i think it was plenty blurred already when they created the fed in 1913. and even before that, way back, they used food shortages caused by themselves, but blaming the aristocrats, to foment the french revolution. and even before that, in other countries and other religious wars..

Well, yes, of course they are all controlled by the same puppet masters. Yet there used be a much more clear difference between "capitalism" and "communism" in that the businesses were directed by executives or government. Now China and Russia are more capitalist than ever and USA has less freedoms than ever. Now all of them are totalitarian corporatocracies (government + business = fascism), competing and/or pretending to, on many many levels. If there's little distinction now, there will be less in the future and the puppet masters won't need the difference. Just as China doesn't need political parties now.
