Its got to be the greatest irony in human history that China switched to capitalism, we switched to Obama communism, and China is surging while we are dying.

Well looky there!

In this year's index, Hong Kong retains the highest rating for economic freedom, 8.90 out of 10 (down slightly from 9.01 last year).

What is currently called "economic freedom" is corporate freedom.

You comments are noted, especially in our current US system, but this study assume the opposite of what you just posted. Just a little history on corporatism here:

As the Nobel laureate Edmund Phelps wrote: "The fundamental corporatist idea was to retain the private income, private wealth and private ownership of firms that (were) so central to capitalism (and found in avant-garde examples of market socialism too) but to remove the brain of capitalism — to curtail and to modify the mechanism of experiments and discoveries undertaken by unorganized entrepreneurs and financiers on which capitalism relied. . . . Corporatism sought to interpose the interests of the whole society in a range of decisions affecting the directions taken in the business sector."

So Obama and Mussolini have something in common, they lack the IQ to understand why capitalism is superior.
