I don’t care what you call it. The idea that a centrally controlled economy will outperform a free economy is just silly. These arguments always come to nothing, because the totalitarians, well, they collapse. The danger to our country does not come from outside our borders, it is of our own making. And China, they will collapse from their own weight.
Keep thinking that about China. But make sure your grandkids learn Mandarin.
In about two generations we will be the exhausted Britain paying tribute to a triumphant China. China does not have to do a thing against us; we are surrendering voluntarily.
With the exception of the United States in the 20th century and England in the nineteenth, it has been the despots and tyrannies that have ruled the world, not the democracies.
And even Britain was not a very good democracy.
