    The USA stands a like 1,000% higher chance of descending into fascism than China ever will.

    Only because the Chinese government is focused on the material needs of its residents in an effort to run an efficient economy. Meanwhile the US oligarchs stuff their faces with a generation's worth of seed corn, then order their media flaks to blame populism for the subsequent famine.

    If the CCP's leadership ever starts drinking from the neoliberal kool-aid jar (as they very nearly did with Bo Xilai), it could very easily topple into American-tier hyper-nationalism and fascist militarism.
