On topic: Uri Avnery has a powerful historical essay, “Confessions of an Optimist”, posted at Counterpunch.

By contrast, my optimist friend CompassionateFascist envisages a dazzling future for America and White Western Civilization; a profound restoration of Art Deco politics and culture.

[LOL. Glad you’ve owned up to that Alter Ego and are keeping CF in check.]

Can you say Waco or Ruby Ridge? We are that frog in the slowly boiling water and, I fear, it’s already to late to jump free. It’s in the Cannibal’s Pot we now find ourselves and the future seems bleak indeed.

When I was in China, there were pictures of a military leader on nearly every block but it was Colonel Sanders!! (of Kentucky Fried Chicken) – posted on garbage cans. Here we would have Mayor Bloomberg raiding them for french fries and transfat doughnuts! I did not see surveillance cameras at every street corner in China – try driving around Northern Virginia!

Yes, China had Tien-A-Mien but what would this country do in similar situations? How about “free speech zones” at the national conventions, Waco, Ruby Ridge ….

OK, you have Lew Rockwell and Ilana Mercer web sites here and not there – but non-political items like starting a business or eating/drinking/smoking are not “orders of magnitude” worse in China. We delude ourselves about our freedom.

If anything, I think you may have understated the scope and intensity of American micro-management of it’s individuals, businesses and everything. I could tell you stories. Glad I found your blog.

Via thousands of people being run over by tanks in the main square. This hasn’t happened in America yet, where the degree of public freedom still exceeds China’s Red Fascism by orders of magnitude. Just try posting something critical on the Chicom controlled internet and see what happens. True, the bogus W.O.T. is being used by the DC/Wall Street globalists to boil-the-frog-slowly…but at some point – probably the gun-grab – there’ll be a violent and extended uprising against the regime. Here in America. Not in China.

The great “difference” is that we amuse ourselves with two party politics where minor rhetorical differences between the two factions of the duopoly get blown out of proportion to give us the delusion of a “democracy”. China does not bother with that aspect of “freedom”.
