: For all those who love to point to China to try to debunk socialism, here is a question for you:

: Q) What song were the students singing in Tiannamen Square when Boeing's most favored nation shot them down in cold blood?

: A) The Internationale!

: Arise Ye Prisoners of Starvation!

'The peoples army have murdered the people.'
Chumbawamba 'Tiannamen Square'

China does debunk the traditional marxist-leninist approach of a party lead revolution but not anarchism/libertarian communism. (Although the students did look to america and got no real support or responce from 'the worlds greatest democracy.' Still I feel I'm about to get into a debate about wether China was socialist or state capitalist with some one who I agree with. Sorry, but China has to be seen as another way in which capitalism exploits , but still pretends to be the best for and representative of the people. I just felt that quote summed up china.)
