In order to judge upon Chinese communist’s platform someone has to know what it is.
Besides these “facts” that the communists were eating people, tortured anyone they like and constantly looking for ways to harm The Innocent West. U’know, all these “good old testaments” from McCarty and Reagan’s era. It also helps to get an idea by looking in their recent wars, or even getting deep into Marxist’s theory, Leo Trockiy’s influences over Chinese communists minds. Snapshot into History of Chinese Nationalists Party (example - Chiang Kai-shek ) and their clashes with Chinese Communists till Nationalists exile to Taiwan. A lot of things would looks like China is following a “communist manifesto” but in reality its another “corporate communism” over there. Just like coprorate socialism in the US.
In order to see the difference someone needs to KNOW both declarative fundamentals and realities.
China is far from communism and US is off democracy by several light years.
 
Well, as ironical as it was, they also used to say that communist Soviets are drinking vodka from 'samovar" daily and bears are walking in their streets, Hitler was Lenin’s' little brother and Stalin was actually Russian Czar. And yes, let me correct myself it used to be said: "communists are eating babies and drinking human blood".
May be it is shocking but I personally remember times of such talks about communists at “Old Good Western” countries.

I dislike this argument as you don't need to travel to a place to know something about it. I have never been to the United States but I still know a lot about it's government, history and foreign policies.

You may know "something" about the US, but you do NOT know the US. No chance. No way. You are so blinded by your pseudo intellectualism that you could never see the US for what it truly is. I have lived all over the US and I do not know one single person who thinks Americans, our country, or our government, is, has ever been, or ever will be perfect.

I contend that the USA has done FAR more good in this world than bad. But there is no way you could ever see that. To you evidently the US is the great satan, the cause of all bad in this world. You insist on throwing the baby out with the bath water. Pitiful.

Maybe because you're not providing reasons, corroboration, arguments, but just making a naked assertion and then complaining when people remain sceptical.

Like what?
Inventing Macdonalds and fuzzball? No-no, I know...There are a lot more. Let's start from the beginning, from that boat and lets go on.

Well, the tele-phonic technology was not invented by A.G. Bell. Of course every American will fly to the Moon without rocket to proof otherwise but Historical documents were found and released. Actually one German lab used to complete the principal test in 1847. F.Gill just holded on it for his expectation of contract with US.
