It's working out great for the communist governments of Quebec and Washington State. The communists in Norway also seem to be doing ok.


The communists in Norway, like Russia, benefit enormously from pumping oil out of the ground, which goes to the government. In Norway's case, it's 20% of the GDP. Probably much more today with all the oil price increases.


Can you comment on the communists of Quebec? As a Canadian, this is what I find lacking in debate on American sites like Reddit or HN.

Canada is very similar to the United States, another way of saying that is that Canada does things slightly different yet the results seem to be profoundly different than the States.

Why is that, and what are we as Canadians doing that Americans and others around the world should attempt to copy and improve upon?


I know next to nothing about Quebec, and so cannot contribute anything there.


Quebec has a communist government? Wikipedia tells me liberal / constitutional monarchy.


'Twas a bit of sarcasm in response to WalterBright's overly broad characterization of "communism".
