Geez, Katy, you may want to update your world view. They are currently *five* communist countries in
the world, China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, and Vietnam. If you'll notice, several of those countries are
major trading partners keeping WalMart's shelves stocked with cheap goods.

As for socialist countries, it is difficult to find one that isn't, at least in some aspects, including our own.
Of course, we won't mention all the capitalist false democracies, dictatorships, and tyrannies. They are
abundant.
