a dictatorship, masquerading as a democracy This seems to be the world wide trend. Controlled free enterprise the follows what Musolini started. A Fascist economic system.o The Chinese system is probably best described as a Benevolent Oligarchy - we could call them CINO's -- Communists In Name Only. If you think of it, what is our modern bureaucratic state? With all the many millions of pages of regulations, our government probably has more control over the economy than the Chinese so-called Commies. Hegel - whom, as I recall, you don't like much - after giving it a lot of thought, concluded that the best possible political system is Benevolent Dictatorship. But... he was working during the late 18th and the first few decades of the 19th century... the world has changed since then. en.m.wikipedia.org
