All things disgusting with and around dump

Communist countries consolidate their wealth in a central government.
The people who make the rules and control the wealth live like kings, while they dole out the scraps evenly (allegedly) and judicially (allegedly) to the groveling hordes.
Kinda like Santa Monica.

What countries are Communist? China and Cuba?

China has two rails.
They saw the failures of the soviet model and have employed a capitalist system that creates wealth, but is ultimately subservient to the central government.
Kinda like Santa Monica, only more freedom.
Cuba is a relic of the old Soviet Empire.
Post Castro, freedom is sneaking in bit by bit, and its only a matter of time before it becomes a playground for the rich and famous again.

And Vietnam - all places where USA diplomacy failed.

So does Cuba and Vietnam have a bunch of wealthy communists? I’ve been to Vietnam...thriving little country but I must have missed all those wealthy Commies enslaving the regular folk.

I agree with both those analyses. But people obviously love Santa Monica...it has exploded. Too crowded for me so, sadly, I never go there anymore.

Why do you care, we pay for your government provided healthcare?

No. You don't. I pay for my own.

 

[Bruddah IZ]

I have 3 houses and no pool. I didn’t want to risk being called exclusionary. I’m not a big fan of whitey either.

Of course you are.

 

[xav10]

Really? Your employer the federal government doesn’t pay for it?

Bit of a contradiction in terms, bunch of and wealthy.

Where do they get you people from?

Agree. I think they're slowly moving toward capitalism. Economic Freedom is pretty addicting.

 

[xav10]

Where do they get you people from?

That’s the answer? You’ve told us you work for the VA or something, right? They don’t pay your insurance?

Wow, a logical and correct statement from you. Maybe a first! I have agreed with your and Ricky’s last posts. What’s going on?

Free market. Duh!

 

[Bruddah IZ]

That’s the answer? You’ve told us you work for the VA or something, right? They don’t pay your insurance?

No. They rely on me to pay for other peoples insurance too, so I pay. Please tell me you haven't been under the impression that government employees get free healthcare?

Reality may be creeping in on them.

You don't need to hide it from your fellow nutters and the rest of us, you guys are chock full of hypocrisy in every way. You can still rail against what you see as lies, it's just strange the parameters you work in to define such. Strange that you are adamant about a president whose mischaracterizations can be counted on one hand, with fingers to spare, and ignore the daily barrage that comes from the current prez.

You must be getting smarter.

I see. Who are the richest people in the world? Putin and who else? Which Communists, exactly?

Reality may be creeping in on them.
