Within the next 3 years, I predict a corporate-military alliance between
Let history speak - such as the 1939 Pact between Fascist Germany and Communist Russia.
Shall we be seeing the rise (and fall) of a 'Chinamerican Empire' in the 21st Century ? We've already had the rise and fall of the American, British, Austro-Hungarian, Greek, Roman Empires etc - so why not ?
If we don't fully understand the word 'totalitarianism', then we better start waking up, wising up and growing up - fast.
The word "Anti-American" (& "100% American") is straight out of the Totalitarian Handbook - and is bandied about by Bush like confetti to denote those who oppose his out-of-control regime.
As Chomsky points out, can you imagine someone shouting "Anti-Italian" in the streets of Rome, if there is opposition to a policy in the Italian Government - or even "Anti-British" if there is opposition to one of Blair's foreign policies ? The Italians would laugh in derision - just as we would...I hope !
But Bush seems to be getting away with shouting "Anti-American" under his 'gangster-casino' Capitalism. THAT is a hallmark of a totalitarian state - just as Russian dissidents were dubbed "Anti-Soviet' under Communism. I'm sure communist
Just imagine - a Chinese-American pact in the permanent 'War on Terror' - God help us all.
Americanism = Totalitarianism
Chinamericanism = Totalitarianism
British Americanism = Totalitarianism
British Chinamericanism = Totalitarianism
We need to develop an immunity to propaganda, or we will succumb to 'doublethink'...and if we do not think clearly for ourselves - together - then we will start swallowing this kind of dangerous nonsense :
"Anti-American" = Terrorist or Terrorist Sympathiser.
"Anti-Chinamerican" = Terrorist or Terrorist Sympathiser.
Remember, the right-wing Establishment (eg American Capitalism) has been highly successful with their political propaganda campaigns - such as linking the Left, the Liberal, the Socialist with Communism.
A full dose of 'doublethink' will ensure we can square the circle of Capitalism and Communism.
The Chinamerican Empire - here we come ?!

This seems a very probable scenario. We should all be paying much more attention to China. She is the USA's main creditor, and the increasing focus of capitalist investment - e.g. Rupert Murdoch.
What you call 'propaganda' is, I fear, actually believed by those who spout such rubbish.
When Thatcher got in, a liberal Tory lady grandee said to me: "Better fasten our seat belts - we're in for a rough ride". Her words ring even truer today.
