Well, what did they expect? It’s still Communist China after all.

Good perspective, dangus. As I read the story, I didn’t realized this bias, but you’re right.

Perhaps this story was posted to draw a parallel with the Leftist heroes of the world like Jim AccostHer who cheapen and usurp real public discourse, and turn it into a shouting match in the name of free speech.

Seems to me there were plenty of those Party Faithful who operated in Pol Pot’s and Mao’s murderous regimes.

CNN (and AT&T its see-no-evil parent) are enemies of We the People.

Getting a firsthand education in real communism vs. the rosy view their educators give them.

Communism, as practiced in dictatorships, is basically a totalitarian version of absolute monarchy. It was always understood that in an absolute monarchy, the individual had private property rights, but these were subject to change in a time of national emergency, and individuals who revolted against the crown ran the risk of losing their lands, in addition to their lives. Even in a reformed (from an economic standpoint) communist dictatorship like China, private property can be seized by the state (in practical terms, the party leader and his minions in the party, an aristocracy in all but name) for any or no reason whatsoever. It is basically an absolute monarchy where the party leader owns the entire country, making him both wealthier and more powerful than the emperors of yore.
