China is a communist country. Without the communist Chinese production, the global market would collapse.

This thread is a joke. Bluering I hope you can manage to crawl out from under your bed now and then and actually enjoy life, instead of freaking out about commies supposedly in charge.
You have proven adept at bottom feeding for sources, though. From paragraph 1 of the "Pravda" column (LOL, fooking "Pravda"!!! LOLOLOL):
Are liberals mentally ill, spiritually depraved or just ignorant good-hearted people trying to improve society?
He omits the part about being liberals being pedophiles and baby eaters.
Oh yeah...
Boo, madrefookers!

He means that they're only nominally Communist, these days.
They'll kill us all to make a profit.

Hey! They're just like Wall Street.
Now that bluey is turning to Pravda for his news, does that make him a Fellow Traveller?

Skully, well put, as always. Economists use the term 'state capitalism'.

How many protesters and anarchists do you think adhere to this ethos?
I think the majority of protesters think they have a clearly defined set
of beliefs and values. Their problem is that what is clear in their minds
would befuddle someone who is capable of logical and rational thought. As
for the anarchists and nihilists, well, let's just charitably say that they're
all about 'the journey'.

I think it's more of a matter that there's a lot of people, from the protestors to the police, who have some inner rage built up. You know, that thing that makes people lose in in traffic or when somebody feeds a squirrel.

As opposed to today's entitled republican social corporatists who believe they are due great wealth for no other reason than they are due.

Are Intel, Microsoft, Apple, Home Depot, or Walmart not entitled to reap profits from their gains? Who should reap the gains? The somewhat lazier, more uneducated "worker"?
Even that asshat Buffet benefits from tax loop-holes in Bekshire Hathaway and his previous holdings, but now he's grown benevolent somehow, after he made his billions?
It's bullsh#t.
Without people taking risks and giving things their all, there would be no 'tech industry'. And yes, same with Walmart. And Home Depot.
People are not all the same in the economy. Some contribute more than others at greater risk. Some are comfy making a more modest wage working for these entrepeneurs (like me).
Others just want to do very little and have gov't give them checks. So the old Capitalist picture displayed by the Soviets is pretty accurate. It is a kind of caste system, but to think eveyone deserves the same is stupid and naive.
We all have equal rights, and even opportunities, but the outcome is chosen by your individual actions and perserverance.
EDIT: And what that old Soviet pic of Capitalism fails to depict is that the gov't is at the top nowadays, not the "rich corporatist".
Why do you think commie China and Russia are almost more capitalist than us now???

Boy you sure come up with some naive dumb sh#t some times Bluey. Government is top dog huh?
As for the commies going capitalist, this is quite true but in case you havn't noticed they are giving that annoying democracy a pass and are going straight to the corporate authoritarianism. That is something that your beloved Walmart, Exon and Haliburton would gladly trade your mother and first born for, and if you would help them do it I'm sure they will reward you for your loyal stupidity.
Be careful before you label me as stupid. Aldous Huxley once said that one day as the Soviets and US surpassed each other in ideology, we would each become more and more like each other's past.
Them more capitalist, and us more State-ist. Or Communist. What do you see happening? Gov't controlled motors? Funded Solyndra? Gov't prevention of oil production? It goes on...

Commies don't understand.
They are just a byproduct of azzhole capitalists.
Good capitalists realize that with great power and wealth comes great responsibility. By my observation, many do realize this.
Bad capitalists screw up the whole world by feeding it to commies who tend to make sure there is justice for none.
This is where the f*#king neo-cons went wrong...they f*#ked it all up!
Read all these points and ask yourself if the commies are winning;

They are extracted from the Venonna Papers and the Communist Manifesto.

Even intelligent people are capable of stupidity, especially when their emotions and base impulses overrule logic and moral principle. It can happen to me as much as anyone..... are you suggesting that you are immune? What you just said is stupid and naive in my opinion. It shows a profound lack of understanding of what you are talking about. Any corporate entity would absolutely love to have the unfettered freedom from competition and any pretense of social responsibility that the state corporations of Russia and China enjoy, plus the cookie jar of capitalzation from the state. It is corporate heaven.
Re-read what I said, or implied.
Unfettered capitalism can not work, needs regs. Which is what China/Russia are doing. But not regs that debilitate the economy and the "engine". Fine balance!@
Nobody is immune, but the "underlings" need to suck it too! Everybody does. Everybody must contribute!
If takers outweigh givers, you have a collapsing state like Greece, et al...
China also underplays their currency. Unfair, when we're supposed to compete!.

Walmart IS Chinese, basically operates a slave labor force both here and abroad and foists it's true labor costs onto the American taxpayer. It represents corporations at their worst. Beyond clueless, duped in every respect. Republican dopers, minorities, and gays - as identity crisis go, those are tough ones and a sure sign of someone lost in the wilderness.
