No, I don't expect Wal-mart to do anything differently. As you point out, we enjoy the fruits of unregulated capitalism. So there is no law preventing Wal-Mart and other chain retailers from destroying Americas manufacturing base. There is no law preventing the banks from selling America lock stock and barrel to the Communists. They have the money after all, and we don't.
You seem to think that the Chinese will somehow want to float the Yuan rather than peg it to the dollar. Why? Because you want it to? They don't. They're quite happy with the arrangement. So is the Oligarchy in this country. After all, if Wal-mart is as expensive as Nordstroms, then Wal-mart fails. Additionally, the lack of real wage growth for the poor and middle class of American these past 30 years means that if this were to ever happen, the middle class would largely be wiped out. Think Brazil or Argentina as your future ( coming sooner than you think ).
"The Capitalists will furnish credits which will serve us for the support of the Communist Party in their countries and, by supplying us materials and technical equiptment which we lack, will restore our military industry necessary for our future attacks against our suppliers. To put it in other words, they will work on the preparation of their own suicide" - Vladimir Ilich Lenin
You write, "As for Ayn Rand, she would detest the Chinese system for it authoritarianism, corruption, cronyism, and ineptitude. But the U.S. made a deal with the devil.." Yet this system is roundly kicking our Capitalist asses. Really, I think you should apply all those adjectives closer to home. You've been conscious this last decade, yes? And who is the America you refer to, who has made a deal with the devil? You mean Wal-mart? General Electric? Disney? This America you speak of is a fiction John, the corporations are the reality. If it looks like feudal serfdom, well then...maybe it is.
Comrade Wal-Mart
