Hmmm, by name only?

Can I practice Christianity? Can I browse the internet unfiltered? Can I publish my own newpaper in opposition to the government? Can I own guns? Can I travel freely to other countries?

Your second comment blows my mind. I am sensing we have a Karl Marx fan in house. Communist nations are doomed from the start because they are counter human nature. There will be no Communist nation that ever thrives because it is a fundamentally broken concept.
