So why does Communism have such a bad name? Well there's many reasons but let's stick with the most obvious one.

The evil Chinese dictatorship.

Which rather than giving power to the people loves nothing more than taking it away from them.

The latest attempt by the Chinese government to silence its people comes in the form of a  crackdown on what it calls "illegal Internet telephone providers."

So basically, bye bye Skype.

The Ministry of Information and Industry Technology said it was collecting evidence of illegal VoIP (voice over Internet protocol) telephone services.

There is of course a chance that Skype will survive but then there's also a chance of pigs flying.

It's a shame to see one of the largest and most powerful countries in the world is quashing the technology that makes the modern world so great.

Can someone find me the part of Marx’s Manifesto which could support the banning of Skype?

One thought on “China to ban Skype.

  • I suspect they are only banning it on mobile phones, not in
    general. They are trying to protect the business of mobile
    operators for free voip calls. It’s impossible to ban it on
    computers
