China goes capitalist

[Max Sawicky]

That's not what I hear.  Amnesty Int'l says in 1999 China
executed over a thousand, the U.S. 98, though in the case
of the PRC, as Kathleen Turner says in Prizzi's Honor,
it's not so much as a proportion of the population.

More delicious to me is the bit about the share of the economy
that is no longer socialized.  Suppose it proved to be the
case that the PRC had a higher share in private hands than,
say, some of the Nordic countries.  Where does that leave
the case for indifference to bourgeois democratic norms,
for the sake of greater economic whatever?  Carrol?
CB?  Yoshie (if you're not in jail)?

They don't execute more people than your lot do, do they?
