The quote makes it clear that the Communist Party in China is in complete control. That Communist Party is not the same as that of the old USSR, of course, or the traditional definition. In that sense, they are certainly not Communist. But do you think they don’t know what to call themselves? They still seem to think they are Communists, despite the differences.

The Nazis called themselves socialists, by the way. To this day there are many arguments about whether they were primarily on left or right.

And “fascist” has also morphed into a term that means something more than industry cooperating with and under the control of government.

They don’t get their money, or the land, back after the war.

That’s a HUGE loss for China; rubbing slat on the wound, you might say.

The same applies across the Globe; any country that declares war on China can seize all and any Chinese-owned assets, no refunds are allowed.

This should make Australia happier.

(Think of all the properties in central London that will suddenly become HMS’s Government Property!)

Some people—with a wide smile (e.g., a Biden sh**-eating grin)—just LOVE challenges like that….
Gives them a purpose.
A reason to wake up in the morning.
Makes their lives meaningful.

Gosh! How many people did I dupe today?! (And it’s a good thing, too—how else are they s’posed to learn anything?)

Oh, it’s greed all right(!)
BUT married to that most seductive, “But it’s for the best—for the common good” (a kind of businessperson’s correlative of Reagan’s “thirteen most terrifying words”)

The “chaser” being the “uplifting” motivation that “I had better “do it”, “get it”—steal it?—before someone else does…since…I’m more deserving of it…since…I’m better, cleverer, more capable, more MORAL…than those other gangsters out there…

(The down side of “morality”—so easy to pretend—and that even more potent force: Messianism…?)

IOW, there’s a whole lot of pretty intense rationalization going on there…

(Needless to say, since people like Trump aim to prevent me from getting my JUST DESSERTS, they are EVIL and must be prevented at ALL COSTS…once again, FOR THE GOOD OF ALL!!)

We’ll see how the “plant-based protein craze” pans out, assuming the climate fascists — including Gates — don’t shut down meat-based protein which is on their agenda.

Africa, South and Central America are the low hanging fruit. I would suggest they’re making their way through some of Europe as well.

I can’t tell if it is just greed or some underlying motive.
