Property developer and CEO Tim Gurner: "We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around."

You got the money for that? They tried it back in thr 70s. The banks froze them out and bought their assets on the cheap after the sabotaging

You will have to bootstrap it.

No, we can just wait for America to fail and let China do it.

Yes, let's also outsource the revolution.

Will China take over America? If not, why would China change the economic system in the West? Without the petrodollar, there should just be significantly less resources available.

Yeah, eventually. Resources would stay the same. Money is fake. That would have no reason to change anything.

Money is not fake in international trade. Resources can be delivered to other countries.

Resources are real, but many doesn't correctly correlate with resources. Look at all the times everything has fallen appart when they try to use money for stuff and people realize that. Look at 08, look at the current covid depression.
