[kj] (OT) SHOCK!!

[GregSlawson at aol.com]

First, you're right that many terrorists are middle-class or have middle or 
ruling class backing (like Bin Laden). THis backs up my argument that it's part 
of a fight between capitalists (Bin Laden represents Saudi capitalists who 
don't want to share oil profits w/the US, that's why they're nationalists). 
Second, it's obvious, like you said, that communism didn't work in places like N 
Korea, although in Cuba they've done some good stuff. But neither country had 
real communism, and no country today has it (Cuba being the only one that has 
some aspects of it). People (including communists) are intelligent and are 
capable of learning from mistakes of the past. People will be able to learn how to 
implement real communism, where there is not an elite class in control, and 
where, like you said, people treat each other well. I know the "human nature" 
argument will be parrotted next, but that's another story (try talking to 
biologists about human nature).
