Why Communists Are The Richest People In The World
Why Communists Are The Richest People In The World
Modern China is a communist society and despite having completely contradictory ideology and policies to the US, which is obsessed with money and billionaire worship, the people of China have more of it and they have a population that can actually benefit from the wealth they produce instead of the single person who owns the property.
A wealthy society is created through good administration and care for the masses which will allow them to achieve their potential which makes their labor even more valuable through things such as education and skills. Every person who is homeless or in prison is one less person who could be participating in the economy. Despite this, the bourgeois regime here in the US throws people in jail to profit off of their forced labor and leaves people homeless to inflate the prices of homes. It is impossible for a society to genuinely say it is wealthy when it is under a poor corrupt administration and the majority of the people are put into desperation by deliberate social policies that prevent them from being able to survive and makes them into serfs through debt and landlordism.
What we see in China is the wealth that can be brought through good administration. This would be present in the DPRK and Cuba as well, but keep in mind those nations are literally war zones being genocided by the US and other imperialists. Marxism-Leninism to this day is the most advanced political ideology in the world. The difference between Marxism-Leninism and modern capitalism is the difference between feudalism and a modern republic. Marxism-Leninism is the next stage that is inevitable. It is a more futuristic and modern ideology than what the US has. For this reason when you talk to liberals who support the regime you will literally hear similar arguments as those living in modern monarchies and theocracies. “It’s always been like this.” “Monarchy isn’t going anywhere.” “Not having a king is idealist.” These people genuinely cannot imagine advancing to the next system of government and the increased freedom, opportunities, and development that would come with that because they’ve been conditioned to love their oppressor and try to advance under a caste system rather than resist it.
The reason I bring this up is because so many communists see wealth or money as incomparable with communism. When you are associating wealth with capitalism, you are actually falling for the propaganda that capitalist society produces wealth and communism does not. The entire bourgeois dictatorship world is a slum for anyone who is not a bourgeois. In reality, the corruption and poverty we see in the United States are the direct product of private ownership and decades of corruption, poor administration, and in many cases even direct genocide of certain groups of people. When you think of money or wealth, we should all be thinking of Yuan. I bring this up because I notice when the topic comes up about wealth, so many communists think it’s evil or immoral. Wealth is not inherently good or bad, but the absence of wealth is an issue that is deliberately made to get people in bourgeois regimes to work for pennies.
When you understand that socialists and communists who take the time to plan economies and care for the citizenry of their nations, the wealth of China can also become yours. It was never a competition of money that one person can hoard, it was a competition of the functioning of society and the standard of living for every member of that society. For this reason those under bourgeois dictatorships know nothing except poverty, homelessness, and the very idea of becoming wealthy is associated in their minds of becoming those class enemies that look over society and use their wealth to oppress the masses.
