So, we shouldn't learn about history until we experience it ourselves? Seems like that would eliminate, uh, most of history.
I haven't experienced the harsh realities of the Cretaceous period but I still like reading about dinosaurs.

- hackyhacky 7d ago> Nobody except you is talking about history. You're kind of missing the point of my comment. You said, in essence, that it's impossible to learn about Communism unless you've experienced it personally. > China and North Korea, with Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba Of those countries, how many have you experienced personally, and thus, by your standard, are qualified to comment on? To what extent is modern China actually Communist, as opposed capitalist-authoritarian?
