delrem's JournalIt doesn't mean anything.
What means something is that Mao kicked out the European free-ports, those colonialist enterprises run by colonialist countries.
It had to be done.
The Brits still had their Island colony.
The ruling class on that Island colony hadn't done a very good job for China, when they were in power - and now they ruled their Island at Her Majesty the Queen of England's sufferance.
In the thousands of years of China's history, their governance was the nadir.
China now had to fend for itself outside of and ostracised from the American/European economy, in a condition that was totally undeveloped and totally the product of neglect.
For all its faults, China is now/soon the #1 economy in the world.
That happened quickly, considering the size of the engine.
The Chinese invented the concept of "state capitalism" decades ago, whereas most Americans still associate China with a nebulous hate-word 'communism', think its economy has something to with "Marx", and beyond those insights don't have a clue.
You have successfully run me off DU.
Not your post alone, of course, but because I respect your posts and it was you who posted it, it was "the straw that broke my back", my will to continue.
I cannot post on a forum where I'm accused of being a racist because I support the ideals and aspirations of Bernie Sanders, and try to defend Bernie Sanders against innuendo that he's either a racist or doesn't give a shit about racial issues. When I can't even rec a post lauding MLK, without being shat on as "cherry picking" or whatever crap-filled innuendo is being flung.
I respect your posts, and those of 1SB and others. I think you all have good hearts.
But I cannot continue to post on DU when discussion is under such an all pervasive noxious cloud, where I have no way to defend myself against slander against my character.
