China is a Capitalist conundrum. It manufactures many of the devices used to access the Internet, but blocks much of the Internet’s information from Chinese citizens. China’s President, Xi Jinping wants more "ideological guidance" in China's universities and is encouraging increasing the study of Marxism: an economic system so good, people must be forced to practice it!  President Jinping doesn’t realize that the Capitalist egg has already dropped into China’s soup and can’t be separated. Studying more Marxism now is like studying The Great Wall to keep the Mongol’s out. Too late!  Karl was way off the Marx. Studying his economic system is a study of past failure, not future success. Capitalism is now as connected and inseparable to China as Kung is to Fu. I’m E. Curtis Johnson. I doubt Karl Marx could understand how his hammer has been pounded, and his sickle’s edge has been dulled by China’s adoption of Capitalism. The current President of China hasn’t figure that out either.
