The technology age is everything after World War II. A lot of commerce and technology was computerized and digitized throughout the 1950s onward. Thus, the 45 communist goals for the USA are no anachronism.

Tech giants and mass production of cheap goods were encouraged BY CAPITALISM to move their HQs around the world, bypass competition rules, and find the sweat shops …

Actually, not by capitalism. The rest of the 45 communist goals bear that out, as do Karl Marx’s own words:

… (I)n general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade.

I find you too dismissive of the Communist Manifesto. All its ideology is still active, particularly its four targets for abolition, that being of the family, private property, religion and (eventually) national borders.

Not to mention, the takeover of both political parties of the USA was goal number 15. In The Conscience of a Conservative, the author expresses dismay at observing that takeover in action. It was no new thing to be a RINO in the 1950s; Reagan found that out the hard way throughout the 1970s into the 1980s.

I’m not dismissing it. That’s the complete opposite of what I’m saying.

I’m saying you lost THAT battle decades ago and as a result of losing it decades ago a compliant that makes nothing and sells nothing can be worth more than General Motors.

With an equation that skewed, all the Left needs to do is wait for Wall Street spivs to devalue a viable American brand, as they always end up doing eventually, buy it up in the fire sale, and bingo.

Or, they can start a tech business in a garage and end up richer than Midas without hiring any more than a dozen American workers. Move the company registration to the state which is regulated the least, and get even richer. Within 15 years you’ve gone from a jobbing inventor to an influencer of governments with factories in China. Just look at James Dyson.
