Corporate government (capitalism unbridled) January 14, 2014 7:47 pm FrankC

the new China

Is China still Communist? Yes and no the way I see it. They still have some of the vestiges of the old Marxist ways but this is a new China and a modern Communism.

They will build theme parks. They will build clean but modest housing. They will feed the masses and provide health care. They will do this through capitalism. They will exercise total control over the working class.

At the rate we are going we will meet them about mid pacific in the next 50 years
