just Compare Mao Communist China and today laisse-faire ultra-capitalist China

That did save their economy from collapsing under its own weight, but China is still very authoritarian so that makes em corporatist.

Some part of me can't help but feel that China decided to take an ultra-capitalist route in order to supplant the West as the prime mover of world funding. Once they get that going, they'll likely work to transition the world into a planned economy. China is anything but a short-sighted nation. In many ways their outlook is far superior, in a Machiavellian sense, than the West. But then again, they probably live by The Art of War like I do

You refereed to a group of Asian people as "yellow".

That's not exactly accepted naming conventions for Asians. That combined with your enthusiasm for vaporizing them and that leads me to concluding that you're making a racist comment.

i'm not a racist and i don't want war

but if the Chinese government/workers/aliens or whatever will violate the libertarian NAP(Non-aggression principle) using force to nationalize(AKA STEALING) western investments well.. I will take this as a declaration of war and I support everything(a counter-revolutionary dictatorship,sabotages and,in the most extreme case,the use of atomic weapons ) will be needed in order to give these lands/factory etc Back to their rightfull owners

You can not steal investments but I understand what your saying as a whole and generally speaking agree with it as a last resort. Wouldn't it be better to simply move back to isolationism? Withdraw from the U.N. set up our infrastructures again perhaps deal with our own continents problems?

LibertarianAS is showing his true colors. He is more about social darwinism than freedom. Just bring back them good'ole days. China is more fascist than libertarian. Companies that wish to sell out to China for their lax labor laws will also have to put up with their host governments occasional decision to censor them and appose their free-speech. Also, last I heard Chinese workers are trying to unionize and fight back against corporate exploitation.

You don't get any property (and certainly not intact factories) back if you nuke the country. And how do you determine who are the "rightful" owners of something to begin with? It's rather a naive view to just assume that anyone who manages to come into possession of something procured it (or the resources they traded for it) through completely non-aggressive means.

As for your libertarian NAP, it sounds like you need it. You're becoming incoherent; perhaps some sleep will make you think a bit more clearly.

Not to mention that China has over 400 nukes to throw back. That might only be a fraction of the US nuclear arsenal, but it is enough to obliterate almost all large cities in the continental US
Even a limited scale nuclear war would create a cloud of radiation that would put nuclear accidents to shame in magnitude. It is an utterly selfish and genocidal way of waging war, there is simply no getting around it

Economic Left/Right: 4.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.28

Which is pretty similar to Angela Merkel's placing on the graph.

Nuking to give back the lands and factories to their rightful owners? Let's see how well that works out after these factories and lands become radioactive/vapourized :roll:

At least we can be sure we have enough nukes to kill any of the smallish asteroids which head our way.

I really wish the U.S. had implemented star wars though, although it would have likely ended up abused.
