“Classic Chinese scholar Qian Mu, in characterizing US capitalism, said Western capitalism centers on two dominant urges: the urge to make others poor; and the urge to kill others.”
We say the Chinese focus on several things themselves. One is cleansing all who are not Chinese and the societies of those who are not Chinese, a practice which they have engaged in for thousands of years and still continue. Western societies, by contrast, have been more accepting of other races than those in the majority unlike any other societies in history on a comparitive scale. It was the British who ended slavery whereas the Chinese communists still practice it in party “reeducation” camps.
Another of their foci is upon starving people in the millions and now creating roving gangs of unemployed of enormous size in the countryside. The gaps between the wealthy and the poor are far larger than here. They have not focused on this, instead they are in denial about it.

The modern Chinese state can be thought of as a collective hive that utilizes capitalism as a means to achieve the propagation of its genome.

Hmmm.... early drafts of the American Declaration of Independence contained verbiage that was critical of the British role in the slave trade - and then were the British opium wars upon the Chinese and also the antics of Ceil Rhodes and his merry band of miscreant followers to consider.

Tribal fascism is engrained in human behavior. It is a survival mechanism. I believe controlling that instinctive urge is part of the function of government implicit in our Declaration of Independence.
