Wow, that is a staggering film full of the most turgid collection of communist and marxist claptrap ever assembled. All that yammering about organization, “means of production,” anarchy vs communism, bourgeoise, proletariat, is just mind-numbing.

We have two centuries of well documented the failures of these types of centrally-planned communes and societies to produce anything in marketable quantities and deliver it to where the market demands it. How can they persist in their child-like belief that these systems work? What’s even funnier is he shows the primitive lives of Chinese in the 60s and 70s living and working under that system and somehow holds that up as an example of what we should aspire to? They were living one step up from caves.

By the way, I worked in China from Fall 1976 to late Spring 1977 and was in their “department stores” in Beijing and Harbin. While the store shelves and products he shows are accurate, there were NO happy faces such as he is showing. Everybody was perpetually miserable and struggling to survive.

What will happen is Trump will call in the Guard over the leftard governor and mayor’s strident protests. They’ll come in, deploy shock grenades, teargas and “the skunk” and then cuff all the fat chicks and pajama boys, and lock them up. Those with rich daddies will make bail and when they get home give them a sound spanking.

Reminds me of a Bonanza episode with a youthful Napoleon wannabe who turns chicken rather than face Little Joe in a gun fight.

Then life will go on. Trump will win in a landslide. Joe will go to a rest home. The economy will continue to reboot. Leftards will dream up some new red herring.
