5. This is communism getting wealthy at the cost of the rest of the world

It is an experiment by the Chinese government where the wealth is shared with the people. But it is not how the rest of China works at all.

7. This is not the China that my friends have described after

visiting there. A few weeks ago we heard a report on how dismal and impoverished life in China is. So, what is the truth?

8. The magic words in this piece are "co-op" & "stakeholders".

K&R to this, and all case studies of alternatives to our corrupt, predatory capitalist model.

Let a thousand better ideas bloom & flourish.

11. no it's not. The reason why you have such a high standard of living

Edited on Sun Dec-12-10 12:57 PM by SemperEadem

is your unfair trade policy, your undervalued currency and the fact that your countrymen/women will work for .25/hr. THAT is why you have the standard of living you have.

15. It doesn't say it, but are all the workers in the various industries residents of the village?

I find it hard to believe that workers in garment trades could each have a quarter million dollars in the bank given the low wages generally paid to them. Who decides who can live in the village; I've been to developing countries and I would think when word of this got out, people would be streaming in to look for work. Of course, I could be wrong, but as someone has already said...good propaganda piece.

16. SILLY AS IT MAY SOUND BUT THIS WAS GENE RODDENBURY'S MESSAGE ON STAR TREK

When Kirk was asked by a visitor from the past how people earn money he replied
that everyone works for the common good for all, they have no desire for more than
their fellow human being.
Imagine that today ? Too much greed for it to happen. But it's refreshing when you hear
some billionaires are giving away all their wealth like the Gate's, Buffet and Turner who
is down to only millions in personal wealth.
Hey, we can all dream, can't we ?
