Walz Praised Chinese Communism as a System Where 'Everyone Shares'

As a high school teacher in the 1990s, Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota governor Tim Walz appeared to extol life under Chinese communism, telling his students that it is a system in which "everyone shares" and gets free food and housing.

"It means that everyone is the same and everyone shares," Walz said during a lesson on China's communist system in November 1991. "The doctor and the construction worker make the same. The Chinese government and the place they work for provide housing and 14 kg or about 30 pounds of rice per month. They get food and housing."

A former top aide to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was arrested on federal charges accusing her of acting as an undisclosed agent of China and the Chinese Communist Party.
...
Linda Sun, who had been deputy chief of staff to Hochul for a year in addition to holding other state government positions, is charged with violating and conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act, visa fraud, alien smuggling, and money laundering conspiracy.
...
An indictment unsealed Tuesday alleges that the 41-year-old Sun, while working in the governor’s office under Hochul and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and in multiple state agencies, also acted as an undisclosed agent for the People’s Republic of China, where she was born.

The indictment says that while “acting at the request of PRC government officials and the [Communist Party of China] representative, Sun engaged in numerous political activities in the interests of the PRC and the CCP.”
...
She also allegedly arranged “for meetings for visiting delegations from the PRC government with New York State government officials.”

Communism 3.0: The Succession of Capitalism and the China Model

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 148

Karl Marx characterized Communism as “the negation of the negation,” which is a peculiar turn of phrase he borrowed from his theoretical predecessor G.W.F. Hegel. What that means is that propertied societies, whether slave, feudal, or capitalist, negate our innate Communist (“social”) nature, and then Communism in turn negates capitalism as the highest form of development of the productive organizational modes of society. Well, the negation of the negation experiment was run in various parts of the world through the 20th century and failed everywhere, and what we learned is that the negation of the negation is actually either collapse and then control by an oligarchy or, in other cases, Fascism. These two can be synthesized to create a negation of the negation of the negation, so to speak, that takes Communism as the theoretical ideal and “basic spirit” of historical development while utilizing Fascism as its practical mode of production, and that’s exactly what we see in China following the rise of Deng Xiaoping. It’s also exactly what we see in the West under the ESG scoring model for corporate behavior and the United Nations Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals that it services. In this important episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay makes the development of “Communism 3.0,” a Corporatist Communism for the 21st century clear. You won’t want to miss it.

Communism 3.0: Corporate Communism | James Lindsay
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyXc_LZtCEE
{New Discourses | 09 December 2024}

The EVILution of Communism Workshop, Session 4

In this fourth and final lecture in the series, Lindsay picks up the loose threads from the previous two lectures and weaves them together to describe a new Communism for the twenty-first century, a “Communism 3.0” or “Twenty-first Century Communism.” Lindsay characterizes this new model of Communism as the “Chinese model,” derived from the practical implementation by former CCP leader Deng Xiaoping in the People’s Republic of China, where it was tested first. Meanwhile, in the West, a parallel model was developed tracking not just with Deng Xiaoping Theory but also with the Western Marxist sensibilities of Herbert Marcuse, demanding a more “Sustainable” and “Inclusive” economy. Calling the model “Corporate” or “Corporatist” Communism, Lindsay explains how this model of Communism blends a Communist political theory and structure with a Fascist economic model of productive forces, creating the tyrannical hybrid that is intended to be the future for mankind both East, under the Chinese Communist Party, and West, under the United Nations and affiliates. This groundbreaking lecture provides a basis for completely changing the discourses around what’s happening in our world today.

US government takes a 10% stake in Intel

The Nationalization of Intel?
By The Editorial Board
Aug. 18, 2025

A 10% federal stake in the computer chip maker would be another dive into corporate statism.

The Trump Administration is reportedly negotiating to take a 10% stake in Intel Corp., in what would amount to a de facto nationalization of the storied but struggling semiconductor firm. Does President Trump really believe that the same government that has so mismanaged air-traffic control can turn around the chip-making giant?

News reports say the Trump team is looking to take an equity stake in Intel in return for funding for the company promised under the 2022 Chips Act. This is how industrial policy so often works in practice. Step one: Subsidize a struggling business. Step two: When subsidies aren’t enough, nationalize it. Step three: Make sure it never fails.

It has become abundantly clear that Trump fits the topic of this thread, even more so than the globalist members of the plutocracy.

Trump is different in his egotistic desire to have his face on Mt. Rushmore, and have his name remembered like a Caesar from the Roman Empire. Likewise, the Chinese (and Xi) have that same national empire desire.

The globalist plutocrats want the demise of the US as a strong nation, and have the same plans for China.

Thus, Trump is even more inclined to emulate current day China. Trump taking "golden shares" of US companies (for the US government) is just one example of the parallels with China.
