these are the people that would be sitting in one of those shark tank shows in the west. filthy parasites.
When they should be sitting in an actual shark tank.
Now thats a show i would watch!
Shark tank but instead of billionaries investing to become ever richer, they get thrown in a tank full of hungry sharks that haven't eaten in a week
Thats a show i would pay to watch
Had to look that up, at first I thought it's an actual thing rich people do, going to watch sharks in a tank lol. Wouldn't surprise me one bit, given their fondness for horse races and unnecessary subjugation in general
Its a real show unfortunely and i mention it because it features parasites like Mark cuban and kevin oleary, people that made money selling vaporware during the dot com bubble.
Comrade, there is a Chinese version of Shark Tank called "Dragon's Den".
合伙中国人 is the spinoff name in China.
We should not delude ourselves that DOTPs are immune to the influence of capital.
This is ultimately the thing that makes me trust that the Chinese government isn't fundamentally captured by capital like the west is.
The difference between a DOTP and a DOTB illustrated. This would never happen in the USA or an EU state for example.
Mentioned this to a liberal before, they said it's proof China is a dictatorship 🤷🤷
He was correct:
Libs will read that quote and go "people's democratic dictatorship?? Literally Orwellian doublethink war is peace omg 1984".
What did you expect from a liberal? They instinctually hate democracy and wealth redistribution (despite what they say).
For real, it's such a vague retort that I just changed topics afterwards, because I didn't even know where to start. Whose dictatorship over who? Why are you opposed to this? What does the opposite situation say about countries like the US and why is that good if this is bad?
It's so ingrained in their mind they'll always give a knee-jerk response like this so they don't have to go through the pain of challenging their worldview (instead it seems they'd rather choose the pain of continually worsening exploitation and living standards)
Now do the West.
"Moreover, over the same period (2021-2024), the wealth of U.S. billionaires INCREASED by 26%, from $4.5 trillion to $5.7 trillion."
China is going after someone flaunting luxe items on social media.
Yet Maoists still claim that China is state capitalist
Well, they are "state capitalist". What ultras don't understand is that "state capitalism" under the dictatorship of the proletariat is just another way of saying socialism. Lenin actually talked about this.
