| I live in South Africa. Currently run by a so called democratic / socialist government, yet all they do is kick white people to the side and make them pay for their mistakes (literally). Look at our Power cuts (they call it load shedding) We must now pay a 60% increase due to their ignorance and no care for the equipment that has been broken. It was looked after before they fired all the white people that knew how to take care and look after things. If it's not yours you'll break it. |

| the wicked one | You probably don't know the difference between socialism and communism. In Germany, where I live it's not very socialistic (some Americans doubt that though) Right now the Government is a coalition of the social democratic and the conservative party getting >70% of the Votes in the last elections. If you don't like your government, don't vote for them, that's how a democratic republic works. South African general election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |

You got the same freedom of press rating as the US according to List of indices of freedom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Just because you think your press isn't free doesn't make your country a communist country. And no, socialism isn't the slow version of communism. I'd say the "anti"-white stuff you posted originates from the aftermath of the Apartheid rather then because of socialistic tendencies. | |

| It's so communist that promotions and savings accounts with incentives gets closed down due to BEE(Black empowerment) FNB created a savings system where by they got 30000 new savers every month due to the incentives, like a million Rand and other great prizes just for saving your money in their bank. SA lottery run by BEE and Government decided that FNB was like the lotto. FNB: Save R100 and you could win. (Your money is always available) SA Lottery: Waist your R100 with no guarantee that you will win anything You decide. Last edited by westmatrix : 05-04-2008 at 04:36 PM. |

Yes communism is harsh "maybe" socialism isn't as harsh, but it's close enough, life is black and white (not people color), it's ON or it's OFF there is no in between. Last edited by westmatrix : 05-04-2008 at 04:45 PM. | |

| My friends think that I am racist, but if you can't do the job then why are you hired, just because of Skin color? In SA we will hire you in our Rugby, Soccer or any sport as long as you are black, we don't care if you can play or not. This is how it is here in South Africa. Outside people won't see it.
