[Boojatta]

Poll question: China's political and economic system: a hybrid of Communism and Libertarianism?

[nichomachus]

1. The proper term is

Market Stalinism

5. I'm with Cafferty about China.

"the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years."

2. Statist Capitalism

The closest equivalent in the west is National Socialism.

3. Amerika, Russia and China are all Inverted Totalitarianisms.

(see my 3rd signature line for more info)

Trust me, there is ZERO libertarianism in the Sister Governments of Amerika, Russia and China.

So I voted, "none of the above"

Inverted Totalitarianism is the newest for of auythoritarian tyranny, a kinder and gentler hothouse flower which will likely revert to Classic Totalitarianism at the first serious economic, social, or environmental stresses.

4. Labels can't explain the complexities of economic systems
