Eric X. Li’s exchange with John Pilger lays it out plainly: voting in the United States is mostly political theater, a bullshit show.
Parties rotate, slogans change, new faces come and go,but the core policies stay tied to money.

Why?
Because in the US wealth runs the system.
Billionaires, lobbyists, and financial elites shape the rules, while voters are given the illusion of choice.
Real power isn’t in elections,it’s in the boardrooms.

The pattern is obvious.
Donald Trump filled his circle with billionaires, cut corporate taxes, and blurred the line between policy and business.
Meanwhile Democrats do the same thing with cleaner messaging.
Obama’s Wall Street bailout didn’t punish anyone,it protected the same financial interests that caused the whole crisis.
Different branding, same structure.

The system in the United States isn’t failing, it’s doing exactly what it was built to do: protect the top tier.

China runs a total different model.
The Communist Party doesn’t rely on campaign money or pretend elections control wealth.
Leadership stays consistent, policies shift when needed, and long-term planning actually happens.
That stability helped drive rapid industrial growth and lift massive numbers out of poverty.

And China isn’t “capitalist” in the Western sense.
Markets exist, but they don’t run the state.
Wealth is managed, not obeyed. Billionaires don’t set national direction.

So the contrast is very simple: one system claims democracy while serving wealth, the other openly prioritizes state control and focuses on outcomes.....
