  1. Denmark is not a world power. But China is. And so is Angola's former backer, Russia.

  2. Privatization and austerity.

  3. The US funds the UN.

  4. Namely the left wing.

  5. Guyana already did socialism.

  6.  @fenian123  More like Democrats.

  7. LOL. That's if you don't mind empty shelves and barely any food at all. Plus, communism is even more notorious for its waste of resources.

  8. And nothing will ever change even if the 1% shared with the 99% as the 99% are too short-sighted and frivolous to put that wealth to good use resulting in most of them ending up right back to poverty and hardship.

  9. They did. Back in the final years of Chavez's rule.

  10.  @johnmuthan286  Yet the majority of the crimes in the US are committed in the cities with high regulations all ran by Democrats.

  11. Exactly.

  12. <but nobody wants to do that> Because no one has the right to decide how many babies someone decides to make.

  13. And that's a good thing given how leaders have run their individual countries since 1957 (Ghana's independence) be it Western puppets like Mobutu or Eastern puppets like Mengistu and Barre.

  14.  @fgsaramago  Doesn't matter.

  15. Not in Angola's case. Yet another socialist failure.
    1
  16. LOL. That was Ethiopia under Mengistu.

  17.  @wilthomas  Mississippi's capitol is run by the left.
    1
  18. Which is payback for the blatant, open institutional racism against the black majority.
    1
  19. So you're saying that Black people have no agency and can't achieve anything without White people?

  20. In Canada, public transit is useless if you don't live in either Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver.

  21.  @chillhomie7  And also if he cares about economic development as opposed to personal enrichment.

  22. Guyana was that well before the oil back in the 70's and 80's.
    1
  23. And if enacted, it will just be used to silent dissenters and political rivals.

  24. Diversity is overrated.

  25. @BOB K The US is not suffering from a lack of development.
    1
  26. But short-lived, though.
    1
  27. But the Bolshevik Revolution did.
    1
  28. But Angola is not that capitalist.
    1
  29. Guyana is yet another country still trying to rid itself of the stench post-colonial socialism left behind.

  30.  @johnmuthan286  Only in population. But not in land mass.
    1
  31. The MPLA and Dos Santos are far-left.
    1
  32. The Northern part of Africa is not black.
    1
  33. Would that be the Russians?
    1
  34. Exactly.
    1
  35. A lot of Canada's food contain soy.
    1
  36. Not really. Remember the Tower of Babel and how God give the people different languages to thwart their efforts due to the people's arrogance and vanity.
    1
  37. LOL. Angola missed out on nothing. The Marxist-Leninist party which is the MPLA won the war and has been in power ever since.
    1
  38. Angola was Soviet-backed and won the civil war.
    1
  39. <these Arab tribal sheikhs have an intense desire to improve the lives> I would not say that. It's a matter of social control. As long as the economy is booming and there's a tangible improvement in overall living conditions, people are willing to sacrifice freedom for security if Arab Spring proved anything especially in Tunisia.

  40. Better than the economy controlled and inevitably stifled by evil corrupt local governments apparently.
    1
  41. Like Haiti, Liberia and Zimbabwe?
    1
  42. Don't forget imperialist Russia/USSR.
    1
  43.  @derekkearns3377  Ukraine would like a word with you on that.
    1
  44.  @FishbedMyBeloved  <of those below them. > With those below them happily voting for them, because they're gullible and only care about what they can personally benefit from at the expense of their neighbors and the nation's economic viability.
    1
  45. The one-child policy got repealed in 2017.
    1
  46. Only for a short period of time. That was one of the reasons the Spanish Empire declined and eventually became no more.

  47.  @pitabread79  <Despite what they call themselves, the MPLA is not socialist and definitely not communist. > Yes they are. <Angola has a form of state capitalism,> A by-product of socialism. Who knew that socialists happen to be the biggest practitioners of capitalism around? Like their idol, Friedrich Engels? < Power and wealth are still concentrated in a small number of unaccountable hands, ripe for corruption and exploitation. It's oligarchy with a thin socialist veneer.> Like every other socialist/communist regime that ever existed.

  48. Better than being ruled by a Marxist.

  49.  @lucasplz2429  And neither would you. And NO! Scandinavia is not a credible example.

  50. Communism stagnated India for decades after independence.
