the shortages are a typical result of US intervention and sanctions...it has little to do with communism or socialism...they are not perfect systems, far from it, but give me the power the USA has and I will reduce any democratic country to a starving shit hole and claim "there look at democracy failing!"

you are wrong, and I am telling you this not to troll but because its the truth...this book is pretty much spot on, I do not expect you to read it, but if you want a good read this is the way to go:
OK I engage you sometimes dude but listen.

1. 13.4% of USA people are on food stamps (2 in 15, or 1 in 7.5)
2. The means test for food stamps, that is, the income below which one qualifies for food stamps, is MORE THAN THE AVERAGE INCOME OF SERBIA. Our poorest citizens, who we are HELPING with food stamps, are richer than you.
3. Communism and socialism are FOOD STAMPS FOR EVERYONE - the government giving food, poorly, ineptly, and badly.
4. 50 Million People died under communism and socialism in the 1900s, many of them STARVED TO DEATH
5. Socialism and communism do not make everyone equal. There is still an elite.
6. If Serbia is failing, it is not because of the USA doing something 20 years ago, it is because people sit and complain all day about the USA rather than helping a fellow Serbian. Your English is excellent, do you teach it to poor children? Do you teach programming? Do you do anything? What Serbians have you personally helped today? Or did you sit and bitch about the USA all day?
