it's funny how all the propaganda has completely flipped from a hundred years ago. US Capitalism means you cant afford a home or education , and the average person is cutting back even on simple necessities like food. And all of this is good for some reason.

Chinese Communism means housing is so cheap and plentiful you cant make a profit off of real estate, education is free, and there's so much food that its effecting prices all around the world. And all of this is bad for some reason.

    I think they feel they have successfully convinced enough of the working class that they are "temporarily embarrassed billionaires" that they don't even need to pretend their system offers anything to the working class. Yanks (and most people in the west) have almost negative class consciousness these days.

    I'd imagine because of the bourgeoise news which is owned by private billionaires see the crushing austerity of the poor and the obscene wealth going into their pockets a good thing.
