Chinese youths embrace communism -- 22 August 2008

Despite the demise of communism around the world in the last three decades China's community party has had little problems finding new members.

In the last five years three-quarters of those who flocked to join the Communist Party of China were under the age of 35.

A young party member shares with Al Jazeera his reasons for joining the political machine that has ruled China for almost 60 years.

@mburke5557 Well CLEARLY you have been brainwashed "Down to the last Core of yourself"

You americans think you know so much, the real thing is. You live in a fucking bubble where the government and media tells you what they want to tell, no matter if it is true or fiction.

Since 1917 the US have been feeding you propaganda and lies against communism, And they have done such a good job, you are worse than creationist's who refuse the truth and fact!

What is your definition of communism? I do only see hardcore capitalism in China

[mburke5557]

Communism will always fail as it is a counterfeit devised by satan himself to fail. The problem with the USA is we've forgotten (brainwashed) that we are a Republic not a Democracy. We have let communist infiltrate our government and have failed to make them honor the contract that keeps us free (Our Constitution). Capitalism is what grew us to the world power we are today. Unconstitutional government mingling with capitalism is what is destroying our economy. They want freedom to fail.

@Wraith23 yeh, keep lying to yourself ;)

"dedicated workers who have invested a good part of their lives to a company, wouldn't vote to outsource their own work to 3rd world sweatshops in China or Indonesia."

Obviously a worker will always vote to keep his job no matter what. The point is if such workers have the right over the property and investment of others.

The solution is quite simple, have those workers start their own company and run it "democratically". There is nothing in capitalism that prevents them from doing so.

@TranshumanCyborg

"If it was just commonplace for workers to have some sort of democratic control over company policy"

First that would mean that such workers, unless they invested in the company themselves, STOLE that property from the original owners who started that enterprise.

Second you wrongly imply that any arbitrary"democractic" decision is correct one, it is not. Without respect for private property any rational production becomes impossible.
