      Ehh..yeah... I from VietNam, the best communism country in the world. And there were no "free education" that you said. The fee of the state school maybe cheap but when you study, you have to pay alot more fee for like improvement facilities, class fund, school fund, the parent fund,... And the thing you said that we good at engineering, science...yes, but those people are someone, who have money or scholarship to study abroad, the people stay home...If some of them had any relationship, it would be easier to have a job. And I forgot that when the education were paid too much for the knowledge, then the awareness of the people just kinda went down. In VietNam the most people will say education here is suck, when its keep changing without any improvement and only the children of the one works in the party takes the opportunity to study in the best school by money. Oh, and we also good at the police profession, because the grade you need to attempt at that school is about 29 or 30 same as the medicine (it's the highest).

We are familiar to the concept of slaving for 60 years while some enjoy leisure simply from exiting from the right womb. We live in a socialist state already- a socialist state for the elite. The richest are enjoying the luxuries of communism right now, and it works perfectly well for them.

    Yeah it's not too bad. You could live under a more pervasive government and it's just 'Part and parcel' of living in a diverse city.
