[kj] KJ in China?

[Karen Weil]

Democracy is an imperfect model, as well. 
And we're not that, either.

  So not Communist.
  I am still looking for an actual Democracy, too ;)

    I think it has always been Totalitarian / Authoritarian. There was still a ruling elite, even if they did wear snazzy little jackets and man purses..

    In the purest sense? No. But certainly, they carried out more of the practices that define a communist gov't -- until some free-market ideals were introduced in the early 80s.
    Doesn't matter, now -- the regime there is still miserable.

      Totally agree with Greg on this. China's gov't. is hardly communist anymore.
