That's how they got it under perfect control, their aim is to cripple western economies which they have successfully done. The WHO are corrupted by Chinese officials and funding.

The idea of having another go at USSR-style central planning doesn't appeal to me or pretty much anybody else. Ultra-long-term, as automation takes over, perhaps central planning will be necessary, but it will literally kill the left's chances of doing anything if we puritanically reject market socialism now when it's so needed.

Great interview! I notice that a lot of philosophers and politicians, when asked to comment on current affairs, kind of repeat the same things and not in a random order, but in a very well structured way with even the same jokes and examples that lead to a conclusion. It looks like their speach follows a narrative they have constructed and use as a base. Does anybody know if this method/way of evaluating and talking about current afairs has a specific scientific name? Is it some kind of process jurnalists or philosophers follow or just a random thing I noticed?
