  1. The new realities? Hardly new... America; Israel and Turkey have backed Muslim fundamentalists to overthrow the Syrian government; Israel grabbed some land; America gets to keep it's troops occupying the oil fields and the country is likely to go the same way as Libya (a Muslim state under Sharia law). Turkey seems to have angered Russia and China, so probably won't get into BRICS; while again we get to see American double-standards as they back someone they previously put a bounty on. So Allahu Ackbar... another regime change.

  2. The Chinese single-party government might be described as Communist and while there are private-sector companies (some receiving state-subsidy) in China; in a centrally planned economy, they don't lobby and won't argue with the government (but state-subsidized, private sector industry isn't exactly capitalism or socialism). The Russian government is Socialist (a multiparty democracy, although one big party dominates). It's also a centrally planned economy where the state owns and operates the state-sector industry and also owns the land. Private-sector companies can lease land; but tend not to be state-subsidized, as long as they keep out of politics, no problem. The American government, is two big right-wing parties and two small parties; they largely depend on corporate sponsors so tend towards the f word; the private-sector corporations can own land; sometimes get to put their interests before the national interest and divert public money (they don't give political donations because they are charitable). The UK government used to be two main parties: one socialist Labour to "the left"; one capitalist Tory to "the right"; with a smaller central party (the Liberals); but in recent years it has become similar to the American model, with one party "New Labour" calling itself "the left" simply to occupy the political spectrum. so a lot of people don't vote now (40%) The EU is an unelected body; that has to get 27 countries to agree (assuming none veto); it started as a "common market" (for goods); then a currency union; then free movement of people (like the US of A) and has now become authoritarian, where the rich countries tend to exploit the poorer (so already signed up to globalism). Not f or c, just self serving... Hope that helps.... In WW2 Mussolini and Putin would be shooting at each other (because they are ideologically opposed). It's not Putin at war; it's Russia (by committee decision).
