[kj] OT... World Destruction

[Crack]

   I have not mentioned the invasion of other countries by Communists.  
I have only mentioned the social conditions of with-in communist  
countries.
   Can we stick to post WW2 (Capitalism did nt really get going until then):
   What countries have been colonised by capitalists (post WW2) ? Also  
when Capitalists countries have gone to war, it hasn't been to spread  
capitalism.America went into Vietnam primarily to stop the spread of  
Communism and install democracy , NOT to install a Capitalist economy .
   The same cannot be said of Communist regimes , communist regimes  
invaded other countries with the sole aim of colonisng them and  
installing a Communist regime,( whether the indigenous population  
wanted it or not)
             Thats the diference
