POLITICAL TRIBALISM
Many people do not know what Socialism is, an Industrial Revolution term for “community control of the means of production”. Communism is “government control of the means of production”. Capitalism is “capital controls the means of production”, and Monopoly Capitalism, is “monopoly control of the means of production by capital that controls the means of production”.
What Communism was in the USSR was one party control of the means of production, an undemocratic party with a ruling elite. Today’s Capitalism in democratic countries is financial control of Capital, which control, corporations, stock markets, the banking systems, run by financial elites, who control Capital markets, the Investor class, who call the shots.
China has a one party autocratic system run by a group that calls itself the Chinese Communist Party. The party runs the means of production, the government, and conducts one party elections. The Capital class in China has to do what the party directs, the party calls the shots.
The political tribalism here is not voting for any person in the opposite party. For example, this election, there are a number of citizens who will only vote for Republicans because the other party is composed of communists and socialists.
