You know what happens when an entire nation is exposed to luxurious lifestyles of an extremely wealthy minority?
Revolution. Revolution happens.
Chinese politicians know this fact too well, that’s why they’re trying to make rich people hide their wealth.
I mean actually fixing the problem is out of the question, that would be communism.you and me are probably exposed to extreme luxury from a minority, but revolution aint happening anywhere rn
Yup. And for me the reason is I don’t see rich people as a threat to me.
have you been living under a rock?
Communism wouldn’t fix much, and it would only be a temporary fix. It doesn’t work well at a larger scale which is why every country that has tried it has either fallen apart or turned into a dictatorship.
We’re better off finding the proper balance between capitalism and socialism until someone comes up with a better system that actually works.
I mean most houses crumble when you hit em with a tornado but were still building houses.
What i mean to say is I think we can agree there’s enough noise in most previous communism attempts, making them pretty shitty data to base your hypothesis off off
Communism is a house that crumbles on its own, fast, while producing tornadoes that take down other houses in the process.
Fun analogy but uh that’s not all that scientific my guy.
Give me 5 min and I’ll draw communism as Chad then you’ll be fucked
Which Communist government existed in a world where othet countries didn’t actively sabotage it?

They also want the same thing.
Idk. That exposure happens here, and it mostly makes people go into debt trying to emulate the appearance of wealth.
China really doesn’t want to have the discussion that its economy is more unequal than the EU’s.
inb4 tankies screaming that this is a good thing, actually.
Hahaha they’re so predictable
Transparency and knowledge are capitalist myths. The only way forward is mass manipulation and the destruction of freedom.
Destruction of freedom? What freedom? They already are slaves of the big corporate elite machine lizards!

China is “communist” in the same way NK is “democratic”. It’s just branding.
Communism is when China does anything… Especially capitalism!
Communism is when wealth disparity
Yea. They want it to be communism. But communism never worked.
Capitalism only works in theory in practice it’s all homeless encampments, people going hungry, wealth inequality, gender inequality, race inequality, global inequality, climate disaster, war.
Capitalism has never worked
A balance between capitalism and socialism is what most countries are already using and has worked for a long time.
Communism is the one that only works in theory and anywhere it has been tried has quickly led to dictatorships or else it has fallen apart.
Edit: what most countries are using (not every country)
Social programs and social welfare aren’t really balancing socialism with capitalism, the means of production is fully owned by capitalists and there is no democratization of it. Sure we have some coops but the vast majority of workplaces are dictatorships
Yes workplaces are communist dictatorships. There’s one key difference between a workplace that is a communist dictatorship and a country that is one: you’re at that workplace by your own consent and you can leave.
Communism is okay when people can choose it willingly and opt out any time. When that communist system is competing with other communist systems for resources.
Also, the means of production are largely owned by workers in the United States, given how many companies offer stock to their employees, and how many people work for themselves, and how many people use their own tools, cars, computers, and kitchens to earn money.
China has never experienced a Renaissance, so it will never be civilized
