International Viners.

I have a question for viners who live in communist controlled countries. Does communism work?

Not all viners who don't live in the US (myself included) Live in communist countries.

I live in Brazil, where the currently ruling political party has communist leanings, but that doesn't quite make our whole country communist. At the very core, we are still democratic capitalists just like in the USA. With that said, there is some exceptions, such as if oil is discovered in the region where you live, you are evicted from your home and this land becomes the government property.

I assume living on a communist country must suck however.

My Grandparent's friend lived in China for a while. He said it was horrible.

It's offensive to assume non-Americans are Communist

I do not live in a communist controlled country but I can say that Communism is the biggest form of HYPOCRISY there is. They are said to promote equality, but look at any communist controlled country and you can see the big difference between the upper class and lower class.

I come from one of the few countries in the world to ever beat a Communist insurgency (credit goes to Britain for helping out, definitely).

And it is worth mentioning. That neither capitalism or communism are "perfect" systems. Neither system works perfectly.

This. No system works perfectly. Otherwise we'd all be using it.

No doubt.

And I'd like to add that the Brazilian political party in question is shamelessly corrupt and extremely unpopular among the people too.

@edamame: What economic system do they use?

Hmm interesting. Go figure I guess.

I just wanted to ask is your AV The Grudge?

Ah I see.

I don't think I have actually :/
