<<Post war electronics were better than anything in the west.>> EXCUSE ME, but did the Communists invent the transistor, the IC, the LED, the microwave oven, stereo, color TV, ....? Where did you get your warped electronics history information?

Marek, the west was the first to develop the atomic and hydrogen bombs. The Soviet Union relied on spies to help them develop their bombs. No single nation has a monopoly on talent and innovation but the US is right up there with the best if not the best. BTW AK 47 is great soviet invention. Mike

<Communism provided competition to the democratic countries.> You have no idea what competition is. Competition denotes a dynamic process of rivalry among nations, firms and individuals in which only the fittest survive and thrive. On an economic level, to compete means to cut prices, advertise, invest in R&D and so forth. How dare you refer to Communism as Competition. Communism is a criminal system. It steals money from individuals who know how to compete successfully and distributes it to the slimeballs who run the state like Fascists and Nazis! Hile Hitler to the State! And you have the nerve to call Highway Robbery competition? Communism not only eliminates all Competition but it destroys every aspect of Individual Human Freedom. In this country, I'm entitled to rebel and speak out on any issue that I feel like without being sent to prison or a concentration camp. Sure, I'm a Super Greedy Capitalist Pig who loves making money. You'll never know how thankful I am that I don't have to join a party in this country to become a success. I love my Individual Freedom too much to ever give it up to any Totalitarian State Run Corrupt Communist Party. That's why I'd rather be DEAD THAN RED.
