      Yes, I agree. I do not agree with their actions. Am just sharing it as a reminder that communism failed regardless of how bad capitalism performed in Africa or other parts of the world.

          Because Michael Moore said so? If it is true, why does he not migrate to Cuba or have his surgery performed in Cuba for free? Why doesn’t Michael Moore send his children to Cuba for the best education? You can migrate to Cuba too, nobody is stopping you. Migrate for their best healthcare and education.

      Continue blaming others for your own shortfall is not the path to success. Communist China and Vietnam in the 50’s used to blame USA Capitalist for everything, they made amazing progress now when they open up and decided not to scapegoat America for everything. This includes Russia, which has a better living condition when compared to the 50’s USSR.

      If blaming the Boers will lead to better life, by all means, continue blaming, just like how Castro blame USA for everything. Work hard, work smart and don’t blame or expect others for free handouts and your will be successful.

        Love your comments. Arabs are also famous for blaming everything on the Zionist Jews and the United States. For centuries and way before America or The UK were even in the picture, Arabs were killing each other because they were from different tribes and had different loyalties. There was no America then. People like that will spend all their lives and the lives of many more generations blaming others for their failures. It’s always someone else’s fault. Whether or not capitalism is fair, we know for a fact that Communism and Socialism are huge failures and they continue to be failures. Capitalism has its own drawbacks, but overall, it’s the only system that offers people a road to success.
