They try to have capitalism without freedom, and it just doesn't work. They pretend that it works by flushing trillions of dollars through the system, just as we do, to paper over the externalities, but that also doesn't work - in the long run it leads to systemic collapse, just as we are now seeing, there and here. It is impossible for bureaucratic committees to successfully control the economic decision making of billions of people. Yet they continue to try despite the endless failure, using propaganda and prisons to obscure the undeniable truth. Small wonder people refuse to participate. It's the same here. It was the same in Soviet Russia. They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work. What's that popular phrase in England? "Not my job."
