Nobody twisted the arms of the companies who gave away the store to do business with China.

Some only see the bottom line in quarters.
yup, although I wouldn't be surprised that there's been espionage (all countries do it), the IP theft myth is being propagated by our govt to smear china.

I agree.

We have always had a mixed economy in the USA. It works very well, much better than entirely one system or entirely another.

You were mistaken. While counting the people at rallies, you should have been counting those who were not there.

It's kinda like we all think football and baseball are such huge attractions cities sell bonds and enter into to all kinds of financial supporting agreements with teams.

But, in any given year more people attended classical music performances than ball games.
Such a simple statement.
Such a huge truth.

I fear it will still fly over the heads of many.

The other guy - successfully, I might add - made the election all about himself. Trump did what he does best, sucked the air out of the room and turned a presidential election into a plebiscite on himself - "Trump, am I the greatest or what?"

It's just that his main accomplishment in the last 4 years was to stick it to anyone not supporting him. His followers absolutely cherished that, broadcast it to the world, rubbed the non-supporters' noses in it, good and well.

Then, to the Trump crowds' chock and surprise, the non-supporters got a tad resentful and kicked him out.

Congratulations, played yourself, etc.

Communism, according to Marx, occurs after the state whithers away and individuals choose economic cooperation.

The working definition is basically when the state owns the means of production. China diverted from that road a couple generations ago.
So they call themselves the Chinese COMMUNIST party just for funsies?
