Unfortunately when anti-fascists get together, we rarely get much accomplished because first we all need to talk. It's like herding cats, if you recall occupy wall street. That's what happens when you share power democratically, it's messy AF.

CCP are straight fascists. Would hate to be Christian, Muslim, Tibetan or HKer in today's China. Economically they are kicking ass tho.

CCP are straight fascists.

There's no need to apply a political ideology to them they don't ascribe to. They're communists. All other communist regimes have been roughly the same. Fascists are somewhat different. Why twist these terms in the way you are doing if you're not ultimately trying to defend communism?

Economically they are kicking ass tho.

Yes slavery kicks arse, doesn't it? And they have made slaves of their entire population. That's communism for you.

Sutton's next three published books (Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, Wall Street and FDR and Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler) detailed Wall Street's involvement in the Bolshevik Revolution to destroy Russia as an economic competitor and turn it into "a captive market and a technical colony to be exploited by a few high-powered American financiers and the corporations under their control"[5] as well as its decisive contributions to the rise of Adolf Hitler and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose policies he assessed as being essentially the same "corporate socialism," planned by the big corporations.[6] Sutton concluded that it was all part of the economic power elites' "long-range program of nurturing collectivism"[3] and fostering "corporate socialism" in order to ensure "monopoly acquisition of wealth" because it "would fade away if it were exposed to the activity of a free market."[7]

Cope. It's all capitalism's fault, somehow.

You like using that word :-) Cope. Capitalism is really good and responsible for the rise of China. China has managed though to prevent some of the weak points that arose in the US. Things like IP, like copyright and patents, they aren't really capitalist ideas though but some strange non natural state arrangement.
