Every person would be slotted into a job best suited to their ablilities. State run medical, state run industries, state run thinking, all are equal and everything is done for the collective good of the state.
And just which *successful* communist country are you basing all of these conditions on? North Korea? Cuba? China? The former Soviet Union? The only part that is accurate is the *state run* part.

And I thought that the brightest and the best were either given special treatment in communist countries or fled to a free nation at the first chance.

Define greed. Being a successful business man/woman?

Is there truly a free enterprise system in the RP?

I do believe they have also taken that bold step toward a free enterprise system. hmmmmmm coincidence? I think not.
