Oh boy. This is frightening.
It seems so many people in power have adopted a “If we can’t have it, let it burn” attitude.
Mao’s goal was to destroy everything and start from scratch with nothing. Remember Klaus’ quote, “You will own nothing and be happy.”
I’ve managed to save enough money that the martinets trying to lord it over me at work are powerless. I can tell them to kiss off, take this job etc. They do not like being powerless.
This is just one step to regain control. Putting me back at zero means I no longer have a say in my future.
