Yes! They vow to take us out! When they attack (and I believe they will) It will be a surprise like Pearl Harbor—doing something thought impossible—with new robot weapons, Cyber war, and EM Pulse. We will be staggarded by the attack (on a holiday—like Superbowl Sunday). We can’t launch atomic attacks because they will take out city for city. It will be a horrible bloodbath like WW II on steriods.

Should have happened the day Nixon landed in DC after the “historic trip”.
Despite Joe McCarthy going off the rails, his initial message was true. We were then and have continued to be infiltrated by Marxists of every stripe and for at least 3 decades have been growing our own. Too late to pray for a crop failure. Now we should isolate and call out the subversives.

Yes but when have you ever heard a Congressman or any politician bad mouth China? Crickets. They are mostly all bought and paid for.

What is the other name for state run capitalism? Answer is Communism. Just like the USSR, you either were part of the cogs in the machine, or you controlled the machine.

Which is my point, there is always Capitalism, it’s a question of who do you allow to control the Capital: Individuals, or the State?

You’re fricking clueless about China. Communism is everything in China - it controls every thought and action of nearly everyone in China 24/7/365.

And how many years have you lived there?

If China isn’t Communist like you say, then how come the people of Hong Kong are protesting?

They are protesting because they want to maintain the personal protections of the legal system handed to them by Great Britain. They do not want to be subjected to the Court system in China.

There is just as much capitalism in Hong Kong as there is in Shanghai. It is personal liberties and the protections of law afforded the individual that are at question.

I’m not going to disagree with you on that. I’m inclined to agree with what you describe. My point is that the communist economic model is long gone. The driver of its economy is capitalism is my point.

That point is true. We agree on that.

I am still pretty sure the Communist government has a stake in all businesses in China.
