regime that ever freed it's people because the state got TOO RICH

Question

Yet China can have NO OTHER future than that of peace and democracy if one listens to the "wisdom" of the day. That Wal-Mart's daily profiteering from and investing in Communism for two decades, with both Clinton's help, to avoid living wages at home and undermine American labor, enriching and saving a failed regime that murdered tens of millions of it's own people to maximize company profit is GOOD for the Chinese people!? This argument is as stupid and insulting today as it ever was and sadly even educated and well-meaning people puke the Hillary line despite all our expense. Wake up please, WAKE UP! Hillary and Bill Clinton, Robson and Jim Walton and David Glass and Lee Scott are traiters and should meet justice and WAL-MART IS AN OPERATING NATIONAL SECURITY RISK THAT MUST BE DISMANTLED! The future of the free world is at stake. If you choose to defend these people then first answer my question. You cant free a slave by enriching the owner so please stop asserting that stupidity!

To Meg; your totaly right but Im not woried as much about the ghost of Presidents past as I do the future. To Lynne; yep. Will anyone answer this question?

Answer 1

Who is "meg"? Can't see any answer from a meg, here.

Just in case you or others don't realise, the Berlin wall and the bamboo curtain were built to keep citizens in not keep foreigners out. Hope this doesn't surprise anyone.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely (who are governments answerable to in communist lands - NO ONE!) Have a wealthy red (oxymoron, I realise) country and you have great devisions between rich (government class) and the rest. Supposed to be egalitarian but NO WAY.

Just do a study of North Korea and see how the wealth it generates is used to keep the powerful in power. Poverty is rampant and it need not be. Give me a mixed economy, anyday.

Answer 2

I typically don't respond to these sorts of rant, but I'm making an exception in this case...

What are you talking about? No communist regime has freed its people because it became too rich. Now, I'm assuming you are saying that China is a communist country that is getting too rich to consider "freeing" its people. You also imply that this is Wal-Mart's fault and the corporation should be dismantled. If you pay attention to the news, you would know that there is growing concern over income-inequality in China. The Economist recently wrote an article that discussed why China should be wary of the situation because it's lower and middle classes far outnumber it's military.

How exactly is this Wal-Mart's fault? China doesn't force people to work at Wal-Mart. People choose to work there because it's better than any other option they have. Dismantling Wal-Mart would just send workers on to the next low-wage job. Additionally, a new company would probably come in to take Wal-Mart's place.

Just for kicks, let's say you do dismantle Wal-Mart and stop trading with China. Even this may not be enough to force China to change its way. There are hundreds of other countries in the world that would love to have China's cheap goods. Why do you want to raise prices on Americans, which would essentially make low-income Americans even poorer because they won't be able to buy cheap goods anymore. If the Chinese people feel they are being treated unfairly, then let them stand up and demand change.

Unless everyone in the world stands against China and tells them to change, who are we to do so? If the majority of the Chinese people would stand against the government and demand change, the world would back them. In the meantime, why don't you go ahead and continue boycotting Chinese goods, which I'm sure you're already doing, right? I don't make a stellar salary, so I enjoy being able to shop at Wal-Mart and similar stores and pay low prices.

Answer 3

Is your Question/Rant against Communism or the capitalists? You mention Communism as the problem, but the bulk of your content is an argument against concentration of wealth into the hands of those who own corporations (and corporate financiers and in defense of workers who you seem to feel deserve greater share of profits.
