    I don’t believe that. Nobody gets to be a billionaire without being corrupt.

        When have they gotten elected in the US? True, Trump, who claimed to be a billionaire, though I believe that’s one more lie.

        • The President of the United States participates in the election, which is financed by capitalists. This is the embodiment of capitalists controlling the government. At first, Xi Jinping was just the secretary of the party branch of a village, and then the county magistrate, mayor, and provincial governor eventually became the chairman. That’s the difference

          What? Literally all US congressmen/women are rich, they are all at least millionaires, if not billionaires. Thats not the case in China.

      Yes, that’s why they are not in power in China. You know, that’s the difference between dictatorship of the proletariat and dictatorship of the bourgeoisie - it’s who hold the power, not who exist or not.

        In the US they don’t officially hold power. But they control the people who do.

      In China their capital has no political influence. If they they to get away with breaking the law they are actually persecuted, unlike in capitalism.
