State capitalism, China’s model for the US: opinion

Someone’s comment recently enlightened me as I discussed my view that capitalism is undemocratic.

The person described the government and economy of China in one sentence. “State capitalism“

Overall, it’s a good description of the existence of capitalism in a communist country.

Porcelain.

Sidebar: In China, its armed forces are separate and some would say the almost autonomous power of the Chinese government.

Also the chinese The government explicitly and implicitly controls everything by mandate and occasionally by force. whenever it is convenient to reign in the population. Tibet!

Big companies in China work hand in hand with the communist government and are essentially a Government extension. American investment.

In America Corporations are not the government nor do individuals own everything – All that is left for the corporations is our Government, that is why the campaign cry of those who support corporatism demand that OUR Government will shrink and eventually weaken.

Interestingly, both China and the United States are moving in the same direction toward their own unique types of “state capitalism.”

What is capitalism without democracy.

No one could argue with conviction or credibility that capitalism or communism are democratic.

In fact capitalism and communism are very similar in terms of personal freedom, equity, equality and justice.

There are none!

One could correctly argue that to the extent that China is becoming like America, our nation is becoming like China. American democracy is gradually declining, as illustrated by the Republican Party’s tainted Supreme Court decision and the rights versus privilege debate.

Alias ​​banks large corporations, also known as capitalists, own our houses and the majority shareholders own the banks.

One of our two main political parties is a Trojan horse for “state capitalism”

Our wages are de facto interest payments for State capitalism both in America and China.

The interest we pay goes to corporations in our country (credit cards, mortgages, auto loans).) who then use part of their earnings to influence our votes and therefore. our government. 20% ++ interest rates on credit.

The interest we pay also goes to China, where it is used to pay Chinese workers who purchase US-related goods and services. Foreign investment.

Interest debt then returns to the US in the form of profits for large US corporations, thus completing the cycle.

From our pockets, interest is paid to China and then back to American trade pockets. Therefore, OUR Government is all to blame, we get all the pain, and the capitalists get all the profits!

As this continues, individuals get poorer, our government is blamed and if it shrinks it weakens and bingo, we have state capitalism out the back door!

Does all this scare you?

Should!

What is the solution? Americans need to innovate and reduce corporate control of their lives. The only entity powerful and large enough to help us achieve that goal is OUR Government. You know, the government that the Republican Party wants to eliminate!

The penicillin that will kill the germs of capitalism is democratic socialism. The Doctor who will administer the injection is OUR president.

Capitalists and the (media) corpocracy have succeeded in associating the most democratic form of government with communism, and the word socialism instills instant fear in many Americans. Blind and unfounded fear.

Democratic socialism is democratic, capitalism and corporatism are not.

The difference? Interest that generates excessive earnings, which is accumulated and then used for profit. more power and control.

Think carefully.
