Excellent points.

The Chinese Communists are no longer communists at all. They are fascists.

My point in post 5 exactly.

FL Hayek in his book "The Road to Serfdom" comes to the simple conclusion that Communism evolves into Fascism once the idealistic Marxists realize the impossibility of their utopian dream.

The Fascists are at least a little more intellectually honest. They realize from the start that some folks are "a little more equal" than others....and proceed from there.

Brilliant. I never thought of the Chinese that way but I am in agreement with the whole article and now I wonder why I never made the leap regarding China.

Personally, I think it is a mix between the two, and I can use that as an excuse not to have grasped it before hand. I undrstood it on a deep level but never stated it. At least thats my rationalization. :D
