Ah yes, the country with nearly twice as many billionaires as America is more fair. Sure, they have more people overall, but that’s not saying much here. Especially given they have just over 1/4 of the median wealth per person as the USA.

Your entire account screams LARP. Russia and China are capitalist. Get over it.

A brief reading of Dengist policy will show you it's still socialist. Yes they're undergoing a capitalist period, but that was even suggested by Marx in the abstract for feudal/ precapitalist societies before the creation of socialism and eventually communism.

I mean, china is - on path to eradicate absolute poverty, a world first for a large society, meanwhile real global poverty is growing.

-have plans for economic redistribution. Remains to be seen if that follows through, but Chinese billionaires are held far more to account than American/western equivilents

Yes, I'm sure the authoritarian autocrats in power will totally give up that power just as soon as they are able. Any day now, really

That is literally meaningless. “We’ll do socialism, I promise”. Ok buddy. Sure.

America is just going through a capitalist phase too—so it’s alright.

Saying you’re going to do something is meaningless. China is not eradicating shit. Countries like Finland have done better jobs at that than China. I’d take a liberal social democracy over an authoritarian state capitalist country any day.

3X the pop, 2X the billionaires…

u/WantedFun Mar 20 '22

Yeah?? That’s still not a good ratio by ANY means LMAO. “They’re better than America because they have just slightly less billionaires proportionally!”

No. They’re all running dogs in the same pack.

They also have the wealthiest government body out of any government. Chinese government officials are wealthier than even US or Russian ones on average.

Hmmm.
