Today it seems that we are all capitalists now , global capitalists at that .

Even China is included, even though it is still labelled as a Communist state . Why I don't know . Granted it is still totalitarian , but the gap between the rich and poor is growing , and its economy is going at break-neck speed down the capitalist road .

As someone has said : " We are all in it together ."
