Hi everybody,

I'm not really all that political, as most of you can imagine. I'm quite a moderate thinking that some ideas are interesting on the right hand side of the spectrum and equally some ideas from the left are also interesting.

However, I was really suprised that with the history of Capitalism which the US has, somebody in New York decided to celebrate 60 years of Communism in China.

The Empire State Building was awash with colour as it shone throughout the night in Chinas' communist flag colours, not always satisfying the people in the street below, some deciding to demonstrate about grievances they had with the Chinese government.

But the question needs to be asked. Why would a capitalist country want to celebrate communism?

Ideas?

Best regards,

Steve
