It's always healthy and exciting to have members from different regions and continents in these forums.
I guess there are few members here who share you the same environment. I myself met very few members from Middle East here but they don't participate a lot.
After Canada, the US is the most democratic country on the American continent. Americans should stop whining about it beeing fascist because you pay a few dollars in taxes and should stop taking the nice cars, the high wages and so on for granted.
Im from Syria, a socialist nation.. I live in the UAE a country with an autoritarian regime but theres alot of freedoms and respect there..
The problem with socialist nations they do what it takes to limit your vision but it doesnt work as people are not that stupid, this system is outdated and crushes the future of 'the people'..
The USSR collapsed and China let go of it before its too late..
But many arab nations are like 10-30 years behind the rest of the world in terms of governments and regimes. They still live in this so called soviet mentality... God help those living in North Korea...
I don't like the term "socialist", it's too vague. For example, Canada has a social-democratic government, but it's not considered a socialist country. Same thing with European countries like Sweden and Denmark. There's nothing wrong with socialism. Those so-called "socialist" countries are countries who tried to be communist but failed. Communism never truly existed because everyone who's tried it has failed.
