Because the US is the richest nation in the world.
China is state capitalist, not Communist (which would mean no money or classes or government).
The countries which today are officially run by a Communist party today are: People's Republic of China, North Korea, Laos, Vietnam, Cuba, Nepal, Belarus, and Russia. So there are still 8 communist countries.Technically they are not communist because....Communism is not where there's a leader/dictator. Communism is about ZERO government. The moment you add government, it's not longer communist. Countries such as North Korea are not even communistic. If you break down what they're doing piece by piece, they are NOT communist. You do get the chance to choose your future in a communist society. You do get human rights, way more than you would ever get in a capitalist society. You do get free speech, way more than you would ever get in a capitalist society.
The opposite of the Communist Manifesto would likely be a text or ideology promoting capitalism or individual ownership of the means of production. Capitalist Manifesto could be considered as providing a contrasting perspective to the Communist Manifesto.
Mao Zedong was the originator of the successful Communist revolution in China.
The country of Vietnam had divided into communist North Vietnam and democratic South Vietnam, and was fighting a civil war to determine if the country would be reunified as a communist nation, or if it would remain a divided nation. Untimately, North Vietnam prevailed.
An "oxymoron." A condradiction, as in "cruel kindness." However, the society (nation) that consisted of both a capitalist & communist economy would certainly be considered a FREE country; free to practice what religion, speech, and manner of legal business that it chose to pursue.
The conflict merely showed the communist bloc that the free world would not let a communist nation invade and try to seduce a free nation by armed conflict.
It's different from country to country. In a communist country, it's not normally accepted to want to choose your own religion. In a capitalist country it is encouraged to choose one's own religion. As a human being I would say yes, it is important to choose your own religion and strongly follow your own beliefs.
The Russian Revolution
A communist country is one where the government owns and controls means of production, and aims to achieve equality through redistribution of wealth. In contrast, a capitalist country is one where the economy is based on private ownership, market competition, and profit motive.
