As for Graccvhs, it is a common remark in the sphere of economics that one wants to maintain a "trade balance" or if anything export more than one imports- the US hasn't done this since 1967 (and for a short time a few years later).
what care have i for the bourgeois economy? none, care about trade only matters when it is in a proletarian state surrounded by imperialism, thus yes, china should trade, but in the interests of its proletariat, though bureaucratic mismanagement is not going to allow that. so if there were a proletarian political revolition in china, it would not completly collectivise everything, that would be autarky- that is: socialism in one country. but it would collectivise all that needs to be collectivised, and everything else would be organised in the interests of the working class.
that is what lenin attemted to do with the NEP.

Also, rather than saying "our" to mean american would you prefer for me to say "The American" as obviously my use of language denotes my "social chauvenism".
of course i would, but only if you mean it that way. if you do see it as 'our' or 'your's'(collective sence) then i would prefer you say it that way.
as scientific socialists, we must use as scientific and defenite use of language as possible.

but we would have to force business out through taxes and buy them out physically because the bourgeois will never surrender these things- and any war for them would be more akin to genocide (as any stock holder would become infinitely powerful if all the other stock holders were killed off).
so then you oppose the proletarian answer to this problem, that is, groups of armed workers, red guards, if you will, occupying the biggest factories and farms, and having central planning to organise it?
what you suggest is more what is nessessary in the rural areas of peasant dominated states: reference the peasant question in france and germany about this.
anyway, what is wrong with killing a few capitalists if the need is there? as i always say, i would prefer to not have to, but i doubt that possibility.
