Which Communism? From the little I've studied, Russia's seems
to be the same peasant economy without one individual ruler
who inherited the job.

China's (from reading and observation) seems to have been the
only method to restore the country's resources and survival.
China was being run by the Ottoman's equivalent of Jannissaries.
This seems to be a key to the cessation of a political and
economic empire.

I don't know. I'm still trying to figure all of this out.

You appear to be 100% ignorant of humour.

Thank you. We aren't taught this in US schools. It took me
a while to accept that Viet Nam was a part of WWII that
wasn't finished in deference to France. I guess there
was such a big mess to clean up in Europe, these kinds of
matters were put at the bottom of things to do when there
is more time and money.

I'm still trying to figure out how people keep track of
all these kinds of details when they're having things
we call summit meetings.

It appears that you are incapable of thinking.

I no longer think that human matters can be mapped to this
kind of effect. It's more similar to EMF or an infinite-node
network but I haven't spent much time thinking about this.

Pushing in certain areas is not the best way to prevent future
messes. I've found that the only way for people to learn how
not make new messes is to have them clean up the ones they
already made.

Then there are the ones who intend to make big messes because
it is their religious mandate to make uncleanable messes.
This requires a different approach.
