    You might want to consider some other facts:How is the system corrupted? The whole idea of communism is to get rid of the corruption in government. Even in that sense, communism is more of an economic policy then a form of government. You wanna talk corruption? Hasn't it always been the monarchys that have royalty? Take Britain for example, how many times have its leaders lived in the lap of luxury while its own people suffered?Stalin's rule may have been brutal but it actually helped Russia a lot. Steel production went up 600% because of Stalin, and the citizens' standard of living also rose three-fold. Without him, Russia would have been stuck in the even harder periods of the Czars and Bloody Sundays.All these lies about "starving the Russian Masses" was created by imperialists (i.e.: Britain, France, etc.) Stalin raised wages and lowered prices of goods. Between 1934 and 1937 bread prices were lowered by more than half, butter the same; the price of eggs was cut by nearly three-quarters; prices for meat were slashed by 63 percent and for lump-sugar by 73 percentSocial services boomed. Child mortality plummeted. Cotton and grain production tripled. All these developments took place while imperialist shills and scribblers shed buckets of crocodile tears over Stalin's "Reign of Terror."Face it, all you've been seeing is the capitalist's idea of Stalin's Russia. I used to believe that crap too, until I looked at the real facts and statistics. Brush up on your history before trying to make a point, genious.

  • Time will tell...

    With the upcoming elections in Taiwan, it is hard to say whether or not the two plan to seek reunification any time soon. Taiwan is still considered a break-away province by many in the Mainland, and some conservatives in Taiwan want complete independence and are against reuinification. But I feel that big changes are in store for the two.

  • Strange citing...

    Where are your sources? If you're going to cite at least do it correctly something giving us a number in parentheses isn't going to do it. There's nothing at the end to clarify where the information came from.
