Probably a majority of ppl on social media who don’t like wealth inequality, have said that in some form.

Just banned ~10 Zionist trolls thanks to this thread. Merry xmas everyone

• He couldn’t possibly know they’d go for that.
• Grifters don’t always think things like this through.
• A surprising # of people would probably willingly take the death penalty to get 15 minutes of fame, especially for an action as popular as this was.

I could see the cat manipulating the dog into opening the fridge for them.

I personally don’t think he did it. He could easily be a grifter trying to take credit for a very popular act. There’s no shortage of those. All you’d need to do:

• Walk into a public place with a bag of somewhat incriminating items, but nothing that’s linked to the actual crime scene.
• Arouse enough suspicion to get the cops called on you. Being a white guy with black hair and a hoodie is not enough for someone to call the cops on you, I have no idea why people believe that was enough for a McD’s employee to call the cops.
• Claim credit for the shooting to the cops.
• Bonus points - Have a social media history praising similar actions.

The altoona cops then forwarded this to the NYPD, who were desperate to pin this on someone, after they messed up and let the shooter slip through their fingers. Out of the all the tips, this was the best one they’d gotten so far, so they’re running with it now.

This also explains why Luigi’s taking credit for some, but not all of the claims the police made (especially about the money he was supposedly carrying).

We use flushable litter, so it takes like 30 seconds twice a day to scoop and flush it.

Okay then, here are some articles showing how china’s people’s democracy works, and why they intentionally avoid the capitalist dictatorship model common in western countries.

Is China a Democracy?

• Is China a democracy?
• Workplace democracy in action in the CPC.
• What kind of democracy does China have, and how is it different from the west?
• In contrast to low US political approval ratings, 96% of Chinese are satisfied with the national government (Edelmans 2016). World Values Surveys says that 83% think the country is run for their benefit rather than for the benefit of special groups. A Harvard research center study of long-term public opinion survey finds that > 95% of Chinese citizens approved their government. How is this possible in a one-party state? (TED talk by Eric X Li)
• How does China’s political system work?
• How are Chinese leaders elected / chosen? How meristocratic is the system? How do elections differ from those in western bourgeois democracies?
• Who runs China? Makeup of the national people’s congress.
• US policy-makers are misjudging popular support China’s Government.
• The american dream is alive… in China.

The very first article yogthos showed you, had a poll that showed half of usonians don’t think their country is a democracy (they’re right)

The US congress, its highest governing body, hasn’t gotten over a 20% approval rating for many years.

Thx, I’ll update that.

The source for that appears to be this article from 2011 : https://web.archive.org/web/20160930015343/http://gbtimes.com/life/homelessness-china

Most of the poverty alleviation campaigns were well underway by 2012, so I’d be interested to see what those numbers are now.

But also, China is responsible for ~3/4ths of the reduction in world poverty via these campaigns.

Not to mention that if you’ve visited any Chinese city in the past few years, you won’t see any of the slums or homeless that you see in the neoliberal countries.

You can’t put a tent or sprawl out on them anymore.

China is not capitalist, its a mixed economy with the state-owned-and-planned sector dominating the heights of the economy.

Is China state capitalist?

• The backbone of the economy is state ownership and socialist planning. 24 / 25 of the top revenue companies are state-owned and planned. 70% of the top 500 companies are State-owned. 1, 2 The largest bank, construction, electricity, and energy companies in the world, are CPC controlled entities, subject to the 5 year plans laid out by the central committee.
• Workplace democracy in action in the CPC.
• Is modern day china communist? Is it staying true to communist values?
• Didn’t China go Capitalist with Deng Xiaoping? Didn’t it liberalize its economy? Is China’s drastic decrease in poverty a result of the increase in free market capitalist policies?
• Is the CPC committed to communism?
• The Long Game and Its Contradictions. Audiobook
• The myth of Chinese state capitalism. Did Deng really betray Chinese socialism?
• Tsinghua University- Is Socialism with Chinese Characteristics real socialism, or is it state Capitalism?
• Isn’t China revisionist for having a capitalist sector of the economy, and working with capitalists? Why isn’t it fully planned like the USSR was?
• Castro on why both China and Vietnam are socialist countries.
• Roderic Day - China has billionaires.
• What is socialism with Chinese characteristics (SWCC)?
• How is SWCC not revisionist? How is it any different from Gorbachev’s market reforms?, 2
• Domenico Losurdo - is China state capitalist?, 2
• Did Lenin say anything about Market Socialism, or productivism?
• Vijay Prashad - Is China capitalist?
• Why do Chinese billionaires keep ending up in prison? Why are many billionaires and CEOs going missing? China sentences Ex-Chairman of a major bank, guilty of embezzling ~$100M USD, to death in 2019.
• China cracks down on billionaires - Ben Norton interviews Ian Goodrum
• Do capitalists control the communist party? No, pic
• How the State runs business in China.
• 50% of the economy is in the socialist public sector and directly follows the plan (40% if you ignore the agricultural sector). 20 to 30% is inside the state capitalist sector, which is the sector partially or totally owned by domestic capitalists but run by the CPC or by local workers councils. The rest is made up of the small bourgeois ownership like in the NEP.
• China pushing forward Marxist training in colleges, attracts 1M students.
• China tells the US that it has no plans to weaken the role of its State-Owned-Enterprises, one of the US’s main demands in the trade war. “Beijing plans to make the state economy stronger, bigger, and better.”
• Unlike the US, China refuses to bail out over-leveraged property developers, and lets them go bankrupt.
• A China misinformation Megathread.

They have more than enough homes, they just chose to pursue a system that doesn’t make homes and homeless meet.

This is demonstratably false. China has one of the highest home ownership rates in the world, at ~90%. The US is at ~66% for comparison (and most of that isn’t actually full ownership, but a debt to mortgage brokers).

Why do you white supremacists think its okay to spout any unsourced nonsense because it fits your racist biases?

It doesn’t, I have no idea where you’re getting that from. China eliminated urban poverty over a decade ago (~2013), and rural poverty is nearly eliminated. Source.

Over the past 40 years, the number of people in China with incomes below $1.90 per day – the International Poverty Line as defined by the World Bank to track global extreme poverty– has fallen by close to 800 million. With this, China has contributed close to three-quarters of the global reduction in the number of people living in extreme poverty. At China’s current national poverty line, the number of poor fell by 770 million over the same period.

Another anti-China western source because we know white supremacists wouldn’t accept any Chinese source about their poverty alleviation campaigns.

Even some german “leftists” are becoming as islamophobic as the AFD with the war on Palestine:

You’ve owned the tankies by posting a search link that brings up articles from US and anglophone state media sources, like CNN, BBC.

The majority of the world disagrees with them, most notably the Muslim world, who had decades of lies from those sources defending the US bombing of their countries.

They literally linked you a study from harvard, because we know you white supremacists consider any non-western source as being inferior, and would reject them out of hand.

For an in-depth look at modern globalized production and the split between rich exploiter nations and the working poor in the global south, I highly recommend John Smith - Imperialism in the 21st century.

Some good introductory essays before diving into that book:

• The GDP illusion
• Imperialism in the 21st century (essay)

Nothing is more terrifying to liberals, than a government having capitalists under their thumb, and serving the people, rather than the other way around as is normal in their “superior” capitalist dictatorships.
