Maybe I'm wrong about this but for some reason I thought Communism was about the whole community, even country, coming before the individual.   I thought you made the individual sort of generic-part-of-the-whole kind of entity.   But that's apparently not the case.   The largest Communist force in the Universe is China and they recently acknowledged 3,000 individual "model workers."   These folks who embody the Communist ideals represent "workers, farmers and other working people from all social strata all have made lofty contributions in pushing forward social advancement."   But Yao earns fifteen million dollars a year as an employee of one of the most conspicuously capitalistic (not to mentionAmerican) endeavors on Earth, the National Basketball Association.   I guess maybe there really are Communists everywhere.

Yao, however, didn't show up for the award ceremony.   Prima Donna!
