“ So then, does that mean that Freepers are Republicans and as such are in favor of slave labor.?”
And some people say there is no such thing as a stupid question.
Tell you what, read your tag line and then read the Constitution. You obviously haven’t.
“ Looting the rich in China will not in any way improve their lives. On the contrary, it’ll probably result in massive amounts of lost jobs.”
You get it.
Beat me to it.
It takes a free market to create a middle class.
History has consistently proven that the redistribution of wealth simply inflates away its value. The only way wealth is actually created is when the cost of labor is LESS than the value of that which is produced. The cost of labor is ALWAYS determined by supply and demand. Any other way, also inflates away its value. This is All in simply reality.
What about the lower class?

That being the 600- 700 rural Chinese who live in poverty? They are going to be excluded like they are for everything else - money will go to the Party’s Princes and Princesses, with a drab going to the other City-born.
This is also a policy to stop the rise of wealthy executives since only the Party can have that sort of wealth ; it will also stem the further tide of innovation and invention - now at an all time low. When Xi says middle class he means Party members that are not so well connected as the wealthier upper class of party members. There is no real correspondence between the Western idea of ‘middle class’ and the Communist one under Xi.
This all follows the CCP dictum : no one can have more power, influence, wealth, inspiration than the CCP and is an insurance policy against further encroachments.
Poetic justice for the useful CCP idiots that carried out the cultural Revolution on their fellow chinese.
Did they really think their turn to be robbed for the common good wouldn’t come ?.

You misconstrued what I was saying - the CCP Revolutionaries are for the most part dead of old age, those that remain are at the top of the CCP power structure. They constitute the the leadership in the PLA, Central Committee, and Xi’s inner circle.
Wealth, power, inspiration, influence, etc flows TO them from the wealthy CEOs and others who, having accumulated those things, threaten the CCP - a fragile & paranoid bunch. They aren’t getting robbed, but enriched.
Ordinary people get nothing, or even less. Once again the CCP is creating a problem where none existed, making everything worse for everyone else.
I stand corrected.
Thank you sir.
