@kopellhinex although i prefer using the terms "marxism" and "leninism" instead of "communist"... the term "communism" was dragged down into dirt by corrupt leaders like stalin and in my opinion has nothing to do with the real ideology anymore like it had before.

@buddacafe Bah, America at the pinnacle of modern capitalist utopia? Then why do they depend upon oil from the middle east? Why are their veterans starving the streets? Why do they owe billions to China?

@Nueroactive I'm not exactly sure what your stance is, but I see you are very passionate about it.

@wrylie188 The US gets most of its oil from Canada and Mexico. And they also have lots of untapped oil reserves in their soil.

@wrylie188 Well, maybe USA should steal intellectual ideas and produce billions of dollars of copyrighted products as the Chinese have done to kill their competitors and steal from all who work hard to build better products. Furthermore, any nation who makes agreements with thieves allows their children's inheritance to be stolen from them while they sleep! A Father must love His children and not leave them to any vulnerability! Trade with China is like adultery, so daddy divorce can happen!
