  1. And also nepotism.

  2.  @zechen4009  Or the well-connected ones.
    8
  3. Who cares? They all had privileged upbringings.
    2
  4. And nepotism.
    2
  5. You mean if human rights were valued at all as China is a collectivist culture and the individual is at its mercy.
    2
  6. It is. In communism, government officials are the rich.
    2
  7. Namely their own countrymen.

  8.  fane babanu  LMAO. Indeed.
    1
  9. You hate the rich, because you ain't the rich!
    1
  10. Are you comparing ordinary Americans to the well-connected Chinese?
    1
  11.  @EclecticoIconoclasta  That's because Africa and Latin America are fresh off of their failed socialist experiments that set them back decades.
    1
  12. It's the legacy that Mao's Cultural Revolution left behind.
    1
  13.  @VicMansaMusa  China doesn't allow freedom of individual thought. It figures.
    1
  14.  @goliaboi  They are rich, because they have connections with the CCP. China has a state-controlled economy. Private enterprise barely exists.
    1
  15. But in all fairness, the poor don't know how to handle money as they would have blown it all on BS and within a month cry about being broke and hungry.
    1
  16. Said a guy who came from privilege like many other communists of his ilk.
    1
  17. It is. Rich communists/socialists are not that hard to find. Castro, Chavez, Mugabe, Dos Santos, Ceausescu, etc.
    1
  18. Hardly. Socialism usually implodes on its own with the socialists being the new ruling class oppressors.
    1
  19. Care to name one successful matriarchy?
    1
  20. Or made it thanks to their government connections.
    1
  21.  @gkdom1839  Social democrat = socialist. After all, that term was coined by an actual communist named Vladimir Lenin.
    1
  22. Not really. The US rich are largely ordinary people. The Chinese rich are CCP lackeys and affiliates.
    1
  23.  @coopsnz1  And the workers have virtually no rights.
    1
  24. The LOX and 50 Cent. LMAO
    1
  25. Translation: he's just purging his political enemies and liabilities.
    1
  26. Meh. Marx was the original limousine liberal.
    1
  27. Mao was rich in his heyday.
    1
  28. Communism did away with Confucius.
    1
  29. They're right. Everyone is equal.... under the government's jackboot, that is.
    1
  30. How many of those Chinese are ordinary people as opposed to government lackeys?
    1
  31. This is socialism. A lot of its practitioners made a fortune off of kickbacks, exploiting the very same workers they so claimed to have solidarity with, using the treasury and resources as their personal piggy-bank, etc.
    1
  32.  @resdyne9590  Workers as in ordinary folks or government bureaucrats as often practiced in every other socialist regime? And all that will cost is your freedom and self-determination lending itself to government tyranny.
    1
  33.  @resdyne9590  But the USSR was an imperialist power despite being restricted to land invasions. <Every so called "socialist" regime was a failed attempt of socialism for varying reasons and were merely state capitalist and authoritarian in order to defend themselves against other imperialist powers.> Like Eastern Europe against the USSR? Mongolia against the USSR and China? Cambodia against fellow socialist Vietnam?
    1
  34. OH YES IT IS! Prosperity for the government and the well-connected. Poverty for everyone else. The 1% vs. 99% in practice.
    1
  35.  @PainandMotivation  Same difference as evidenced by Zimbabwe and Venezuela.
    1
  36. Namely CCP cock.
    1
  37. Not to Castro, Chavez or Ceausescu.
    1
  38. When they all but completely collapsed.
    1
  39.  @easilyconfuseddinosaur901  And their failed invasion of Afghanistan to spread revolution didn't help matters.
    1
  40.  yagbos  Exactly. Marx was born wealthy and lived most of his adult life like a welfare bum. Both foreign and especially domestic.
    1
  41. But communists are hypocrites. Capitalist decadence is only bad for ordinary citizens, yet perfectly fine for themselves.
    1
  42. Most of China's "private" companies are state-owned.
    1
  43. And connections.
    1
  44. Nah. Thanks to Deng Xiaoping and Bill Clinton.
    1
  45. The socialist system have always been everyone shares in the poverty and misery while the rulers and the well-connected get the wealth. What you're seeing with China is standard socialist fare.
