RUSH: It\u2019s Open Line Friday. Now we head back to the phones. This is Carl, Leona Valley, California. Great to have you. Thank you for waiting.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, thank you, Rush. It\u2019s a pleasure to share that microphone with a rank amateur. I really appreciate it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re more than welcome, sir. Ha-ha-ha-ha. Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CALLER: Listen, Rush, I believe turnaround\u2019s fair play. Now, you gave me a real shock of the imagination this week, even alluding to the fact that the iron grip of the DNC could be rattled a little bit in California<\/a>. We\u2019re in so much trouble out here. But I\u2019d like to stimulate your imagination. I was thinking about the iron grip in 1983 of the Soviet Union and communism. And Reagan, in hindsight that dissolved, and I was wondering what you thought of the fact — or the possibility that by 2024 communism could drift away in China.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know, it\u2019s an interesting thing to contemplate, because the ChiComs, you know, nobody talks about China this way, I think because it\u2019s the least interesting to a lot of people. I mean, let\u2019s face it, the Democrat Party and the American left do not want to talk about communism in trouble. I mean, they will deny that Venezuela is in trouble or deny that Venezuela\u2019s socialist. They\u2019ll deny that Cuba is communist. \u201cNo, no, no, no, that\u2019s not what socialism is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crazy Bernie\u2019s doing everything he can to redefine socialism as Democratic socialism. The problem the Chinese have \u2013 this is very, very shrewd of you. The Chinese have over a billion people they gotta control. Now, they\u2019ve got a humongous army to keep people under control. They\u2019ve got a big country to keep in control. They\u2019ve also got a lot of people they have to feed, and they have a world that China lives in now where technological advances are things the Chinese can\u2019t hide. So the Chinese are now getting in on manufacturing.<\/p>\n

The challenge for the ChiComs, like it was for Gorbachev and the Soviets, is how do you combine elements of capitalism necessary for the creation of prosperity for your people and yet maintain a communist denial of basic freedom, control over them? At some point something\u2019s gotta give. And economic prosperity is one of the greatest pressure points for this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
