Greetings Glen,

China has been capitalist ever since 1976. The reason that the US is now borrowing from them is that, due to US consumerism, the capitalist class in China has been enabled to ruthlessly exploit their domestic workers enough that they are, in some aspects, catching up with what the US has carried out historically through chattel slavery, genocide, and the theft of the land of the native peoples that this empire achieved $tatus of superpower from.

I wouldn't recommend reading Marx at all, for the same reasons I wouldn't recommend reading Darwin to understand evolution at this point in history. There are many who approach communism as a doctrine and not a science..those are the ones who'd have you reading Marx etc.. Instead learn from contemporaries such as Bob Avakian who leads the party that Sunsara is a part of. Although Avakian's New Synthesis is one that will simply lead to social-imperialism because it upholds American lifestyles and does not recognize that the principle contradiction today is between the First World and the Third World, there is no better introduction to the basics of communism I've found than his 11+ hour video talk at RevolutionTalk.net/films and the 60+ hours of audio at BobAvakian.net (especially good for newbies is his talk on Democracy in the "other talks" section.)

But I can't go without saying that the only true communism in the world today is Leading Light communism:

Hey all - just found you - my new friend Steph had this group in her list.  :)  

 

I don't know that much about Marx.  Something to add to my reading list.  But I met Sunsara Taylor at a convention this weekend and liked what she had to say.  Here to learn more.

I heard a great line tonight from a guy ranting on youtube about the US budget.  "How can I tell my daughter, with a straight face, capitalism is a better system than communism if we're borrowing all of our fuckin money from the biggest communist country on the fuckin planet!"    

lol good point.     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mAUQYn6DjM at 0:57.   NSFW

I can. I've even met them. Bigots and racists who think that Xtianity is the religion of the "goody.goody" people who love their neighbours and that all other religions are ethnic identities.
