Immelt: The one thing that actually works, state run communism a bit– may not be your cup of tea, but their government works."

[DaveTesla]

Our Jobs Czar saying communisum Works...

[Lurker]

In a manner of speaking, so did Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge.

[RightOnline]

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.

[headstamp 2]

We are living in a Kafka novel.

"I have seen the future, and it works" -- Lincoln Steffans

That Joe Stalin! He really had it all figured out, didn't he?

[Army Air Corps]

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

[yldstrk]

oh yeah, slave labor, these people are demons

[Fiji Hill]

Fascist Italy worked—the trains ran on time.

[Gay State Conservative]

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.

I these out of executives who think they know what is best for us. And Jeffery boy was big into outsourcing jobs overseas too !

[GlockThe Vote]

Can we just get to the shooting phase now.

[DaveTesla]

Perhaps Mr.Immelt Wishes to add to the 110 million?

[Viennacon]

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.

[austinaero]

Heck, some would probably stand and clap.

[DaveTesla]

I don’t think Mussolini had outright slavery.

[GeronL]

“Their government works...”

lol.

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

Liberal wet dreams

[dfwgator]

Thereisienstadt worked too, if you didn’t bother to look beneath the surface.

Right...

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