I am from Vancouver,Canada and i wanted to say that after reading this article on Socialist Countries greet China’s National Day i can see that Socialism is carrying the Day in most of the world. That is good to see. Here in Canada important news like that is no where to be seen in major News papers or Gov’t organizations. The world is passing by the western countries who are not associated with Socialism. The people in these western countries will pay a heavy price for their Gov’ts attacks on Socialist and Progressive Gov’ts in the world. The majority of people in these countries are for Socialism and against Capitalism.
