The Olympics will be the end
... of the Communist Chinese Government. They just don’t know it yet.
In a little town in North Korea, a girl child is being born. This young baby girl is not the feeling of joy that she would be to most parents around the world, because she will be a burden to her parents for many years to come, without being able to care for her parents in their old age like a son would. The government she has been born into will be controlling her every move from the moment she first drew breath until either she quits breathing or the People get sick and tired of them.
That government so strictly controls every aspect of her life that she will never see a radio or television that has more than a single channel. (In fact, it is a capital offense in North Korea to own a radio or TV that has been altered to receive any other broadcasts than the Official Government station.) As a result, the Government gets to shape the narrative that she sees and hears. This young girl will be taught that North Korea won the Korean War fifty years ago. She will be taught that North Korea is a Worker’s Paradise where all is perfection and she should be grateful to eat tree bark soup and fried grass burgers while Glorious Leader has to struggle along on lobster tails and champagne.
The People believe this for one reason. They’ve never been told any different!
This brings us to Communist China. Richard Nixon went for the first time in modern history about a generation ago. Slowly, our capitalist system has infiltrated their Communist lifestyle, and with the absorption of Hong Kong a decade ago (and the capitalist system that the HK bankers insisted upon, lest they take their massive stores of wealth and walk away) the “poison pill” was swallowed in earnest.
Y’see, capitalism and communism are inherently antithetical to each other. Neither system can truly exist in the presence of the other, and any attempt to mix the two will always default to the capitalist side of the scale.
And I’ll tell you why…
