Socialism is the place the country's government controls all production and products distribution. this is an financial gadget. There would nicely be freedom of action in Socialism, yet economically you're a slave to the government considering they administration the distribution of wealth interior the country. Communism is the place the country's government owns each little thing and hence has entire administration over each little thing. many times the financial gadget in a Communist united states will persist with Socialist concepts. In Communism the government can effectively promptly administration each element of your existence. What agencies would nicely be opened, what they might sell, how a lot you may make, what media can present day, what colleges can coach, what information superhighway get admission to human beings could have, etc. Fascism is the place the government surely manufactures excuses for enforcing regulations to regulate and limit the inhabitants. Fascism delivers the phantasm of freedom. you have freedom on paper yet in certainty all of the oblique regulations and regulations stay away from you from workout consultation that freedom. occasion: proscribing motor vehicle determination through way of extreme selective taxing or regulations on automakers interior the call of keeping our environment could be a fascist coverage.

Well that is a very short form of that rule. For starters, it doesn't apply to a lot of words which are not English in origin.

Science is one of those, and there are others with I before E after C, like sufficient, deficient, proficient etc, all based on Latin. Other words based on names, or from other languages, also don't follow this rule, like abseil, peignoir, reveille, sheikh, geisha..... Caffeine, protein and other chemical names are common, too, mostly Latin or Greek in origin..... because why should other languages follow an English rule?

Then there are "English" words with IE after C created by suffixes, like financier, policies.

Then heaps of words have E before I after C, such as perceive, ceiling, deceit.

Then there are millions of words with EI without a C anywhere nearby. Their, neighbour, weight, beight, freight, veil, vein, rein, skein (of wool), beige.......... these would all be caught on the longer version of the rule, which says "I before E except after C or except if it's pronounced AY, not EE".

Ahem what is a feind? a wicked fiend you mean? here, take inveigle as a substitute ;)

i before e, except after c, and in sounds of long a such as neighbor and weigh.

And since it's the holiday season, sleigh.

Weird and feind are exceptions to that rule. Vein and veil, of course, are sounds of long a.

Science

Neighbor & weigh are two, i remember that from scool and the saying..i before e except after c and when used as A as in neighbor and weigh.
