Did they realize you are a capitalist infiltrator?

Remember: to be #1, run faster than those before you because that's the only way you left behind those now behind you! :)

I born and brought up in a democratic country but what i feel today wether you are in democratic ,capitalist or communist country all are almost equal....these are the diffenent forms of ruling people...and common people always have problem but in other hand there is diffenece between all these in percentage like
Democracy : on paper liberty 100% but in reality may be 50 to 60 %
Communist : on paper 100 % equality but in reality 0 %

I may be wrong,because its my observation...

Hi Anil,

There are not many communist countries left to count now.  Capitalism won the psychological war on socialism which was a farce on a grand scale.
Now that capitalism is dominant, how will it evolve?  Where is it going?

You are correct with the 50-60% and 100% - 0% figures. :D

My question is about born & raised in communism, a draconic social system.

Why is it important? Because we, expats who lived is such conditions and participated in its demolition, must tell people where we are in democratic countries our stories and must watch for the social illness which communism was, NOT to contaminate other parts of the world again.

Nothing was good in socialist/communist regimes.

I thought it's a good question for me to ask, but the forum members will vote to make it good or bad.

Anybody else comment please?
