state capitalism

Another attack on capitalism.

"The flood of misinformation, misrepresentation, distortion, and outright falsehood about capitalism is such that the young people of today have no idea (and virtually no idea) of its actual nature. While archeologists are rummaging through the ruins of millenia for scraps of pottery and bits of bones, from which to reconstruct some information about prehistorical existence - the evemts of less than a century ago are hidden under a mound more impenetrable than the geological debris of winds, floods, and earthquakes; a mound of silence."

From Ayn Rand's "Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal."

RE :”Punke acknowledged that “China took impressive steps” during the first five years after joining the WTO to bring its laws and regulations into line with global rules and that led to a dramatic expansion in trade with the rest of the world.
But “the overall picture presented by China's first 10 years of WTO membership remains complex, given a troubling trend in China toward intensified state intervention in the Chinese economy over the last five years,” Punke said.
“Increasingly, trade frictions with China can be traced to China's pursuit of industrial policies that rely on trade-distorting government actions to promote or protect China's state-owned enterprises and domestic industries,” he added.

What gets me is I don't hear the Republicans POTUS candidates talking/debating seriously about trade with China, and I don't mean Trump talk either.

“State capitalism” is a euphemism for economic fascism. All “mixed” welfare state economies follow the economic fascist model to some degree. China is just a little ahead of Europe, and Europe is just a little ahead of us.

China drifts toward more state control
China's Rise To #1 Likely Delayed
Won't happen next Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday morning at the earliest, say experts

"400 million doing OK now, but 800 million Chinese $1200/year income won't jump to $70,000-plus/year until Saturday at the earliest," said a pundit.

While Andy SEIU, one of BHO’s chief econ advisors and overlord, writes a WSJ OpEd yesterday that the USA should be MORE like the ChiComs and have MORE state central planning. BHO has such disdain for the American people, it’s beyond comprehension.
