    The capitalist class created Yeltsin in the USSR, it's genuinely hard if not impossible to prevent opportunists from accumulating wealth and gaining power without abolishing money.

    It's a better set of incentives to let them get rich out in the open away from political power as much as possible (i.e Jack Ma) than to make joining the party the way to get and hoard treats (Yeltsin, Gorbachev).
