Mikhail Gorbachev: West needs Perestroika

[Khaler]

I have better life and I am more successfull. And I'm like 20 years younger, so I have much more of this quality life ahead of me. Bling bling.

So, you are between 12 and 17 years of age. Yeah, that sounds about right. One little note: Never think you will live longer than someone else who is older. As I like to say "you never know."

I am successful and have a good life; and that's enough for me.

This has actually made me laugh. I totally agree and understand that attitude. It's my goal of life.

Gorbachev is a fucking loser. I can only think of him as a man who tears apart the east with a perestroika to make it western in all round terms and then comes to suggest having a perestroika for the west. Is he stupid or what/ The question that pops into my mind is why the hell did he fuck the Soviet Union if he ultimately doesn't like the west's attitude? I mean it's ridiculous. I'm totally against what he says and although I do not live in the West, I am able to enjoy a mere speculation of it in Greece, and I actually like it and I am 1000% in accordance with Yankees' saying there.

Weird though. Never imagine I'd agree with ya Yank. This means you are greedy and power hungry.

George, I am as surprised as you are.

Gorbachev is spot on, he's a very clever man. Also honest. Possibly the only honest Russian in existence, and he and Churchill were the only honest world leaders since Gladstone.

Churchill was a racist prick, he can fuck right off... well I guess he was honest about that at least.[/quote]

Yes, he was honest about what he thought of subject peoples..... but not about what he thought about dictators. He attacked Mussolini over the radio when the Fascist regime was doomed, but when Mussolini was at the height of his power Churchill hero-worshipped him as the "worlds greatest lawgiver".

"The model that emerged during the final decades of the 20th century has turned out to be unsustainable. It was based on a drive for super-profits and hyper-consumption for a few, on unrestrained exploitation of resources and on social and environmental irresponsibility." !!! <3

Or is Obama enough? Will he support it? What if Republicans come back? When the west will change?

Soon enough the world will have 9 000 000 000 people. How the f*ck are we gonna live?

I will answer truthfully and from the bottom of my heart: The West, especially the United States, does not need reform. Some changes here and there are necessary to better assimilate to the constantly changing world but that's about it. And criticize "the West" all you want, I don't care. I am successful and have a good life; and that's enough for me.

It is extremely rare that those who are content with or profit from the status quo agitate for change.
