    China has taken that one step further, they are communists capitalist, if you can make sense of that.

    That might be better said as a capitalistic dictatorship

    I think you have astutely targeted some of our large socialistic institutions. And, I think you are right to name them. I must admit to missing your take on these issues during my absence.
