"Would I buy a car from the Chicoms? You bet I would if it were well-made." The “Chicoms” are to the right of the U.S. now.

Yep. I'd buy a car from the "Chicoms" before I bought one from the fascists. GM is dead to me. Permanently.

“GM is ‘dead to me’.”

LOL, I like it.

If we analyze the government systems that want to control economic processes, they divide into 3.(It’s actually a gradient with “bumps”.):

communism — all economic processes owned by the state

socialism — major economic processes owned by the state

fascism — economic processes CONTROLLED by the state, but privately owned (and profits allowed)

I would suggest that China is economically FASCIST and the U.S. is flirting with moving from economic fascism to socialism.

But, the elite in China don’t have suicidal Liberal instincts as the elite in the U.S. does.
