text: Some argue that liberalism (capitalism) will bring people want to not only have choice in their goods and services but also in their governments.  This is not always the case, ironically, a state could continue to be authoritarian but accomodate liberalism.  In essence swinging from communism to fascism.  I think the chances of China moving towards democracy are greater than North Korea's.  However the Republic of Korea (South Korea) has its Sunshine Policy that ultimate seeks the reuniting of the two countries and if this occured, it would most certainly be a democracy.  Time will tell in those two countries.\n\n   As far as communism goes.  The idea is utopian and relies too much on the good will of human beings being their best all the time.  Unfortunately few are saints and this system of economics and government has proven to be a failure.
