China set to displace all nations as sole superpower

The inevitability of China’s rapid ascension to the position of leading superpower is creating dread in traditional western centres of power – but it's the west that has been beaten at its own game.

Totalitarian uniformity is good
Totalitarian uniformity is good

The western world is slowly learning the advantages of central control and the one party system. Democracy – if it ever existed – has passed its use-by date as western governments move ever closer to restrictive totalitarian controls. Curtailed civil liberties and information filtering are only the first of many planned policies to bring us up to par with the totalitarian model that has proven so effective in China. Democracy today is simply a cumbersome nuisance for western plutocrats.

What could beat the efficiency of the one party, central control totalitarian model? Opposition groups, dissenters, and radicals are afforded trials and executed on the same day – please don’t mention organ harvesting; ‘criminals’ are privileged to serve the living in death! Consider antiquated (emotive) western values; the financial burden of the western prison system; the cumbersome western legal system that can take years to deliberate over the slightest offence and then cannot profit from its criminals. A single shot to the head or heart for serious offences against the State -- the cost of the bullet borne by the offender’s family – that is a streamlined, high efficiency apparatus.

The greed of western transnationals and mega-corporations proved to be the undoing of America and other western nations. In their manic need for greater profits western corporations outsourced and offshored almost their entire manufacturing base and other related support industries/sectors to the East.

China (and India) couldn’t have asked for a better arrangement! With a massive and easily skilled cheap labour force – that no greedy corporation could resist – the East was set to capture the knowledge and means it required to reign supreme. The Chinese were waging a war the west failed to detect or understand -- only now in defeat has the West realised they’ve been ‘done like dinners.’

Milton Friedman’s glorification of profit as the cure-all/economic God model was adopted by all avaricious right-wing capitalists; this model would necessarily create a globalised economy that Transnationals imagined would favour them but with a few tricks like currency manipulation, the greatest portion of benefit went to China, notwithstanding western corporate CEOs and directors reaping hundreds of millions in personal benefits – all part of the plan! The ‘pig’ feeding at the trough was too busy feeding to think of long-term consequences.

We know this model under the heading of GLOBALISATION, a model once touted as an economic cure-all. [China and India’s wildest dream come true!]

As a result of globalisation China is now assuming the role of banker of the world – western greed and short sightedness allowed China to acquire the world’s largest currency reserves – an enviable position for any nation on the threshold of becoming the world’s leading power.

China is lamenting the fact that Bush will soon be replaced – his drunken sailor economics and the irresponsible printing of bills by the Fed has sealed the fate of a once powerful nation. It’s all downhill from here as the Euro is set to displace the greenback as the currency standard of the world. Never have so few done so much to harm so many in such a short period of time!

However, the people are also waging a war, one that has been largely ignored in the race for wealth. All nations today are creating huge disparities and monumental inequalities – we can’t thank you enough. If you’re wondering who that is bashing down your door, it’s the labourer you robbed of his due!

Plutocrat and communist -- perfect match
