* Communists have moved right, by allowing private ownership and entrepreneurial capitalism, while maintaining top-down, command and control.
* We're moving left, pushing hedonic adaptation with consumer-capitalism, which self-enslaves the citizen via loose credit, mortgage debt service, and fear of job-loss and foreclosure, keeping the curious away from D.C., and all its machinations which go on while one sleeps.
* The average family is obsessed with just making it through to the next paycheck, unable to invest intellectual attention to anything bigger than the price of rent, eggs, or gasoline; and the neighbor's trip to the Los Angeles River.
* You can be as individualistic as you want, as long as it dovetails into one of Baskin-Robins, 32-flavors of approved lifestyles, as offered through Wall St..
* It's a perfect system.
* We'll end up structurally identical to Russia and China, but we'll have OUR flag, and OUR identity.
