dude i fucking hate them, every time i see jack ma's face on my timeline i want to set that deformed fetus face on fire in front of his children
we think it's a fucking tragedy that china needs a system that allows these disgusting people to exist. it leaves any dignified person with a bad taste in their mouth every time one of these maggots takes a breath.
but assuming that the chinese have to allow them to breathe, which we think just happens to be the case, then what the fuck are they supposed to do? reject reality? act emotionally and risk destroying what they've built?
there will be a time to put these people on the wall, and by god i wish i'm alive then, if only to watch and cheer at every instance of liberals crying over the "genocide". but that time isn't here yet. it just isn't.
regardless of whether you believe in the CPC or not, if they're actual marxists they won't do it right now, unless they go full stupid. and judging by the last 40 years they ain't going fucking stupid.
so for god's sake, argue about the CPC, but over something valid, like how you think they're doing wrong with their MMT, or how they're not doing enough for workers in the tech industry, or how underwhelming their health care system is. but quit the "dwah china has rich people" shit, it's void of meaning¹ :hexbear-shining:
¹ unless you're not a marxist, in that case i completely understand. but marxists aren't supposed to think reality bends to our will, we're supposed to be materialists not idealists
You can have just millionaires and not billionaires, it's not like the economy would collapse. Just tax/nationalize anybody's assets above 1 billion dollars.
But why are millionaires okay? Like if it was a growing, hypercompetitive market with no monopolies, would that really be better for workers? Of course you may counter that it need not be competitive, to which I say it will not be growing relative to the west and will be absolutely crushed by the West if it does not abide by capitalist laws of competition - plus I reckon that class of millionaires may get an itching for power, and a governing system which can't just nationalize their shit, even if this project was established and maintained
There's a reason Marx criticized the likes of Proudhon for trying to harmonize the numbers of political economy. There's a reason Marx focused his theories on the class struggle, commodity production, and the value form, not the distribution of money and moderation of markets
Post hog.
What difference do you think it would make if China specifically banned billionaires?
They would have quite a lot more revenue to spend to start off with.
Econonmic inequality would decrease by a lot which we can all agree is a good thing.
And it would prevent them from turning on party and trying to overthrow it should the government do anything that is against their interests.
