I even agree with your point that a 1 billion person society needs communism rather than democracy ...when did i say that? i said " its not correct to say that a billion ppl society neeeds communism to bring its masses out of poverty and to make progress." At the same time i am amazed by the progress China and its ppl have achieved in such a short time much to envy of the world, all i am saying is that "communism" is NOT the only way of achieving progress.
