China to Make Private Property a Right

[MacCovern]

From Yahoo article:

BEIJING - Communist China is changing its constitution to embrace the most basic tenet of capitalism, protecting private property rights for the first time since the 1949 revolution.

1. No doubt they've got the religion.

Much more RMB to be made taxing sale of properties. OTOH,

i assume this will push factory and real estate costs up dramaticly.

5. And imagine,

we didn't have to fight a major war for it to happen.

There's a lesson here, but you can bet Bu$hco refuses to learn it.

6. They are simply filling a void, orwell

Now that Imperial Amerika is filling the role of Commie Russia and Commie China, the Chinese themselves ae going to move further towards the side of freedom.

Kind of like how the existance of our old rival the Soviet Union prevented the Ruling Class from treating the Imperial Subjects of Amerika that badly.

1) Because the Soviet Union provided a very real threat, and also a focal point for the diasffected

but also, and more importantly

2) No self-styled Free Country could emulate the tactics of the Soviet Union and still be considered free. With them as our example of Tyranny shoved daily in our faces due to the Cold War, it was impossible for the Busheviks to set up their New Orwellian Imperail Amerikan Free-Market Soviet Union because people would have seen through it.

Now that the Soviet Union is gone, Amerika is makign the trek towards becoming more like it, so naturally China is going to rehab itself for the same reason we dared not behave as Tyrannically as the Soviets.

Though this hasn't happened yet, if the Imperial Family isn't stopped, eventually Commie China moving towards freedom will cross paths with Imperial Amerik moving in the opposite direction.

I shudder for that day, likely during the reign of Emperor Jeb or perhaps as late as the reign of Emperor RaygunOrangeHair Gropenfuhrer.

But it will happen unless the Imperial Family is sent back back to wherever it is they come from (Hell?)

9. The move from One party state run economy to

one party capitalist economy.

From Communism to Fascism in one fell swoop.

We, OTOH, are trying to move from a multi-party system to a single-party system.
