What do you think about this socialist rule "You can only have one kid and one dog" ? (This is for socialist lovers, and is from China)

I guess if you have a second child, you better teach him or her to walk on all fours, and bark. +5

If I have no kids can I have an extra dog? Though..seeing as I don't really want to own a dog.. or have kids.. I see nothing wrong with this rule.

China contains about 20% of the world's population. Sounds like a sensible idea to me.

That's not Socialism, it's a desperate government battling insane overcrowding.

I think that simply because something is the law in one socialist country doesn't mean it is a socialist rule. The U.S. could end up with population control laws without becoming socialist and could become socialist (or create some more socialist programs) without instituting population control. Personally, I am opposed to population control laws.

Where did ya hear that? Show me! Remember that it's the sociaslists that came up with Human Rights! No one else, give 'em a break :)

I'd opt for 2 dogs because it's wrong to eat kids in a pinch.

Socialism of CHINA is based upon " RED BOOK " written by Mau Tse Dung. Which is banned Globaly .. but I don't think a dog can appear in any family ( as in RED BOOK ). Cud be let one child at home and u shud be loyal to Govt. as a Dog ( faithful).

I'm pretty sure China still is a communist nation and not a socialist one! But does makes sense when you have a serious problem of over population like china has.

It is not a socialist rule. China is not a socialist state - it is state capitalist as was the Soviet Union under Stalin and his successors. Just because a country calls itself something to accrue some merit, does not mean that is what they are.

How about two dogs and no kids?

Population control is inevitable if we don't kill ourselves before it is enforced. It's a practical solution.

China is a communist country, not a socialist one. Also, the one child policy has nothing to do with either communism or socialism. I mean, in the US, abortion is legal. The US is a democracy. Does that mean that abortion is a feature of democracy? No, it does not. Abortion is no more a feature of democracy than the one child policy is a feature of socialism! As to what I think of the policy, I think it is a good one, in context. The population of China is booming, and is not sustainable. Having laws regarding the number of children allowed per couple is an excellent idea. Same goes for dogs. And it is worthy to note that people in China ARE allowed more than one child and more than one dog, it just depends on the demographics of their area. Why have you attempted to tie this policy with socialism? What is wrong with socialism?

They enjoyed the freedom to breed like rabbits. They left the responsibilities for cleaning up the mess of their past generations for thier descendants to clean up. Just like the Conservatives have the freedom to do the same with our future generations. You're full of shit.

Another day in the life of the Chinese

I don't know where the one dog came from, but considering the overpopulation problems China has plus the combination of rampant poverty and the cost of raising children, I can see it making sense on a few levels. Imagine you are working minimum wage and barely keeping a roof over your head. Now have a kid. What little you have has to be stretched to do the diapers and clothing and medical care and everything for them in addition to your other responsibilities. Now have another. Now have another. Now have another. Your local store doesn't carry enough supplies (baby food, diapers, etcetera...) and the doctors visists are bleeding you drier than you were. Now have another. Now have another. Now have another. Gotta get help from the government because you can't afford all those kids on your own. Gotta steal from the rich to pay your bills. Now have another. Now have another. Now have another. Get it?

it makes common sense ..if your country is stuggling to feed the ever growing masses, its got nothing to do with being socialist or communist or capitalist its logic pure and simple

It's not a socialist rule, nor is China a socialist nation. Their people are constantly exploited and not given anywhere close to fair market value for their labor. On top of this, the totalitarian rulership plays in any economic sphere it can in order to maintain the capital to maintain their power - it's a government - that's what government does. Arguing socialism/capitalism/communism/anarcho-syndicalism is really irrelevant because in the end people have power over each other and those with power will always seek more. It has NOTHING to do with economic agendas beyond those agendas' abilities to help with the maintinance of power, which each economic system does. . As for this supposed rule, it's highly suspect. The "One Child" policy in China is only applied in large cities that are so overpopulated that really, people shouldn't be allowed to have any kids. In the countryside, it's not uncommon to see families with many children, to work on the farms. This question is bogus, loaded, uninformed, and not worth anymore of my time at this point.
