    a)Having a full passport very obviously doesn't mean well traveled.

    b) Never mentioned anarchy... Excellent reading on your part

    c) You keep trying to put different philosophies against each other. One doesn't have to be against the other, it provides balance. Just like there are more than two sides in the equation but I guess you love to oversimplify and see things only in black and white and conveniently avoid what doesn't work with your narrow view.

    You would have thought that with history as our teacher everywhere would have turned to the free market because it always produces the best result. Yet nowhere has, zero countries in all of modern history.

    If I gave you an example of a decent socialist country you would say it is not real socialism because you do not consider social democracy as a form of socialism and you consider all forms of socialism as mutually exclusve with capitalism.

    Interestingly, your example of free market wasn't and has never been a democracy and its people are better off today than they were then...

    Ah the good old days without silly government building regulations and businesses could focus on the betterment of its citizen.

    I am not going to say anything to someone who holds colonial Hong Kong up as an exemplar . You are not on the same planet as everyone else let alone on the same page.

    But then Vietnam isn't socialist enough for you.

    Yes yes that must be it. We are all insane, the world is all insane. You are the only one who has the answer to the world's problem and no one else has figured it out. How can we not see that?

    For the record, I live in HK to make money and certainly not for the betterment of human kind. HK treats its citizen poorly and the inequalities between the poor and the rich are terrible. But like most, I don't really care because I'm not poor and I'm looking after number one and filling my pockets. I certainly don't think it's good for the majority of the people here and I don't live in lala land pretending that by living on their backs and leaving a few crumbs on the floor, I'm doing them a service.
