As I near 200,000 followers here at fishingboatproceeds, I just wanted to to say China is one of my favorite countries. Not only that, but communism is amazing. It makes me go a little crazy on it to be honest. Like, I cannot spread it wide enough through the world to be satisfied. I’m only satisfied when I feel those intense, powerful, rhythmic chants of the workers in the streets. When I sit back on my heels, look around at the revolution with warmth in my heart and sweat running across my brow, hair all fucked up and wipe my face with the back of my arm and ask you if I did a good job and you cannot even speak because I’ve drained the means of production out of the parasitic bourgeoisie..... that’s when I’m satisfied.
One argument I read recently in American exception book, was the united States can only continue this system of private Healthcare the way it is now because of imperial plunder, in realist terms even if neoliberals attempted to destroy western European social democracy the cost of Healthcare wouldn't be sustainable due to the ineffencys of private Healthcare because you have to pay all these rentier capatliats fees for nothing. This in turn undermines the stability of the nation state and with out an hegemonic status to support it causes instability that is seriously damaging to the economic foundation of capitlism even neoliberal ones.
This all being said they may attempt to do this in the near term in the uk and western Europe but I don't see this as a smart choice as it is the equivalent of removing oil from a car engine and then red lining it. It would seem that we are slow approching a conclusion to the neoliberal era as supply chains and financial capital are creating so much uncertainty and unproductive rentier sectors its clear this current economic ideology is heading for disaster.
