Beijing 2008 Olympics: Labour relations and social policy reveals China is Neo-Fascist and not Communist

How many times have you heard in the news, or perhaps at your university or college seminar, the phrase "Communist China"? Yet, have you ever wondered why the United States would have so many billions of dollars of financial investment is so-called "Communist China", while supporting an on-going trade embargo against Communist Cuba? This massive "investment" includes the 2008 Olympic Games. Well, there is a very easy reply to such an enquiry. China is not substantively Communist at all. So-called "Communist China" is a sort of re-creation of Mussolini's Fascist Italy, that supported Nazi Germany during World War II.

Anyone who thinks that so-called "Communist China" is really communist, is either not that familiar with the philosophical perspectives and social consciousness of Karl Marx, or may simply have been unwittingly indoctrinated by elite-driven propaganda. Communism à la Karl Marx, sought to rebel against elite control of society in general, and against the exploitation and oppression of the "proletariat' or workers. Communist idealism is inspired by the creation of a socialized egalitarian society.

China is a structured as a top-down society, that embraces greed and the pursuit of power, backed by a political-military-industrial complex. Neo-Fascist China, like Fascist Italy, indeed embraces militarism, authoritarianism, and “corporatism”. Through “corporatism”, U.S. Big Business interests and a state bureaucracy work closely together to exploit the proletariat, in a classic textbook-like execution of fascism.

Cuba has been in contrast demonized by the United States, because Fidel Castro had sought to incorporate actual communist idealism. This includes access to free universal public healthcare; free access to all levels of education, and preventing the kinds of capitalist exploitation that was widespread in pre-Castro Cuba. The peoples of China are without free healthcare; such free access to higher education, and have no protection from U.S. corporate exploitation agendas.

Cuba does have human rights problems. But, so too does the United States. However, the human rights problems of China, because of capitalist exploitation under a fascist system of governance, are also far more prevalent in China, than in Cuba.

Human rights as a motivating factor in the U.S. placing a trade embargo against Cuba is erroneous. Indeed, the Chinese government does not have a better democratic system of governance than Cuba. Cuba is simply being punished by the U.S. for not embracing the capitalist system of exploitation under a corrupted clique of elites, who sell out their citizens.

It was U.S. film maker Michael Moore who exposed how Americans could get the kind of healthcare in Cuba under its universal healthcare system, denied to Americans in the oppressive privatized context of America.

During Hurricane Katrina, the Cuban government as a more compassionate governance context, prevented the loss of human life, while the U.S. President George W. Bush administration showed total negligence.

China is categorically exploitative and oppressive to the "proletariat". Sweatshops where workers have 18 to 20 hour work days are commonplace. Labour/Trade Unions in China are outlawed. Labour laws in China are so weak, that it has become a haven for exploitative U.S. and other transnational capitalistocratic elites. The U.S. invests in China, because, the neo-fascism of China has become a model for the aspirations of Western Big Business elites who are inspired by neo-fascism.

In sharp contrast with China, the Government of Cuba also does seek to embrace the communist ideal of trade unionism.

Mike Hemmings notes in his article titled “Democracy and Trade Unions in Cuba”, that “the unions fought through the 1959 Revolution to remove Batista and his puppet union leaders. They now have an established independent union structure under the CTC (the equivalent of our TUC) with unions covering 18 different trades or sectors of work, e.g. construction, agriculture and tourism. These operate at branch, regional and national level with high levels of participation compared to British workplaces. Most people are members of trade unions (some 97 per cent overall although this varies by trade). LINK

Mr. Hemmings first hand research in Cuba also noted that, “Representatives are elected by regular ballot. At a workplace level, the managers, trade unions, communist party and Cuban women's organisation work together to solve the problems within the particular enterprise. Union officials are keen to point out that although membership levels are high there is no compulsion to join or pay levies to the union as was the case in the Soviet Union. People are members because they choose to be, the levies are low and they see the advantages of participation.”

Neo-fascism, is the maturation indication of a fully exploitative capitalist society, where human and civil rights are diminished, and where the pursuit of ego-driven greed and power prevails.

The U.S. political-military-industrial complex, through Globalization seeks to use neo-fascist China, as a model for the growth of fascism in the United States and throughout the world. This operation is being executed in a context of orchestrated fear and manipulation. It is vital for Canadians, Americans, and other peoples begin to appreciate China not as a “Communist State“, that has somehow allowed “Western Investment”, but as a Super Capitalist Neo-Fascist Society. The type of elite-directed de-humanizing operation in China is the direction that Canada, the United States, the U.K, and the rest of the world will continue to move toward, under the rubric of “Globalization”, if a global clique of fascists, are left to continue to execute their reactionary agenda. Humanity needs to wake up, or face worsening quality-of-survival under colluding neo-fascists.
