Become the richest tycoon in the US and you might launch your own space programme. In India, you might throw gazillion-dollar weddings for your children. In China, you might look for a way to lose your new title — and the target on your back.
The examples they used here have me
🥺
Won’t someone think of the very richest people alive?600 million dollar wedding is somehow wholesome
How does a rag even have the gall to think people that spoiled deserve a reader’s sympathy?
Frowning at the headlines and muttering about how unfair it is to tax the rich as I stuff newspapers into the crack around my front door as the weather shifts toward winter.
😭😭😭 what about the gazillion dollar wedding for their kids while they all live in one of the poorest developing nations on earth?

“let them eat cake”-ass bourgeois media
It’s like that CEO who was, in a televized event saying that workers are too “arrogant” and “We need to see pain in the economy, and raise unemployment to 50% so the workers remember who they work for”
The rich are so detached they’ll actually somehow manage to feel shocked and indignant at the “ingratitude” when they are being dragged to the wall street lamp post gallows by the organized working class.
It is also selling the rope that will be tied around said lamp posts because they have managed to become too detached to realize saying this shit out loud makes the workers sharpen their knives and this news about how China “oppressing” it’s billionaires makes US workers MORE sympathetic to socialism and China, not less.
Wow that super sucks for the one person out of billions that rose to the top. After all, their success surely didn’t come at the expense of all their workers.
Everyone hates Christian morality the nanosecond rich people face a fraction of the scrutiny lgbt people or promiscuous people face.
This is the dictatorship of the proletariat we need more of
Good
I swear I’ve seen this emoji almost 20 times and only now just realized it’s not some star trek reference I don’t understand, but that it’s a a hammer and sickle on a stringed sweatshirt; not the star fleet insignia on the federation blue uniform
noooo i was convinced it was a trek thing
you love to see itGod bless China.
no more half measures walter
This is basically telling rich people to keep a low profile and not flex.
They just can’t help it
and when they try to flex they end up like Jack Ma
jack ma dick n balls off
china locks up the rich
the us locks up the poor
Ironically, this will be why China will be better at capitalism than even the US. China is willing to put its foot down and force its porkies to behave while they still are around. Don’t feel like making jobs and devastating a generation to perpetual unemployment? Tough shit, enjoy your prison sentence.
Oh, and China actually does stuff and includes almost everyone in its economy, here in burger land employers disdain having to employ anyone at all and stick with only a skeleton crew of a tiny minority of “elite” workers while everyone else is reserve army of labor.
Marxists understand capitalism from a rational, analytical perspective. It should be no surprise that, given time, they will inevitably beat the capitalists at their own game.
In this new era, it’s dangerous to get too rich. Stories abound of the state launching investigations against this business figure or that financier.
Why is it dangerous for rich people that the state will investigate them
WHY IS IT DANGEROUS FOR RICH PEOPLE THAT THE STATE WILL INVESTIGATE THEMalso this bit
By the early 2010s, at least two tycoons had seen their net worth approach that decabillion-dollar barrier, only to land in jail on corruption charges instead. That is not to say the charges were baseless, only that the choice of targets did appear to reflect a lingering, levelling tendency among China’s leaders.
- : “People with the most capacity to do harm are looked at with more suspicion?!?! HoW aUtHoRiTaRiAn! WhAt Is ThIs WoRlD cOmInG to?!?”
Funny how investigating high profile crime is political but targeting petty crimes commited by impoverished minorities is perceived as apolitical
it’s very revealing isn’t it
: “Nothing to hide nothing to fear!”: “FOR POOR PEOPLE! FOR POOR PEOPLE!”
Xi i am begging you to become the nightmare of the capitalist powers
problem?
