Many believe that capitalist nations can get along with communist nations and that we can learn from each other - that we can involve ourselves in trade and commerce as a bridge to peace. I completely disagree, and every time the US seems to try such a notion it ends up bad for them or us, and in the end there are hurt feelings on both sides. This is because capitalism and communism do not mix. One is based on the right to free contact, along with personal freedom and liberty.
The other, communism works to control the flows of labor and micro-manage everything. Why? It has too, or the population will get wise, reject communism seeing the light of FREEDOM! Socialism is another way to run a nation, but it also gets into severe problems when the government runs out of rich folks to tax to redistribute their money.
Currently, China is in a traditional phase, and going to experience huge inflationary challenges, as their hands have over-stepped their bounds. Today, China is using price controls to slow inflation, even demanding that farmers to grow more vegetables. Now then, it is true that capitalist nations have been able to work with communist and socialist nations in trade, but it is usually unfair and unbalanced.
First of all, capitalist nations can easily out produce other nations. And when a communist nation has government run businesses, it generally puts the workforce into "slave labor type situations" or you can call it economic enslavement if you'd like. This is good for the communist leaders because a few who are running the Communist Party can collect all the money and get rich, and the capitalist nations don't complain as they are able to buy things cheaper from these nations.
Of course this also goes against freedom and liberty because now the capitalist nation and the communist nation are involving themselves in free trade, while exploiting people, which is totally unacceptable in a nation that stands for freedom and liberty. Likewise, with a socialist nation, the socialism manifests its way into the work force, and the government controls the businesses, or even becomes one with the businesses its state owned agencies.
In doing so this reduces the productivity levels, and the state becomes a business, which is the opposite of capitalism, although it pretends to participate in capitalism it rarely actually does. Sure, things are good for a while when a communist or socialist nation pretends to practice at least part of capitalism theory, but in the end they revert back to micromanagement and control, and no real progress was made for their people in the end or they come up and then end up sliding back down. If they are lucky the climb up two steps and only slide back one.
These realities often lead to collapse. A communist nation or a socialist nation should stay with whatever is working for them. But the cold hard reality is communism is socialism has never worked for the people, it's a dead end, and it causes the life experience of entire populations of human beings and renders them wasted. Only freedom and liberty, and a capitalist society can harness the power and the innate characteristics of the human species.
Creating a beehive of humanity will not work, and these are some of the reasons that capitalism, communism, and socialism do not mix in free markets and world trade - they can't, and we are fools for pretending so. Of course in my humble opinion this is only one of the human follies I see as self-evident. Indeed, hope you please consider all this.
