China's All-Seeing Eye

Politics – China today, epitomized by Shenzhen's transition from mud to megacity, represents a new way to organize society. Sometimes called market Stalinism, it is a potent hybrid of the most powerful tools of authoritarian communism - central planning, merciless repression, constant surveillance - harnessed to advance the goals of global capitalism.

this article shows all too clearly how far we have moved toward a totalitarian police state. of course it is not here yet, but all of the movement is toward it, not away.

and china, while closer, can honestly point to us as their model.

freedom is a very tenuous experience.
