communism? you pay for these apartments, they're not free. if anything, giving the little man a chance to compete with Big Real Estate and Big Hotel, even for a little bit, is more capitalistic than not.
that being said if God picked me up and threw me into india i'd sooner sleep on some leaves in the woods than in an indian Airbnb.
The first world refers to NATO and their allies. The second world refers to the Warsaw Pact and their allies. The third world refers to neutral countries
So the PRC was the First World after Nixon went to China?
(I'm being pedantic, you're more correct than most people.)
Nope it was second world
Agreed, but it was an American ally and an enemy to the Warsaw Pact. So that division has some issues.
First World: developed capitalist countries.
Second World: communist countries.
Third World: undeveloped countries.
Fun fact: many Americans think that football (our football, the real football) is a "communist" sport. They lose at it, so obviously it's COMMUNISM.
