I only want healthcare access for all citizens and checks and balances against all law enforcement with more LEO convictions and imprisonment for breaking laws. And much fairer and saner income distribution. I'd call myself a Democratic Socialist, not a Communist. Communism is doomed to fail because there is no real incentive to bother to.care...American style capitalism is doomed to fail because it's based on fear of loss for most people. Both systems are highly toxic as far as I am concerned. But once again were I a resident/citizen of Hong Kong, I'd be protesting, too. Rob
