Talk about thoroughly discredited "isms," Communism is right up there alongside Nazism in the pantheon of losers. Most countries like China and Vietnam that claim to be Communist are no longer anything of the sort. Capitalism is rampant in both countries, I've seen it for myself.

The seven arguments made in Salon are either trivial or wrong, and deserve no further comment. However, this egregious lapse in editorial judgment should give any potential Salon reader pause.
