You really need to ask?

At least in NZ you own your house and at the end of your life you can redistribute your wealth to your children or friends.  Plus you don't need to start working in a real job until at least age 16.  

And how do you think it works in your free market example the PRC?

I'd rather do market deals with the Chinese than many in NZ.  They're the oldest traders in the world and are always looking for a deal.  That's how markets work.

Have you been to China and done business?  Business there is as far from Communism as you could imagine.  Although Xi Jinping is going to try his best at winding back the clock to before the economic reforms.  Shame really but great data for showing that free market reforms in a communist country can actually turn things around.

Tell that to anyone who lived under Stalin or Mao regimes.

Meanwhile you ignore the fact that China commenced on the path of becoming an economic trading powerhouse after the death of Mao primarily because of the free market reforms of Deng Xiaoping beginning in 1979.

Isn't there enough empirical evidence from China to support the fact - markets work?

But you just keep wallowing in you ideological bath.

As I said there are successful markets in every country.  It's up to you to disprove that.  Not my job to waste time educating an adult idiot.

You have no examples to back yourself up...even though you have broadened the original assertion.As usual when the 'tank' is empty you resort to ad   hom attacks.

Have a look at how other posters engage in discussion/debate and learn something.

Sadly you're a joke @holy ravioli and anyone who reads your posts can see that even when they have to distil any semblance of meaning from your irrational ideological ramblings.
