the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

BBC really can't help being sinophobic in any situation, huh?

Why is this country doing better? It must be mommy and daddy's money.

Where did that money come from? How come %70 of millennials have rich parents? How does that work?

if 70% of people are rich that's a pretty successful economy though

How come %70 of millennials have rich parents?

Well, ackshually, they’re all capitalists who exploit, uh, the poor American billionaires!

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

its because most parents buy a 2nd house for there children as wages>capital ratio actually allow that

And then here in America they just advise millennials.

"Just live with mummy and daddy forever and inherit their property when they pass. Porky want money, porky needed what would have otherwise been your house!"

But Rahm Emmanuel tweeted that Chinese youth are suffering the most from economic woes. Rahm Emmanuel would never lie to me!

I'm sorry to remind you of the relentless march of time, but I don't think Millennials are "youth" anymore.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I bet the youth stats are even worse. At least some Western millennials had a chance.

It would be interesting to see how much houses cost, average mortgage, all juxtaposed with average wages, average cost of goods. I feel like all this information would reinforce an already massive point.

Is Mexico really #2? That's a huge gap.

One Child Policy helped with this, when combined with massive poverty reduction and land redistribution. Only one kid to pass things onto and to help out with

Mexico being here has to be a fluke related to living close to the US. Like i feel the ruling class here didn't hoard that much property (tho its getting worse) because they prefer living/spending in the US.

maquiladoras enter the chat

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

I would assume the ruling class would just own and rent out houses in mexico while living in the us

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

There was land reform decades back so maybe this slowed their property hoarding, to this day most of the land distributed for peasants is back to the hands of the few.

This info is from a study conducted 6 years ago that only looked at 9 countries. Malaysia and Canada aren't on the list and idk what the 9th country is because the link that article provides is broken.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Oh, okay. I guess we can just ignore the entire study and go on pretending that the west is the pinnacle of human achievement. Whew! That was close!

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I'm not a lib dude that's not what I meant. I'm just saying that the graph looks wrong because the study sucks. Let's not uncritically accept info because it says something we want to hear.
