Contradictions of Communism for the 21st Century
Has anyone noted the irony that when the most powerful communist in the world (China's Hu Jintao) began his visit to the U.S., he first met with the richest man in the world (Bill Gates).
In his own country, Hu may be leading a revival for that old-time religion (Maoist Socialism), enforcing renewed oppression and party control, but when it comes to genuine communist sentiment, money isn't such a bad thing after all.
