    We has Socialism, then Labour got into power in 1984.

    Czech Republic who said it was not that bad and who needs maccers and BK on every corner anyway.

    oh and Greece and Ireland pre EU.....saying that...didn't really work out so well.

    Yes you are repetitive.

    Define communist and socialist....a real one not one dreamed up by some German Librarian. Using the lala land model there has never been one.


    So pre 1945 was Japan a Monarchy or a Democracy. Germany was a democracy as Hitler ( see if Captain Pedantic leaves that it) was voted in.

    Depending on what you call "socialist" there are plenty of socialist countries still ticking along quite decently with no problems other than some moronic imbecile wants to turn them into 'Merica clone. A system that is designed to fail

    John Key "hopes the TPP Agreement will signed in Atlanta in the coming week." Signed in America because they have the biggest country? The most to lose? Or, maybe, the most to gain...?

    Whether it should, or should not, be signed is irrelevant to the government. (Let's not forget this isn't going to be John Key's baby - it is a government decision that the Labour party has done little other than say "Oh, we're not sure it's a good idea." Lip service, just in case it goes wrong.)

    The plan is to steamroller it through while ignoring any protests, and hope it all works so they can say "Told you so." If it doesn't, there's always Hawaii to retire to, and post-signing the protests will die down anyway.

    There was a bunch of TPPA protestors down the road from work on my way home tonight.
    Can anyone please explain why they all look like a bunch of unkempt simpletons?

    Because they were delivery drivers from the Tauranga Pizza Providers Association.
