  1.  @angelainamarie9656  Every communist country has total totalitarianism. Human nature being what it is, if everyone gets the same benefits, regardless of the work they do, they won't work. So, to make sure there is any production, the workers are treated like slaves, told what education they will get and what job they will work at. That is exactly the opposite of what Republicans desire. They want motivation to come from wages, so much so that they want to get rid of any safety net. Republican philosophy has its faults, but will never lead to a state like communist China. The only place communism ever worked was in Israeli kibbutzim, and even there, it would not have worked without huge amounts of volunteer labor and generous tax breaks from the government.

  2.  @gatorrade1680  You would like the way Jordan enforced their lockdown, shoot dead anyone caught out of their home.

  3.  @crapObear2323  You think that you can redefine the meaning of a word, like Humpty Dumpty? You're wrong. All enterprise is controlled by the state, which does not happen in capitalist countries. In a truly capitalist country, enterprise controls the state, not the other way around. Mainland China has a communist government, one party that controls everything. They have experimented with limited capitalism, with strict governmental overview, to bring in money, but remain a totalitarian communist country, governed by the communist party, where there is no freedom. They are, and without revolution will remain, a communist country.

  4. You don't have to believe the fiction, that this virus came out of a lab, to be upset with the Chinese government. The very fact that they allowed wet markets to continue, with trafficked endangered animals, after the SARS outbreak, is reason enough to blame them for this pandemic.
