Colonial America 1776-2030?
On this day of America’s 246th birthday, let’s clearly recognize what America truly is: the last big colonial power, collapsing!
China’s state capitalism = communism + capitalism

American “free market” is a lie!
The American version of “free market” is a big, fat lie! It’s time to denounce it as such!

Let me elaborate on each …

A loop theory for societal development
In my last two posts, I highlighted Karl Marx (Karl Marx) and summarized his works in a nutshell (Karl Marx’s works in a nutshell), respectively. In this post, I will…
“We the People”, really?
“We the People,” so begins the U.S. Constitution. It was a very powerful slogan for a new nation, which was founded with neither a king nor a pope. Unfortunately, it…
