Just a note on this, much of what China does with its military is attempted copying of the US. They will study an American destroyer, for example, and try to make a replica based on photographic images. The goal is to convince adversaries that China has the same technology and military prowess as the US. Unfortunately, they fool no one; nothing that must be constructed to exacting specifications is constructed to any sort of specifications. Appearance of the mock-up is all that matters. China's replica of America's bleeding-edge nuclear-powered aircraft carrier ... looks similar in many ways, but runs on steam, and is thus very limited in operations, as an example.

Nope. It's socialism, marketed under nationalism rather than the struggle of the proletariat.

it's not TOTALITARIANISM, like you like to pretend.

Totalitarianism is a fundamental aspect of socialism. Nobody gets to "opt out" of totalitarianism in favor of "individual liberties."

or we can call the union of state corporate power something different, since word games are your dumb bag.

Let's call it a government blank purchase agreement enabling government workers to purchase magenta toner at Staples.
