“He [Obama] was arguing a straightforward Marxist-Leninist class-struggle point of view, which anticipated that there would be a revolution of the working class, led by revolutionaries, who would overthrow the capitalist system and institute a new socialist government that would redistribute the wealth,” says Drew, who says he himself was then a Marxist.

So, why bother creating wealth when it will only be redistributed? Then you run out of other peoples' money to redistribute,and all but the few "glorious leaders" are equal(ly miserable).

And a country such as China can only survive as long as there is a country such as the US which uses their manufacturing base to churn out cheap goods which we in turn buy and sell. If all wealth is redistributed, we will no longer buy their goods or be willing to develop new product, so their economy will also go in the toilet.
