    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_billionaires

      So way fewer billionaires per capita with a way smaller fortune than the ones in the US, despite having a bigger economy? Oh no, this is a disaster.

          Getting a liberal to read is borderline impossible. They can’t even stomach short articles anymore.

            Maybe we can find a way to write a really long headline and trick them into it

              Maybe .ml should learn to read past simple platitudes of “billionaires are ok because we need to do business”. Just because castro said good things about xi, doesnt mean workers havent been locked up in factories.

                Xi executed CEO’s that poisoned babies with lead.

                What did the US do to the CEO that poisoned American babies?

                Nothing.

            I just dont like billionaires in any form wether or not they work as “adapters”.

            The article is just long form “the west has them, so we should have them”. Billionaires arent under the peoples control. they’re under the control of a dictator.

              It isn’t, actually. It attempts to examine why the PRC has them in the first place.

                They skimmed it for talking points, ain’t no way a person with such surface level opinions can analyze that article in 5 minutes lmao

                  Of course, hence my pointing out their mistake.

      Sure. Read my comment going over why that is, and why that doesn’t mean China suddenly isn’t Socialist.
