China may still try and claim it is China, but it represents little in the way of state domination of the economy and wealth redistribution. Frankly they represent Fascism far more then they do Communism.
And Russia is nothing more then a authoritarian dictatorship.
Together they represent our second greatest existential threat to Western Civilization, and that is “Eastern Authoritarianism” which basically is the argument that free peoples can not Govern themselves, and will be in need of demagogue strong man to guide man and state.
We can even see this idea catching on here in the states. Look at all the “czars” or strong men with little oversight who are going to be in charge of vast swaths of industry and national security.
“China may still try and claim it is China”
Should read, “China may still try and claim it is Communist”
