Issue of communism

It is lamentable that the news of the spreading of communism has been much publicized. While we actually should pay more attention to the issues of poverty, injustice, corruption, monopoly, the social gap and many other social ills that breed communism.

The people who were born before 1965 will obviously remember the cruelty of the communists, and are naturally haunted by what the communists did in the past.

People not in tune with the government's policy or have different opinion are accused of being communists. In fact, warnings against the danger of communism will not be effective if social illness prevails.
