Struggle session. How the fuck is a country with billionaires legitimately Communist? I’m not a chud trying to start shit. I went along with most of the apologetics while living in the US, but I’m in HCMC now, and if this is Communism we’re living in a bizzaro world. Inequality is rampant. I lived in DC for two years and never saw a Maybach, but here I see them daily. Not to mention that there’s a 150% luxury tax on imports like that. Meanwhile, I see people digging through garbage looking for scraps to feed themselves. There’s no socialized medicine or government provided housing. I’ll admit I’m ignorant to theory, but if the theory can somehow excuse this shit, it must be more complicated than quantum physics. Not that it’s even close to the degradation the poor experience in the US (especially DC). There are no tent cities here, but the government doesn’t really do shit for the people as far as a I can tell. I imagine it’s the same in China but that’s pure speculation.

    China is a capitalist country with a communist government if that makes sense. They embraced capitalism to build power on a global stage and build up their economy and infrastructure. It was a necessary step to stop them from falling into the hands of liberalism. The party is in charge not the billionaires and that means if they truly do want to communize they can and they will.
