[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tahna Los: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [qb]No, the number one problem is human nature. Communism is fine if there's not a shred of greed in anyone.

And yes, it is difficult (but not necessarily impossible) for Capitalism and Socialism to co-exist, their values and policies somewhat contradict with each other. While Cuba is still the same old rusty little island, China has been opening itself up to the world, bit by bit. Capitalism is beginning to rear its head in that nation (McDonalds, fancy clothes, fancy jewellry etc), though the government is not practising the true aspects of democracy. But it doesn't necessarily mean that Capitalism is the only good social policy out there. It's anyone's guess when China will be able to shake the curse of Mao Tse Tung. But it will be a long time indeed. [/QB][/QUOTE]
