I hate Communists

Let’s face it, China is a communist state, forget the capitalist disguise, just the Soviet era modernised.
 
Why is it that in that case, that China refers to itself as being Communist if it isn't?
This is a thread about freedom of speech, but an opportunity for those who know about it (wiki does not count) to share knowledge and to clear up misconceptions.

platypus, it's because I fundamentally disagree with it: it is so idealistic in principle that it can never work, such is the mantra of ambition and greed which man has.
 
Please leave commenting to those who have a faint idea of what they're talking about.

Lenin wouldn't recognise it because Lenin practised Leninism.
Stalin wouldn't recognise it because Stalin practised Stalinism.
I'm pretty sure Lenin didn't wake up every morning and think "I'm going to practice me-ism."
 
What annoys me more is governments from the so called "free world" playing lip service to countries like china because of nothing more than money. Do we really have any more morals than the Chinese?
Why is it that in that case, that China refers to itself as being Communist if it isn't?
Because it's to embarrassing to admit otherwise. They are not a communist country by any standard. America refers to it's self as the "home of the free", and us the "land of hope an glory". Are the Americans free? Do you feel hopeful and glorious?

Thats all well and good, but I wasn't quite sure why you related it in a thread to hating the Chinese.
 
Ceiling Cat would not approve of that!

Actually Ceiling Cat cares not for any form of human government and would prefer a Autocracy (technically a Catocracy)

Anyway, back OT. How they hell does China consistently keep getting away with its human rights violations, invasion of Tibet and so on yet we keep kissing their arse attending their events and buying their goods why they steal all our cheap wheat and fuel. :mad:
 
@platypus,

The main point was the way that China gets away with the blatant disregard and suppression of human rights, which in many countries have constitutions citing these fundamental rights. China also happens to call itself communist so...

@LordS

Catocracy. Interesting concept :p What breed is ceiling cat btw and it has no age im guessing. Does he/she agree with the concept that:

'Freedom of Speech is a fundamental and inviolable right of Man?'

Ceiling Cat is all breeds and none and is all sexes and none. He (I call him he) is approving of your concept.
