This has led the U.S. government and American politicians to pursue policies grounded in repression and exclusion, mirroring the authoritarian system that they seek to combat.

But collectively they are yielding a United States that is fundamentally more closed — and more like China in meaningful ways.

How about you stop worrying about how much we are literally doing 1984 and build some high speed rail? Or some new housing? Now that would be more like China in a "meaningful way."

My standards are getting lower for which neoliberals deserve to be put in the ground during/after the revolution.

It's never our fault, it's always their fault.
