There’s a Japanese saying that I love:
“If you feel like you’re losing everything, remember, trees lose their leaves every year, yet they still stand tall and wait for better days to come.”
Someone once stopped me as I was stepping out of my Lambo
“How many starving people could you have fed with the money you spent on that?”
I told him the truth:
“I don't know. But it fed the 1,800 families of the people who built it.
It fed the designers. The carbon-fiber suppliers. The tyre manufacturers. The 300 technicians who spent hundreds of hours hand-crafting this machine with pride.”
That’s the difference. Socialism demands you divide the pie
Capitalism pays people to bake a bigger one
Do you understand?
The Chinese Communist Party does not represent the Chinese people.
Bradley Thayer says the CCP itself was born from Soviet imperialism.
Communism was imported into China, imposed on its people, and its rise was shaped directly by Stalin.
“The Chinese Communist Party, again, was made by the Soviet Union, by the Comintern.”
“It was led by Comintern agents.”
“Stalin understood the utility of the Chinese Communist Party and the role that it would play.”
“Stalin was involved in every aspect through Comintern and through other means in the life of the Chinese Communist Party.”
“In fact, selecting Mao Zedong in 1938 over one of his rivals and ensuring that Mao triumphed.”
“So the Chinese Communist Party is a product of Soviet imperialism, and we need to see the Chinese Communist Party as a colonial government ruling the Chinese people.”
“There’s nothing Chinese, if you will, or Han about Lenin and Leninism.”
“Communism by definition is illegitimate because it doesn’t seek any consent from the people.”
“We look forward to a day when the Han, when the Chinese people are no longer ruled by a colonial government, the last surviving remnant of Soviet imperialism.”
