Is Philippines better off as a Communist country?!

[Joseph20102011]

A communism/socialist country is where everyone is equal and a communist country with a dictator is not really a communist country. North Korea, China, Stalinist USSR, Vietnam, etc. are not really communist countries. The country that was closest to reaching 100% communism is Cuba but capitalist and corporatist USA is always threatening them. Also, the USSR before Stalin was also close to 100% real communism...

Even Cuba is far from pure communism, Cuba is just like other former and recent communist countries where it really led by a small group of Politburo and the highest of them by position is practically a dictator therefore Cuba is really a politburo dictatorship led by Fidel Castro and Raul Castro. Cuba now realize that communism really failed and adopted some free-market measures like private property and private enterprise however the capitalist revolution in Cuba is holding back by the anti-Castro Cuban emigres in Miami which they well represented at the US Congress. If the US lifts the Cuban embargo within 5 years, Cuba will prosper economically and will have a good shot to enter a developed economic status in the future.

By the way, communism is impossible as long as the human nature of pursuing the self-interest over the other interest prevails and it is just a matter on how we control anyone who'll never going to violate other rights and that thing of violating other rights for your own personal interest is greed not self-interest.

^ China is a capitalist country run by the communist party. Murag libog pero mao na ang situwasyon didto. Communist in name ra sila. They are even more capitalist than Phils.
