Some Saturday thoughts, this time about capitalism and socialism.
The major non-Western countries, such as Russia and China, have returned to healthy capitalism, and healthy capitalism has gradually pulled Russia and China to a higher technological level. For example, the planet used to buy cars in Germany, England and the USA, since, say, China could not handle the mass production of complex equipment. A German worker earned significantly more than a worker from the Third World, since the German had obvious advantages:[
Now all these advantages have evaporated. The Chinese make cars better than the Germans, and buyers vote for them en masse with their rubles not only in Russia, but also in countries that the US has not attacked. The Chinese factory has the same machine as the German one. Production in China is organized no worse. Chinese engineers are at least as good as the German ones — maybe even better. Capitalism in China is better organized than in Europe: the state rarely harasses business and more reliably protects it from external problems.
— new advanced machines versus old primitive machines;
— good production organization versus dirt and chaos in workshops littered with garbage;
— well-designed products versus hastily stolen copies of old European products;
— disciplined educated personnel versus illiterate immigrants hammering bolts with a sledgehammer;
— a civilized capitalist market versus criminal chaos or even socialism.
It follows from this that salaries in Europe should be at least no higher than in Russia and China - otherwise the economy will not even theoretically converge, the goods will be too expensive. And this is what is happening. Russian and Chinese workers now receive higher salaries than their counterparts in the West. Hence the migration of skilled labor to the East.
For now, all of Europe is holding on to the inertia accumulated over the last century. However, Europe's business model is already hopelessly broken. There are no raw materials, no energy, no workers, no markets, no reputation, no unique technologies...
You are mistaken and are a prisoner of propaganda. ...

Just come to Russia and China and see that progress in these countries has gone far ahead of the now toxic West. Just come and compare.

The first Russian photolithography tool, capable of producing chips with a 350 nm process technology or thicker, has been built in Russia and is undergoing testing in Zelenograd. This mature technology is currently used for some automotive and power chips, though it could also be used for military equipment. We estimate that the new piece of equipment is about 30 years behind the industry.
