I think someone here should write an article about it. It’s already being implemented and, if goes according to the plan, can lead to the world-wide suffering and genocide.
What I don’t understand is what drives the politicians and rich people behind this agenda. Even Soviets wanted more serfs, not fewer. Is it mass delusion? Or some kind of an “earth cult”, as this site claims?
I’d be ok with the Chinese running things. I just want to be left alone, and if someone must run things, I would rather another party did it. I don’t need the headaches of being global emperor right now. [:D]
That said, I think you underestimate the anglo-american establishment. The western economy is not going to be destroyed. They are going to try to reshape it into a scientific dictatorship. Now that religion and democracy have failed, we’re headed for technocracy. The sheep love to feel like they are informed by science, whether it is true or not. That is why my generation was weaned on science fiction that had all elements of a central global state front and center.
I do like the Chinese food [:D] However, the Communist party, not so much. Have allergy to communism since childhood, you know
But what if they do destroy it in the process? We’re not talking about conservative capitalist exploiters here. This is a new breed, under the influence of Marxism and other collectivist ideas. They truly believe that printing money creates wealth or that without the government we wouldn’t have all these wonderful technological advancements. The question is, does the rest of the world support all this or they simply get along in the hope of the US & co destroyed (basically, continuing the Soviet plan)? Seeing that China, India and Russia are not supporting cap & trade leads me to suspect that the Western elite has been duped.And this is actually not the worst case scenario compared to the genocide of the 80% of the world population.
As Jim Rogers has said, the Chinese call themselves communist, but they are among the best capitalists in the world.
There is a recent article on LRC about how India is moving away from socialism and towards capitalism, there are even Indians who want to study Austrian Economics at the doctorate level in the USA. (http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig10/chakraverti1.1.1.html) I think what is anazing about China is that although it is closed off to foreign capital, the country is so hugh that it strives without it.
So were the Germans, Japanese and even, believe it or not, many Russians before the revolution. My point it, despite the market reforms and more freedom, it’s still a dictatorship with a communist ideology - remember, the one that cost millions of lives in the 20th century? And they still teach it at school, still censor the media and send people to prison for political reasons. I’m not saying that they will absolutely turn totalitarian again, but they’re certainly not above using their new wealth for expansionism and killing a few million people in the process is certainly not a big deal for them.
So, Chinese are welcome, but Communists are not.
It’s great that India is waking up. It will be interesting to see what will come off of ancient culture mixed with modern technology and ideas of freedom.
