The difference is 19th century nationalism and the American System of Political Economy.
Built by Alexander Hamilton. Codified by Frederick List. Famously employed by all of the assassinated US Presidents,
A state guided economy, protective tariffs, national banking, directed credit, large scale public works.
America was founded and built on it, went to war with the Empire over it. it was Japans Meji Restoration, Tsar Alexander 2's Russia and Bismark's Germany. Even Australia had a crack with the Commonwealth Bank and original Labor.
Its why Russia sold Alaska to the US. Why Russia sent their navy to US shores in the American Civil War to keep the British and French out of fighting with the Confederates.
Its why JFK was murdered.
China practices it. Sun Yat Sen bought it to China after studying in the US. its where the Belt and Road comes from.
But the Empire is exceptional at subversion.
The battle for the future of the world is not communism vs capitalism. Its the system Empire, slavery, globalism, free trade, private banking vs a system of self governance and state directed credit that aims to lift all people.
