They / You are either uninformed as to the objectives of a communist state or have a different political persuasion than I do. Imo, state monopoly is not desirable.

Well as I read your Wikipedia link and have not made a single comment about the "objectives of a communist" state it is rather hard to see how I (and the majority of western citizens as well let's not forget) are so uninformed.

I think that the objective of any state is power/control over its citizens and I would also assume that the majority of western citizens would also have a similar opinion (although unlike you I don't wish to put words in their mouth).

Perhaps you just like to think that you are more informed than everyone else?

I don't hold it against them. It is hard to interpret the doublespeak coming out of the PRC when they preach of international cooperation, but pursue policies of international monopolization. Every state attempts to maintain rule of law over its citizens. The difference is if the laws of the state are codified by a representative government or by monopolists.
