   I exposed the weaknesses of your so called "theory" the previous post.   
   The fact that you snipped out the most essential parts, the ones   
   containing the most incriminating evidence against your theory, is a   
   sign of your admission of your defeat in the argument.

   "Fear of the USSR made Finland mold society so that it resembles...   
   Sweden and Canada? You are not making much sense here."   
      
   "Real communist/far left societies like Cuba, North Korea, Angola etc   
   went a lot further in socialism and they are... close to the USSR? Sorry   
   James, but your theory of vicinity to USSR indicating any level of   
   socialism in society is not making much sense - as is the case with most   
   of your theories in this debate."
