Fundamentally, do you think economic conflict comes down to values or reality?

An interview effectively talking about conflicts right (capitalism) having with left (socialist, communist) thinking.

Key values of USA are/were - freedom of speech, freedom of religion. I've been to China... you can go to church, but you cannot speak freely, you cannot cause problems. If you do, you are "dealt with". In Russia, talk freely, might be killed. If you talk freely in USA now... you might be "Kirked"... assassinated.

Reality - Communism took hold in China because of the inequities of farmers. Revolution/Socialism took root in France because of inequities.

It always comes out of inequalities, people "can't make it".

USA better be very aware of these conflicts as we go forward. As the currency is debased, country attacked (outside via drugs, inside via ideas), be aware.

You may have to stand your ground and fight for a cause, what would it be... other than your own families lives... but on concept.

What do you think?

Wealth disproportion has nothing with common with political or economic system. It's just polarization but no one addresses the elephant in porcelain store, but everyone complains that porcelain breaks. The problem isn't left or right, capitalism, socialism or what ever. It's that a CEO make more while getting to toilette than a worker working 180 hours in month and the CEO pays practically zero taxes due millions of tax evasion holes, while the worker has to upkeep the system.
By the way. A former car concern boss in China got death sentence for financial malversations. He won't be executed if he cooperates while Chinese government gets all his assets. Then the death sentence turns in 30 or 40 years prison.
Imagine something like that in US. They 'suicided' Epstein just because he knew too much and was too dangerous but no one will be ever sentenced from The 1% in US for financial scam or tax evasion. Look at Trump and his oil price insider trade.

That's why China will very likely win.
