Ironically, there is nothing, strictly speaking, Communist about any of this situation. The Chinese are a one party dictatorship, but in no way communist, except in name. Such is the problem with “communism” and, to a lesser extent, socialism. Political power is consolidated within the government and away from the people. Eventually, it always leads to oppression. That so much of the globe fails to learn from history is remarkable. I guess the allure of free stuff is just too great.
