This article then offers the U.S. and WEAST a 6 Step "Commulism Response Framework (CRF)" or “Counter-Commulism Framework (CCF)” to do just that.
Commulism Response Framework (CRF) - Objective: The CRF/CCF is built upon the premise that if any or all of the 5 Commulism Pillars can be removed or substantively weakened, Commulism will stifle and/or topple. Here then is a baseline plan for the White House/DOD/State Department to enact and build upon to “attack each of the 5 Commulism Pillars” to make that happen.
That Framework, outlined below, leads off with the AWARENESS issue, followed by sequential categorical action (counter) steps addressing/attacking each Pillar in the Commulism 5 Pillar Structure Model:
Economic/Military/Social/Technology/Partnerships
1) U.S./WEAST AWARENESS:
A) (Formally) Acknowledge what’s happening – To the point, the term “COMMULISM” (COMMUnism fueled by CapitaLISM) has NEVER even been annunciated by the public, media or political establishments.
Recognize Communism is indeed not dead. Rather, it is alive and well, having virulently and vibrantly evolved, noting ALL the intents and complexities of the new Commulist agenda and game plan.
B) Corporations/Politicians/Individuals Recognize and Avoid Chinese PR Exploitation Opportunities (e.g. recent Warren Buffett China visit) – The State Department to develop Q&A and appearance protocols/briefings for key public and private sector leaders.
This means all major political, financial and corporate leaders should be thoroughly briefed as to what to expect when visiting China or speaking on China. That is to recognize and be aware that whatever they say may be leveraged to China’s (and Commulism) benefit, and correspondingly potentially detrimental to U.S./WEST national security. A simple go/no-go test before answering or agreeing to appear at any public event should be enacted – “Can the Chinese PR machine benefit from this answer or this appearance?” If the answer is yes, that response and/or appearance should be prudently reconsidered and/or declined.
Analyst Notes:
a) A great opportunity here for one of the many Presidential candidates in either party or Independents like Mike Bloomberg, to emerge from the pack by being the first to publicly and substantively recognize, broach and actually annunciate the (term) “Commulism” issue to the American people.
The “court of (U.S.) public opinion” needs to be all over this. Unfortunately, it’s yet to convene. It’s time for one of these Presidential candidates to drop the gavel and put court in session.
b) Part of the awareness problem is the U.S. government being totally bogged down and distracted in Iraq. It’s important it get out of those weeds and begin taking an elevated look at the overall global geo-political situation and clearly identify where the major threats are and will be coming from. In doing so, the U.S. will then see the biggest threat to its national security is economic survival, i.e. superpower China and its rise. That ending the Iraq conflict, coupled with a refocus instead on China and redirection of the annual $100 billion Iraq budget to invest in thwarting Commulism, is an absolute imperative.
Many demand the U.S. get out of Iraq, yet offer nothing in the way of ideas or plans to consider, debate and act upon. Therefore, considering that prudently and promptly addressing the Iraq problem helps the U.S. begin to recognize and address the Commulism threat by quickly changing the U.S. geo-political focus to where it should be - China, a concerted effort to identify a sensible and honorable Iraq Exit Strategy Plan for consideration and debate should be mounted. The Republican Surge is not the long term answer nor is the Democrats arbitrary withdrawal timeline. A real, comprehensive solution is needed.
The point here is to put pressure on the U.S. government to substantively seek out new Iraq Exit Strategy alternatives, thereby helping expedite its shift in focus to Commulism. The current 2 “Party Plans” are built upon respective political partisanship and therefore not created in a free thinking “what’s best for the country” approach. The specifics of any new plan are not the purpose of this article. However, challenging the U.S. government and security community to open up and aggressively seek out thoughtful alternatives for consideration from all corners of strategic thinking is – and the need to do it FAST.
