Won’t change their mind but what the hell, it’s cathartic.

    I wouldn’t even call China communist, that’s giving their propaganda too much credit. At most it’s a dictatorship in a red trench coat

      I don’t understand why they would be. There are two definitions of communism I see people use. Marx was talking about a society where the workers were in charge. Who in their leadership was ever something like a factory worker? I’m seeing a lot of people who got degrees and moved to comfy government jobs right out of college. Their families maybe. A lot went on “worker peasant student” grants. I can use words too, but I don’t see many working the mines themselves. Especially after being in government for so long. When is the last time one of these suits picked up a pitchfork? But then the other definition seems disingenuous to me, because I almost always hear it from the right. It’s " when guberment ".
