    Revolution has already come in many countries, and the US Empire is on its way out. Not sure what your point is, this is correct.

      China is ready to take over as the lead capitalist empire.

        China is neither Capitalist nor an Empire, so not sure what your point is.

          How is China not capitalist? The government keeps it’s capitalist leashed, but they are the driving force are they not?

          I’m also not sure how you’d not see them as an empire? It’s a big ole place with a lot of folk.

            The driving force in the PRC is the public sector. An example I like to use is the rubber ball factory vs the rubber factory, the one who controls the rubber factory has power over the rubber ball factory. In the PRC, heavy industry and large firms are almost entirely under state control, the private sector is more for smaller firms and secondary industries.

            As for being an Empire, Imperialism isn’t judged by size, but by relations with international countries.

            That isn’t really a point, could you explain what you meant, rather than sling pejoratives?
