Good goddamned thing so many of us fought Communism during the Cold War....only to see it take root in the highest levels of our government and business.

Time for another revolution.

What the PRC practices is more like classical Fascism as defined by Mussolini - still, it a left-wing kookdoodle dream none the less.

I've been to China...recently.In fact,I visited two of China's largest and most prosperous cities,Guangzhou and Shenzhen,both being within an hour or so of Hong Kong.Everything I saw in both cities suggests that even the people *there* live like animals.OTOH,Hong Kong *does* work thanks to the system (and infrastructure) left in place by the Brits and the hard work of the Chinese people there who live,and work,in freedom.

There was a time when this would have gotten him fired. No longer. Right now, Keith Ellison could yell out “Death to America! Alluah Akbar!” in Congress, and no one would even blink.

You won’t see them having opposition parties. Dissent can mean a death sentence.

Right...

That's what happens when you strip people of their religion and culture.
