Please, abandon this moot point

:::Don't bother. Gorby tried to salvage what he could, and still is a convinced Communst, but the rest of the planet has rejected the flawed notion that Communism is a completing "ideology" to Captialism. Please, abandon this moot point. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 13:37, 28 April 2007 (EDT)
