  • The Rothschilds collectively are the wealthiest in the world that we know about, excluding figurehead royalty due to disputes on what they actually own and how to separate them from the state.

    One important thing to know is that wealth isn't publicly listed anywhere. The vast majority of it is self reported. Sure if you own enough stock as a percentage of a company's total you get publicly listed, and theoretically if you're stupid your real assets are in your name, but that isnt how wealth is held. Wealth is held in private corporations, estates, and trusts, layers of them. It's why the wealthy can avoid taxes in the first place, there is no accurate measure of it all.

    Those Forbes lists, for example? Entirely self reported, famously so as that's how Trump was ever listed as a billionaire despite (best reporting and federal investigations showing) him never having any combination of assets that could be totaled near a billion.

    The real people with the real wealth, not tech bros with overvalued stock, don't have assets directly attributable to them anymore, they learned their lesson back when American workers fought the US military for basic workers rights and Russian workers were beheading tsars.

  • Because liberal brainwashing is hard to shake and they've painted Trump as the next Hitler when he's just the monopoly man if he was hit on the head as a child, i.e. just a politician that's maybe a little dumber than normal.

    Trump will do whatever old money wants him to do, Elon and Trump will learn who actually runs the country, and who actually has wealth if they stray from what old money wants.

    As far as anyone can tell old money wants the world to burn in a way they believe is reversible, which isn't nuclear war.

  • By giving aid to those that need it regardless of whose in charge. And Muslim women aren't cattle, even in extreme regressive versions of Islam. This shows an inherent misunderstanding of why the repressive rules were created, which will lead to failure in understanding how to correct it.

  • I'm being purposefully hyperbolic to people that think investing in local communities is a genocide. Realistically yes, you can have leftist beliefs while believing anti left fascist propaganda. A whole lot of why the Weimar Republic fell was socialists believing fascists over their own comrades. But really if the only actual sources for a thing are people paid to explicitly be against communism, maybe don't believe it. Read some Chinese history, look into the myths like mao ordering sparrows to be killed and read why that's not a thing that happened and where those stories first started.

    You will never have a clear view of anything regarding people, were too chaotic of a thing to objectively record, but you can get a much better idea if you understand the underlying motivations of those doing the recording. Chinese propaganda wants to entrench Chinese power for a China controlled by the people. American propaganda wants to entrench the ruling classes power for a China controlled by the American ruling class. Seems the biases are therefore a little uneven.

  • Ask yourself this, how do you think your revolution, whatever revolution you think is necessary to install your ideology, is going to go 50 years after it's successful and you've been attacked constantly on all sides and from within by the enemy?

    Turns out we can answer that, you won't make it 50 years, you won't make it five if you stick to principles doomed to fail.

    China isn't a fascist state, they're not an imperialist state. They're an unapologetic dictatorship of the proletariat, and the only country still around that has executed billionaires, plural. Are they communist? No, no state can be communist given that statelessness is required. But they have an open democracy where all citizens can participate, a government that explicitly follows the will of the people, and an economy that favors the workers and has pulled more people out of poverty than all other economic systems combined. All without really violating human rights.

  • Reread, I never suggested you support capital, I suggested your outdated naive ideology has no chance against capital. As to your second point, reread some basic theory as to why dengism was adopted in China and how it has successfully outlasted the ussr and all other left wing movements in history while being true to its ml roots.

  • That's nice and all, but there are literally millions of critics that aren't banned, whose work is publicly available, who criticize from a place of wanting to improve, not destroy.

    China is ML, and if there's anything MLs live to do, it's criticize each other.

    The vast majority of people that actually get banned from producing certain works either spread entirely false propaganda created by western intelligence agencies ( uighur "genocide" ) or want to remove the government entirely and replace it with a kleptocracy like the US has.

  • Suspicion of terrorism, or nothing at all. If the libs are right they wouldn't care about charges anymore. But since libs are so rarely correct, the government can hold you for 72 hours without charge and the patriot act has a whole list of charges that require no evidence for an arrest. Also statistically you live within 100 miles of a US border if you're in the US, meaning border patrol can arrest you for any reason or no reason indefinitely.

  • Oh, you're an idealist stuck two centuries behind everyone else. Capital can and will crush everything you build through your ideology, so drop the anarcho part until capital is eliminated globally, or enjoy being a slave to capital your entire existence.

  • I've lived in China for work. It's genuinely no different than say, the Denmark in terms of "repression" except instead of arresting those that threaten capital, they arrest those that threaten the people (usually on behalf of capital). It's not an anarchist paradise, they haven't achieved communism, but they're likely the furthest thing from fascism that's still a nation. Anyone that claims to be on the left and dislikes their methods or compares them to fascists are genuinely either not on the left, or are baby lefties stuck in the 1800s in terms of reading and philosophy.
