After the Wall

Sir, - When the Berlin Wall fell there was great rejoicing in the capitalist world

Sir, - When the Berlin Wall fell there was great rejoicing in the capitalist world. But time has proved that mankind has not learned how to handle freedom, as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The capitalists have displayed naked and vulgar greed and there is plenty of evidence of that.

Nobody wants a return to Stalinism and Nazism, or any other form of dictatorship, but we need some form of civilised communism to curb the mad rush for wealth at the expense of the poor. After all, wasn't Christ the first communist? - Yours, etc.,
