Socialist Utopia: Success By Capitalism

     The Socialist Utopia of Red China starved to death 30 million people during the Great Leap Forward (double-speak for "backwards") from 1958 to 1962.
     In 1978, people were still starving so 18 famished farmers in the village of Xiaogang became courageous due to desperation. It was patently obvious that group efforts failed to produce enough crops, so the 18 men colluded and conspired to divide their group plot of land into 18 sections, one for each farmer. Each farmer would tend only to his plot. This was going to be an individual effort. Not only that, but anything produced above the state's quota on them would go to the individual farmer to do with as he wished not the dictatorial state. Now farmers directly profited from their work. Within a year, the village food production sky-rocketed, and the people stopped starving. This collusion and conspiracy became known as the Xiaogang pact, and was later copied by the Communist Party, desperate to stop their starving of the Chinese people and the bad reputation socialism was deservedly getting worldwide. Nick, the capitalist.
