WTF are you babbling about now? And great job at missing the point, as usual.

The Soviet Union threw the few well educated people and its few resources into its military, while the entire populace suffered deprivation. It was a 3rd World country with nukes and a huge army.

They were incapable of producing any decent product for the consumer market, even if we gave them the technology and the knowledge to manufacture.

And the fact that they had gone from being a despotic agrarian **** hole of serfs and privileged elites, to being a despotic authoritarian **** hole of comrades and privileged elites - that has nothing to do with it?

You are making a faith-based claim, and treating your faith-based "evidence" as if it is the product of science. You are blind to a thousand causes, and religiously, superstitiously insisting that there was only one cause: The absence of Jesus's true doctrine and gospel: Capitalism.

You have a case built in your mind and it's so "true" that you are amazed when others do not see it. That's called delusion. The fact that the Soviets sucked at their badly conceived and designed, top down, heavily bureaucratic, politically land-mined, cover-your-*** system of production is historical fact - the same inefficiencies plagued the capitalist Italians until they were corrected by fascist economics, kid. But all that other faith based hooey, on which you then predicate the preposterous claim that any secrets we gave them would be as useless to them as schematics are to monkeys - that is simply partisan asswipe hogwash of the most bathroomy variety, son.

Amen, brother - praise Capital!

So China is not "truly" Communist - that's your claim?

Okay. Tell us, is their premier "truly" authoritarian? Is their government?

Are their people freedomy? As freedomy as Singaporeans?

Do they love us, with a platonic passion that passeth understanding - a love so brotherly they have no desire to supplant us as the dominant super power?

Is their new freedomy and capitally outlook on life so deeply rooted that we can rest assured they will always see our interests as dovetailing with their own? OR ARE WE TRAINING AND FEEDING AND EQUIPPING AMERICA'S NEXT RIVAL ON THE WORLD STAGE, YOU BLYTHE IGNORAMUS?
