Reading the opposite political opinions expressed on this forum, I reckon that the mutation of communism and capitalism, as illustrated in China, is the society of the century.

Clearly democracy doesn't work (I can never understand why anybody ever thought it would, given the fact that the vast majority are not only stupid but are also only inspired by their own selfish welfare and thing simplistic slogan politics and good teeth will solve all problems).

Dictatorship pretending to benefit the masses (communism) morphs into selfish capitalism with claims of responsibility and that appears to work (in China) for a few years until the clever criminals take over (Russia).

Or in other words (JK Galbraith's, in fact), "In capitalism, man exploits man, in communism it's the other way around."

I also think lip-syncing and miming will merge in such a society, seeing as we're back in loose definition mode!

and one of China's most famous disadents who is a popular singer and TV star (too popular to shoot)says that in reality China could not operate under any other system than the present.

He just calls for more compassion.

ommutalism = social democracy. Works for most of Europe.

Hedda nails it - again.

"..works for most Europe".

And another wise one said, " Democracy may never work perfectly, but for millenia all the alternatives are proven not to work at all."

there is one Communist led country that is not only the only one that has defeated the USA in war in it's rampant Capitalist campaigns (and is also why the USA is an economic disaster zone heading for an even bigger crash)..Vietnam.

Thriving.

Commutalism just sounds as if it means everyone travels to work.