    1
  46. The state controls most of the economy. The only rich people are government elites and affiliates who own nearly all of the major businesses.
    1
  47. Because they are commodities? There's a reason why they're spared while men are disposed of.
    1
  48. And power.
    1
  49.  MusicViking Viking  Communism = dictatorship.
    1
  50.  MusicViking Viking  But I do remember the numerous amount of countries that were ran into the ground by communism/socialism.
    1
  51.  @m.m9769  The same Bernie Sanders who once praised the likes of Daniel Ortega?
    1
  52.  @bakingsoda9769  Or blame it on the US/West.
    1
  53. LOL. Its communist roots killed 45-80 million little people it claimed to look out for not to mention China was a complete basket-case.
    1
  54.  @mikephilips6905  A state-run private sector.
    1
  55. Mao lived the luxury life while letting some 80 million of his own countrymen starve to death.
    1
  56. Hardly. The majority of these billionaires are well-connected CCP lackeys.
    1
  57. Namely for the ruling class and the well-connected.
    1
  58. Sorry. It is.
    1
  59. They didn't pervert communism. This is communism from the start as made by an upper-class malcontent who live most of his adult life like a bottom-feeder.
    1
  60.  @riotdrone  Marx lived in poverty, because he refused to get a job preferring to live off of others such as Engels and his uncle. He even allowed his own family to starve. Ditto for his maid and kid. He wasn't a class traitor. He was a virtue-signalling wolf in sheep's clothing like most communist leaders. The original limousine liberal/champagne socialist.
    1
  61.  @riotdrone  LOL. And yet somehow Engels struggled mightily to find anything good to say about Marx at his funeral.
    1
  62. But capitalism seldom needed that right environment to work properly. The black market, prostitution, etc. are testament to that.
    1
  63. No. Just government officials and the well-connected.
    1
  64. You know that a lot of them have ties with the Chinese Communist Party, right?
    1
  65. China is still socialist and a dictatorship.
    1
  66. It does. Just among government elites and affiliates, though.
    1
  67. Exactly.
    1
  68. It wasn't that long ago China was a basket-case.
    1
  69. Exactly.
    1
  70. Very much which is part of what makes socialism unsustainable. Dependency.
    1
  71. The same way Karl Marx did, claiming solidarity with the workers but grew up upper-class.
    1
  72. Communists are capitalism's biggest beneficiaries.
    1
  73. It's because they're CCP stooges.
    1
  74. Like always.
    1
  75. Only because college costs in Canada are taxpayer-subsidized. And yet in spite of all that, USA still have better colleges.
    1
  76.  @alexco6742  But in America you have a better chance of putting it to good use living up to your potential.
    1
  77. This is socialism. When yesterday's freedom-fighters, liberators and revolutionaries become today's oppressors and oligarchy.
    1
  78. They don't owe the world anything.
    1
  79. Chavez died a billionaire.
    1
  80. And their hate for ordinary workers enjoying some of its benefits.
    1
  81. It's just standard communist fare.
    1
  82. Yet socialist leaders like Mao, Castro, Mugabe and Chavez had no problem amassing a fortune for themselves before they died.
    1
  83. China is not an English-speaking country.
    1
  84.  @quinton-ashley  It's a communist government that adopted capitalism for economic relevance.
    1
  85. William Jefferson Clinton.
    1
  86. Enabled by Nixon and Clinton.
    1
  87. Most of China's private enterprises are owned by tycoons with ties to the ruling government if they're not already card-carrying members.
    1
  88. And yet like China's billionaires, Europe's billionaires are from the privileged and well-connected in society.
    1
  89. Social control.
    1
  90. And certainly never without wholesale suppression of the individual and his/her freedom of thought, speech, movement, assembly and association, etc.
    1
  91. Muslims and communists. The bane of the West's existence.
    1
  92. Same difference!
    1
  93. Exactly.
    1
  94. Simple. He's among the well-connected and privileged. Communism/socialism = distribute the bare minimum equally among the people while those who control the resources to distribute become the default ruling class.
    1
  95. Isn't this the "world without religion" that Atheists advocate for?
    1
  96. You prefer the world to be one big Haiti?
    1
  97. Namely for the government and the well-connected.
    1
  98. It is.
