Whereas a communist system cannot support itself, fully operational capitalism is so strong it can afford to feed a giant parasite that grows larger even than the host.

I'm not terribly educated on outsourcing and overseas business stuff, but it always seemed wrong to me that it we would allow our businesses to use labor in countries that pay literally slave wages.
And yes, I know that they get paid relatively more than they would without U.S. business, and that the poor are less poor because of that. But it still seemed wrong. I'm glad Trump is fighting against China & their influence.
My exact thoughts have been: we outlawed slavery here, and mandated that wages below a certain threshold are wrong for our own country. So why then is it ok to ignore our own standards when we're in another country? Why would we allow that?
"U.S. Business: Oh, I can't pay slave wages here in the USA? Darn. Oh I can pay slave wages in China? Sweet, sounds good!" (slave wages in this context being defined as anything less than what U.S. law allows workers to be paid in its own country).
