So the CCP thinks it can have the fruits of high-growth capitalist markets without producing a deterritorializing desiring subject and its vissicitudes? CCP won't see the 22nd century with that attitude, at least, not without a soldier on every street corner if not a secret police informing on dissidents. For sure, America's GINI coefficient will worsen, but it'll always make concessions to progressivism that make it palatable, e.g. eventual Federal legalization of marijuana and prostitution (which lip service to Federalism will delegate to individual states as with marijuana already), perhaps a more approximate version of universal healthcare, etc. That power in America appears decentralized, attributable to no one in particular, is a feature, not a bug. The CCP will have no such luxury since they're actively campaigning to divest themselves of such. They also, owing to ideological committments, can't use immigration to buoy their declining birth rates like the West, not to mention the message they're sending with, you know, all the ethnic cleansing going on.
