Egads -- India's Communist Party still hasn't been euthanized
And despite all its economic reforms, Vietnam is still crushing political dissent at every turn. In good anti-communist news, even though the United Russia party doesn't seem to be overwhelmingly pro-reform, it's good news that they soundly defeated the Communist party in Russia's weekend elections. And 51% of Venezuelan voters gave Chavez the thumbs-down on his bid for dictatorial powers. It would be nice to slay the Communist dragon once and for all.

Related: Russian workers are using labor strikes to get more of what they want. Unions are neither inherently good nor inherently bad: Solidarity, for instance, was a union that achieved terrific results by helping to end Communism in Poland, but other unions have acted as mere fronts for Communist organizations. One issue to consider is whether changing technologies will revolutionize relationships in the workplace and put new people in power who haven't been there before.
