Americans are deadly to capitalists!

Yes, there are about 10,000 companies [and about 100,000 accompanying personal tragedies] that go bankrupt every month in the holocaust of capitalism merely because they can't satisfy the often trivial whims of fickle and deadly consumers. Indeed, Americans are brutal and deadly to capitalists. If you doubt it try investing your life savings, try going into business to face the long odds against survival that every capitalist faces.

That's the way it is and should be. If a customer doesn't want to pay for a product or service, too bad. If anything, capitalists are deadly to Americans.
 
If you have eyes when you go to China you see 12 new gleaming ultra modern cities each bigger than NYC filled with folks getting rich at a 6.7% growth rate per year!!. 1+1=2. Indeed the IMF and World bank have verified that when China switched to Republican capitalism they instantly eliminated 40% of all the poverty on earth in the greatest economic miracle of all time.

Ah. James972 now officially admires and supports a communist regime. Got it.

And he has no clue that maybe, just maybe the IMF and World Bank are basing their judgments on precisely what China told them...even when it was China's OWN government organ that said that the threshold for poverty is $360 USD per YEAR. Per freaking YEAR. But I guess as long as ol' James is hearing what he wants to hear, that's all that really matters....

actually a communist regime buys up its industries while a capitalist one sells them off. Can you guess which one China is doing????

actually they do their own studies and independently verify the data from sources like Hollywood which is heavily involved in the movie industry and our auto industry which is heavily involved in their auto industry!! And of course we know exactly how much of our money and the world's money flows into China from exports. Sorry to rock your world!!

One wishes you'd apply even half as much cynicism to the claims of communist China as you do to American liberals. Dude, the IMF and World Bank go on data that CHINA gives them.

$360 USD per YEAR is their threshold. I'd love to see you try to live on that over there!

But I guess that the blind trust that you are giving China (and by extension, the World Bank and IMF) are precisely why you trust Trump just as blindly.

hasn't it occured to you by now that you're always wrong???? The only thing you are contrary to is the obvious truth!!


Here are 3 of the latest books with which to begin your education on China:

"Capitalism With Chinese Characteristics"

"How China Became Capitalist"

In his new book titled Markets over Mao: The rise of private businesses in China, Lardy argues that even though SOEs still enjoy monopoly positions in some key sectors in China, such as energy and telecommunications, their role in the overall economy has diminished significantly over the years. Here are some of the facts he presents to back his thesis: in 2011, China’s state-controlled firms only accounted for about a quarter of the country’s industrial output; and their share in exports has dropped to about 11% today; in 2012, state firms were only responsible for about one-tenth of fixed investment in manufacturing. And in terms of employment, SOEs employed about 13% of China’s labor force in 2011, a dramatic decline compared with the 60% figure recorded in 1999.
