??? Governments of any kind (imperialist, dictatorial, communist, socialist, or capitalist) that fail to harmonize or satisfy society, are eventually replaced or overthrown -- either by revolutions or elections.

??? I first presented this graphic in my book "THINK FUTURE" (2021), but it is a forecasting principle that I have applied in my work for decades. And it is born out by events in all kinds of countries and governments.

??? If people are not satisfied, at least economically, they will cause unrest of various kinds.

??? One major example is what happened in China in Mao’s last decade and his stupid “Cultural Revolution”. If nothing had been done, the Chinese Government would have been completely toppled. As it was, it was greatly reformed and in fact is no longer "communist".

??? Fortunately, Deng Xiaoping was brought back in to govern society by Zhao Enlai, Mao's premier. In prior years, Deng had been thrown out of the Party and labelled a "Capitalist Roader", which was basically true, as we shall see. But he was an excellent administrator and that is why Zhao brought him back in, in 1976.

??? In turn, Deng literally toppled (in effect) not the Party but its outdated and useless communist manifesto. And, over time, this was rapidly greeted with exuberance by the entire population.

??? He pronounced that China would modernize by following what he called “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics,” meaning that Marxism was gone. He said that "It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice." (referring to capitalism and communism). He also said that "socialism is not poverty" and that "some people and places will get rich before others." As such, the new China was born.

??? Today, China is no longer “Communist,” despite the outdated name of the ruling Party. It has a Socialist Market Economy, driven by the innate entrepreneurialism of the Chinese population. In this way, the economy is also designed to meet “social needs,” and 1.4 billion people have been lifted out of abject poverty. Today, China has numerous billionaires and millionaires.

??? In the last 45 years since Deng's reform began, the Chinese miracle is obvious to those who care to seriously become informed about it. Today, China leads the world in infrastructure development and every field of innovation.

??? Now, the recent US election is NOT comparable to what happened in China. But it could be comparable in the exact opposite way -- if Trump were to decide to become a Dictator.

??? Sure, there are many things that need fixing in America, but the key to his success will be whether he harmonizes society and brings sustained prosperity for all, not just the rich.

??? Otherwise, in a worst-case scenario, there could be major civil unrest, potentially leading to a civil war.

??? But if he does in fact become a true Dictator then, frankly speaking, there will need to be a “coup d’etat” if America is to endure as a free society.

??? What are your thoughts on this?
