Its easy for the victorious in this economic world we live in, to claim that their system is the most ideal above all others, and claim superiority to all past history. Certainly.

Firstly, it would be nice if you actually responded to what I'm saying rather than a few bits that fit the agenda you're working to...
Secondly, you've moved a lot of this discussion away from the title subject and would be far better preaching in the political thread...
Thirdly, who claimed that any system was "the most ideal above all others" in the thread... and who the hell was talking victorious especially in the current economic climate...
Your overall reactions and tone actually remind me of the tone of the armies of paid pro-Chinese bloggers who are instructed to attack any dissent... it doesn't work so well on a lightly moderated free site...
Edit: Responding to another of your posts whilst I was writing mine: Union.org??? A neutral and unbiased source???
