Only 100 years? Why didn't they promise 1,000 years, like Hitler? Oh yeah, maybe they remember what happened to that guy...
Don't sweat the markets, Ivan. Just buy something that became cheap yesterday and hold onto it!

It appears the Chinese are saying "Oops" today, and the markets are recovering. Fortunately, it's a correction, nothing more.

China - Clintons - Socialism....

About fifteen years before Soviet Union fell apart, in 1970s, well before "glasnost" and "perestroika" they changed their tune from Communism and started emphasizing "advanced socialism". I see a similarity...Hopefully there will be a bit more blood this time around.

Time for them to shoot down another of their own satellites.

China is holding itself back by holding on to Communism. I wonder when they'll figure it out? If you are in the Party leadership, then communism is not holding you back. It is your ticket to great personal wealth and autonomy, and if you are perfectly cynical and selfish you will preserve this system as well as you can.

Hopefully there will be a bit more blood this time around. ;-) Well, that one form of "population control".

No wonder the markets are spooked. Nice move, idiots. Ahhhh, but you underestimate the power of the glorious peoples congress to root out those capitallist subversives who sabotaged the markets yesterday! Once they are found and, er, "punished" the people of China will show the decadent west what a dedicated peoples can do! (offstage:"I had no idea they would react like that!")
To: rogue yam
My guess is the rest of China has already figured it out, but that led to the massacre in Tiananmen Square...

I spent several months in China in the late 1980s. Pretty much all of the educated people I befriended realized that communism was a failure and a scam. It is just that no one there had any idea what to do about it. They still don't.
To: MadIvan
Well, heck. What is the problem with socialism anyway? So it has killed 100 million and turned the 20th century into an abattoir. The right people haven't been doing it.
That is why we have Bernie Sanders in the US Senate right now. Our first socialist senator. All we have to do is to convert our form of government to that of China, France, Syria etc. and all will be well
Of course that means over all. Not the individual. Not unless they are connected. You know.
That is why I never change the tag line.
