This should be required reading for every literate left-leaning individual in our nation. Those who need it most will never see it.

We can't even post it on the main editorial page on free republic because it's a blog. But, it is so good.

As I read about him sloshing about in China, my mind drifted to San Francisco. Maybe things aren’t quite as bad in San Francisco as they are in China, but give it time.

China started as a communist state full of starving peasants and a big military of Russian equipment manned by an endless supply of cannon fodder soldiers. Somewhere along the line they morphed into fascism: all the totalitarianism of communism but with the nuance of an illusion of private industry which the state really controls in the end. That’s what fascism is, that’s what Hitler was all about, that’s what China is doing in their society now, and that’s what the left wants for us. Those dumbass ANTIFA so-called Anti-Fascists are actually agitators FOR fascism and some of them know it but most are probably useful idiots who listed to “Imagine” and thought it was real.

Excellent comment. I totally agree. China is definitely fascist and not many see it.

Started out with good description.

This “Why would a Communist country not have an effective FDA?” was a weird comment which presumes communism is moral.

It began to meander greatly after that.

“She was missing a piece of her 15th maternal chromosome.”

How would this be known unless they also looked at the genetics of the biological parents of their adopted child.

Thanks. I love his comment about their healthcare having no where else to go and no one to complain to and no one to sue.

That will be Bernie land if any of these democrats win.

He immediately answers the fda question and it forms the basis of excellent insight into government power and accountability.

But if you don’t like the state of healthcare in this country, just remember that not ONE Republican has their fingerprints on it. NOT. ONE.

That's completely untrue.

The "current state" is going to collapse. It is the logical 50 year outcome of Medicare and Medicaid.

What is about to happen was predicted by anyone with a brain who was opposed to Medicare in 1965 (Medicaid is more complicated).

The decision to adopt fixed pricing by diagnosis code FOR HOSPITALIZATION ONLY, which has led to enormous and corrupt rent seeking and profit taking by corporations that can sell to the socialized hospital market and which is the destructive force that will bring down our system was imposed in 1985-86 by an all-GOP White House and cabinet.

Here's Ronald Reagan's speech about how Medicare would eventually bring about a socialist dictatorship.

He was correct.

Our current healthcare system has developed over the last 80 years under both Democrats and Republicans.

+1

The ACA ws just a device to keep the system alive for a few more years, and to enable a last gorging of profit-taking by the vultures feasting on the complete reorganization of hospital care brought about by the GOP Prospective Payment System.

"Very good read and yet, there are 705 billionaires in the United States, 285 in China, 146 in Germany, 102 in Russia, and 97 in the United Kingdom."

What is your point? Are you suggesting that those folks go to China for health care?

An “illusion” of private business basically means no private business. The Party controls everything in China. They are not socialists by any stretch of the imagination.

We believe – whether we practice it in our politics or want to admit it to ourselves – that one person makes a difference. And our government answers to us. We don’t answer to them.

Every corrupt white liberal 'elite' in the deep state wants the power (for themselves) that comes with communism... Bernie's not the only thug in our country - he's just the most honest about it.

Billionaires aren’t the problem... how they became ‘billionaires’ IS the problem. In commie hellholes it’s done by putting a boot into someone’s face and grinding away. In a free culture it’s done by providing a service people like enough to buy - or trade their services for...
