Communism is never a good idea. Because the truth of the matter is that all men were not created equal. Some are better at some things while others are better at different things. Communism quashies that difference. Communism robs people of their innate ability of be different. Some people are driven to be dreamers and achievers while others are content to be cogs in the wheels. Each man should be rewarded according to the work he puts forth. If you work harded and more then me who am I to say that you shouldn't reap the spoils of your success?

As for Russia and communism. They never had it and they never came close. Russia has always been too corrupt of a country to make communism work. It's a lofty ideal that will never work.

I agree with you it partially. The very idea of communism was in the equality of the people not the oligarchs. But, what was the Soviet Union it was a good system for simple people. Where did you see that prices have fallen for several years in 3 times? Unemployment was at zero, as well as the homeless.neighbor helping neighbor is good. Only in the USSR. People also received wages differently depending on how much and how they work. Regarding corruption, you are wrong, it was not dawn during communism. In 90-..year.
During the Soviet Union, Soviet policy even worked at various jobs. Today, they just sit and get too much money and power.
Ideology was still good. The USSR was half destroyed after the war and was able to create from scratch industry that could compete with the West. We sent a man into space. U.S. could not do for years, despite the fact that the industry was well developed and the war in the United States was not. What do you think worked yet this system?(U.S. experts got all German aero and rocket structure. 1,800 professionals and almost all the equipment Germany. USSR was only 150 second-level professionals who had no part in the production of the of the missiles.)

It's not that Russia couldn't make communism work. No country could make it work. Just like no country can make objectivism or socialism or libertarianism work. All these "isms" are simply ideological constructs that deny all human motivation that doesn't fit with the ideologue's version of rationality. They all require a perfect world with perfect systems and perfectly perfect people, which, of course, has never existed and never will exist. Ever.

Nicholas II was planning to build under the Bering Strait railway tunnel and connect Alaska and the Far East.Interestingly ever build it.Bridge between North America and Asia should promote unprecedented economic growth on both continents.

China is not reliable and Russia should not be allyed with them. They are still communist, their products are substandard and their culture is far different from Russias as far as I have studied.

Russia and the USA need to stop giving China trade secrets, they are an inferiour nation who are completely discredited in any well respected credible western academic communities. The slave labor is not worth the junk they produce because you dont have direct control over said "slave labor", they could reverse engineer Russian or US tech and use it agaisnt you if their leadership decides so.

Its one thing to have slave labor that you are in direct control of like the USA had when we build the rail system but the chineese have their own govt and military that could cause alot of problems.

The USA, Russia and Germany will always go back and forth because we are all smart people. The chineese have done nothing note worthy since fire works and the only reason they are world players is becasue Russia and the USA are allowing it.

The cheap labor and inferiour products are not worth the intellectual property you are exposing.

Yes there is truth in this. But I would not say that Chinese products are not qualitative. The whole world manufactures its products in China. (Most of the famous companies in the world). Here is an example (from personal experience) - Makita products made in China is no different from the same products made in the USA, Germany, Japan and Romania. Only price. Since the price of the cost of the labor force in these countries is different. Or Lenovo computers or Sony, Yamaha . Very high quality and reliable product.
If it is made by state-owned enterprises, the majority of very high quality. China simply lacks quality raw materials. China is using high quality raw materials within their own country.
With regard to trust. Today Only China and Russia NATO occupation bases. Occupation comes from the U.S.. Not China. The only difference is that countries with NATO bases around China, this friendly country for China. As for Russia, the EU is not friendly country.
But you are right China's access to U.S. technology and Russia could eventually be tragic in the future.
No that's another topic.

I always try to buy things made in either the USA, Germany, Japan or Russia. If anything of quality comes out of china its because the company is bringing in specially materials and upholding strict manufacturing standards but not because that's the way China does things but because that company does not want to loose market share by producing a shoty product.

That is really of secondary concern to the fact that the chineese govt could use your own intellectual property against you, either militarily or economically. IF a group of people is smart enough to develop high tech stuff you don't share it with your enemy you use it to enslave them.

after the communitsts kicked the legitimate govt of china out to Taiwan the US and Russia should have wiped out their govt and used the population for cheap labor on OUR terms. The USA has grown into a weak nation whos time is short. Russia is doing better but hopefully you don't wuss out with china, they are just as much your enemy as the EU.

China is the national equivalent to a leach or a tick, they don't develop anything they just exploit stupid americans and Russians who don't protect their intellectual property. I say let Japan develop a huge army and go in and take china over, no one will use nukes because then that's the end for everyone.

I agree with you and understand your point of view. If we talk about the companies, then yes, I also prefer to buy American products than Chinese. And manufacturing the USA. But if you talk to the example of a Japanese company. If the choice made in the USA or China, it does not matter (if you do not talk about price. As the quality of the same. But if the United States produced written, it is pleasant, but nothing more.
I can not say that the EU and China are enemies. They are not enemies and not friends.
I do not like geopolitics and U.S. politicians, but I can not say that they are bad. They are bad for us, to a greater extent, but they are good for the American people. After all, they are trying to save the economy of the country by any means. Americans to live well.
We return to the topic please Alaska.

Alaskans collect far more from the Federal government for every $1 paid in Federal taxes. Different charts will show different amounts — ranging from $1.09 to $2.24, depending on what payments are included in the accounting (defense spending, transportation projects, infrastructure, education, spending on native tribes, what the Republicans like to call "entitlements," etc.) But I have yet to see a chart in which Alaska isn't running a deficit, something The Economist magazine says they've been doing for more than 20 years. So I guess whenever the majority decides you want to leave, the other states could find something else to do with that money.
