That is the problem with the habit of Liberals to frequently redefine words like dictatorship to suit their political agenda. The Liberals claim that success in a Communist country means that the Communist country is now “Capitalist” even as they oppose the “Capitalism” in that Communist country. Likewise, the Liberals claim that failed Capitalist countries like US in 1930s are “Socialists” even as they seek to implement the policies and ideologies of the failed Capitalist countries. The recent Neo-Liberal practice of Pax Americana is to claim that Capitalism is against government intervention into the market to gain support for “Capitalism” and then redefine Capitalism to mean plutocratic command economy to implement “Capitalism”. Anyway, the election of Donald Trump should be destroying the free riders of Pax Americana and allowing the former European colonies to gain real development in human rights and economic prosperity.
