What? Singapore is communist? You've got to be kidding.
Singapore is perhaps one of the most unabashedly capitalist societies in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is highly-developed and is at the forefront of many of the world's newest technologies. Unfortunately, it is also a very authoritarian society, with high levels of government surveillance on its citizens, restrictions on freedom of speech, and harsh punishments for relatively minor crimes. Singapore is a perfect example of how capitalism does not always result in a free and democratic society.
