The only people who do better in communist nations are the few people in power who gain the benefits of the rigged system and are free to live lawlessly while oppressing any dissenters.

When you factor in the much larger amount of people they have you realize how really poor that country still is. But both the economies of China and India are rising rapidly, to such an extent, that some people have started speculating as to when (not if) they will pass us up. While I don't think that is anything to worry about now, it does show what free trade and even small capitalist changes can do to a country. It's enough to make even <a href="http://hispanicpundit.com/2006/03/01/the-chinese-are-the-biggest-supporters-of-capitalism/" rel="nofollow">the communists supporters of capitalism now</a>...
