I think we have to take a strong stance against China. In the past 35 years a few Democrats, but particularly Republicans, have been too encouraging of American businesses relocating to China especially by giving multinationals tax breaks to move operations there. I remember arguing with a Republican and he called me a socialist for taking issue with these tax breaks. No I said, it has to do with maintaining US industrial strength.Shouldn’t you post this crap in a Canadian forum. There are those of us who do not fear for the future or wish to disenfranchise those that wish to vote by mail. This country does not need a foreigner telling us what to do or projecting their insecurities on us. Save your “global socialist” excrement for Canada.I know many American conservatives dislike the current crop of GOP anyways, many of them called RINO's etc whether on here or other forums/twitter. I've heard some suggest that the GOP don't even want to lead, they want to be led, submissively happy to be in the "spoiler role", content to yell and scream "this and that needs to be done", feigning being men of action, until they actually have the power to do it.
So, ultimately, will it be a good outcome for America and the world that libertarianism/conservatism is wiped off the face of the Western world, or is it problematic? There is no way that global socialists and people far more powerful than any single party or candidate is going to let such an easy opportunity to manipulate the outcome of the U.S election, all in the shadows; to pass them by. Look how overt they were in their resistance to Trump in 2016, imagine this could all be done under the hood?
There is little doubt that many want America to be run by Brussels and Beijing.

You have simply not been paying attention if you believe that China, and many wanting to make it rich there at humanities expense, isn't going to be the centre of the world. It has to be, they have the cheap labour and the 1.4B people.
Just ask the British about their great intel crusade over the last 20 years. "Keep your eyes on Russia" (9/11 occurs), "keep your eyes on Russia" (China takes over the world economy and global manufacturing"), "keep your eyes on Russia" (China releases a Wuhan Virus).
Then the great kicker in the groin, which was always bound to happen, China goes into Hong Kong and basically changes it forever. Including banning some pro-democracy candidates. NOW Britain says "keep your eyes on China".
This is not going to end well for the West. The greatest irony? As China engulfs the world, Russia, as their closest ally, becomes even stronger.
This isn't conspiracy, this is economics and global influence metrics. From the size of Chinas military expansion, to it's spying efforts, economic growth, to it's most treasured assets: a willing Western business, political and media class (and even some online forum posters).
We have to be weary of Chinese hegemony. The issue is how best to do it. The flaw in your argument is that it is not about “socialism” for the Chinese. It is about Chinese power and projection of that power. The Chinese would switch economic systems on a whim depending on which one benefits them most both domestically and internationally provided that that system does not jeopardize the ruling political class.
