]I don't think it's right and with all due respect, who are you to make assumptions of what I believe in?[/B]
I am concerned with the extortionate rates energy companies charge their customers, making record profits in correlation with increase in energy poverty, it's disgusting. I also hate insurance companies and banks, they thieve off ordinary people.
I can only make a judgement in the context of the situation, and that situation is in a capitalist society where corporations get away with everything, I've come to the conclusion that one corporation is ripping off another and the other is fighting back, in a wrong way, I give you that, to get a fair deal. Also, you have to set aside your beliefs when assessing the situation, which I have done.
Off topic, but replying to what you said. The problem with them countries, there was a 'state', and they used Stalinist tactics to maintain power (which were autocratic, not communist) and if Socialism was to be used, Trotskyist methods ought to tried out, as he is the only communist to not have a tainted reputation (although some evidence may rebut this e.g. Kronstadt). Also, may I add, the countries in the 'Eastern Bloc' weren't founded as a result of popular support from the people, they were made because the 'Red Army' swept through Europe and the deal at Yelta was that the Russia would move out of those countries so long as they establish 'communist' governments and were merely 'satellite states'. So you can't judge them as countries as 'communist'.
