Good point.
The truth is, however, that we're both betting on and riding a dead horse.
Post industrial American is a house of cards. It's essentially a Ponzi scheme or a stock scam. If you make nothing, your economy is based on nothing--it's an illusion and nothing more.
The deindustrialization of America would not have taken place under socialism.
It is entirely a product of American Free Enterprise.
Corporate executives moved their manufacturing overseas for short term profits, and in so doing, effectively brought down our nation.
They had the "FREEDOM" to do so. They had no rules. It was pure American capitalism.
But AssHat, it's too late to worry about globalization now. The horse is out of the barn. America is fucked, and the world knows it.
A single, planet-wide socialist government may be humanity's best chance, now, NOT because it's a good idea but because we may have left ourselves no choice.
And it will probably be Chinese people running it. They seem to be the ones with the brains.
I'm glad that I won't likely live to have to see it.
