You play with capitalism, you die with capitalism.

Excerpts from http://www.mosnews.com/society/2009/05/20/pika/

Half of the working-age residents of Pikalevo, a city in the Russian Leningradsky Region near St. Petersburg, have been unemployed since winter

Trade union leaders told journalists that there is currently a famine in the city and residents have been forced to eat dogs.

The Wednesday storming was prompted by the shutdown of heating and hot water in the city.

Yet more evidence of how Capitalism is superior to Socialism!:rolleyes:
Seriously though it is simply disgusting to see people reduced to that level. Hopefully this will build into a second revolution.
