The self-delusions continue. The Left is in hysterics over property rights and consumerism in today's China. The NY Slimes recently published an essay on it, fretting over the growing "income gap" in China. The bozos actually put in print this:

...In 1980, when the turn toward a market economy started, China had one of the world's most even distributions of wealth.

The article is now hidden behind pay-per-view archives, but here's the reference, anyway: Correspondence/Class Consciousness; China's Wealthy Live by a Creed: Hobbes and Darwin, Meet Marx

...In 1980, when the turn toward a market economy started, China had one of the world's most even distributions of wealth.

Ya. The anointed few in Beijing lived like the Emperors of old and the other billion people had nothing. If you do the math, that is very even distribution. The top dogs are statistically insignificant unless you work it out to seven decimal places. No bell curve there.

You got to admire how the left is so adept of averting their eyes from the truth.
