So what is different about Russia, China and USA?
Capitalism versus Communism
Capitalism
System of government is democratic
Property is privately owned
Driven by free enterprise
Wealth distributed unevenly
Education and health care provided by private entities
Freedom of the press Class distinctions: upper class, middle class and working class
Focus is on the individual and his/her own progress in life
Communism
System of government is totalitarian
Property is owned by the state
No free enterprise is allowed (sure are a lot of rich Russians and Chinese? )
Wealth distributed equally (NOT)
Education and health care provided by the state
Press controlled and owned by the state
Classless society: all members of society are considered to be equal
Focus is on the progress of the community as a whole
I guess really their are no pure Communist or Capitalist societies.
Seems Russia and China have been a thorn in our sides for a long time. Why we allow China to sell us everything is astounding.
If Russia and China keep helping "rocketman" then we should cut off all trade and tough it out until they come to the table.

The USA and China governments are becoming joined at the hip the last 40 years since Nixon and Kissinger decided that it was time.
Of course we can own firearms and have free elections but the choices of who gets in still is controlled here by lobbyist and Big Business where super pacs buy the votes. Corporations are considered a person under business law. This is scam to skirt accountability.
Wealth building is allowed in both systems now and both can erect a dictatorship if there laws and control mechanisms cause a revolution.Like unfair taxes and fiat money schemes.

Then came Citizens United, the Supreme Court's 5-4 First Amendment decision in 2010 that extended to corporations for the first time full rights to spend money as they wish in candidate elections ? federal, state and local. The decision reversed a century of legal understanding, unleashed a flood of campaign cash and created a crescendo of controversy that continues to build today.0
