My original post had only a passing reference to communism and dealt with the western illusion that the maritime industry was becoming a welcome arena for women, the truth unfortunately is different. You lack the ability to condemn Communism, the practiced variety not the theoretical one which we both know does not exist, that is mere semantics. What does exist is a growing Globalist/ collectivist mentality which endangers all forms of individualism. Socialist Europe has resigned itself to demographic extinction (population replacement), something I have come to conclude during my frequent interactions with them. Your statement about Chinese middle class disillusion of our dysfunctional bickering in DC is hilarious comrade, yes democracies of varying types have always been inefficient and dysfunctional, in the US it was set up purposefully to hamper government overreaches, something you have no comprehension of. Hapless leftists such as Thomas Friedman lamenting âwhy canât we be China for a day, we would get so much more accomplishedâ or words to that effect are dillusional. Yes central planned economies have the potential for efficiencies and no conflicting compromises but at what cost. Your assertion that you are not sure which will be written off by history, I can assure you it is not capitalism which has already pulled over 2 billion people out of poverty worldwide, ie India, Kenya etc. You want a just and equal society, translation not equal opportunity but equal outcomes I assume. Just society, is code for redistribution of wealth, the transfer of all resources and technology form the west to the PRC, I suppose as an example is already well underway. Capitalism is defined by opportunity. The leftist assertion of greed does take hold if societies have no moral and ethical restraints and institutions most notably also a strong religious tradition which restrains the baser instinct of capitalism operating in a vacume. To even make an equal assessment of capitalism vs communism by a western European speaks volumes as to the decline of common sense and historical insight in the developed world, not to mention that your hero Mao murdered upwards to 70 million proves that genocide is perfectly fine as long as the left perpetrates it. Very sad indeed.
Oh fer Chrissakes. Try asking some women in the business, like me. Or donât ask M-Fâin questions in the first place.
