can't tell your stance on socialism after reading multiple warheads #1.

 it’s set in a fantasy world based on the idea that there is no UK and no colonised American empire. 

I dunno if I have a well thought out stance on socialism, I know that I find American capitalism to be a pretty gross system, but I can survive in it. 

I lived in Canada which is Social democracishery (I believe) & my favorite place I’ve ever lived.  I loved visiting Amsterdam and Norway –they seem like fantastic places. I’ve spent all of one night in China and it was a nice hotel but I couldn’t tell you much more than that. I remember Tiananmen square well enough to know that their system seems pretty rough. 

Warheads touches on some of the red-fear that was being pushed when I was a kid (and long before I was a kid) That stuff was so far removed from reality that it’s hard for me to see Mao or Gorbachev as real humans.

I used to have a 2-sided picture of Chairman Mao above my desk, with one side of him young and one side of him when he was in power. I would turn it to young or old Mao depending on my mood that day– and this was all fine and good until one of my roomates brought home a girl from China who was less than comfortable with it –I think I took him down after that.
