When you have China AND North Korea on your side, you know something has gone horribly wrong.  But this is now the claim to fame of the Occupy Wall Street children.  The Wall Street Journal reports …

 North Korea’s state news agency weighed in on the Occupy Wall Street protests Thursday, highlighting the “stern judgment” of “millions of people” against a capitalist system that “brings exploitation, oppression, unemployment and poverty to the popular masses.” …

 With no apparent sense of irony, The Korean Central News Agency says that in capitalist society “1% of privileged class is granted all preferential treatment while 99% of working masses are forced into poverty and death.” …

 In the final few paragraphs, the report appears to start channeling Karl Marx in predicting the decline and ultimate fall of the “exploiting class” under the weight of “the socio-class contradiction of capitalism.”

 “The end of capitalism is one of inevitabilities of history,” it signs off.

 The Chinese and the North Koreans and many other nations around this world are just itching with excitement at the thought of the United States fading as an economic superpower.  And the amazing part is … we are doing it to ourselves.  That’s what makes this all so tragic.  We elected a community organizer to be the President of the United States at a time when our economy was on some serious life support.  Instead of letting Americans do what they do best, Barack Obama’s go-to response was to increase the size and scope of government and oppress the private sector with regulations, failed Keynesian stimulus plans and more deficit spending.
