I get it's a meme and all, but no AES state has ever claimed they're five years away from a stateless society. You'd be selling out your own people if you dismantled your state while the entire capitalist world wants to kill you.

    Remember... China has more than 300 billionaire parasites, meaning China harbours the second-largest billionaire parasite infestation on the planet after the US.

    Remember that next time your local tankies start blathering about (so-called) "AES" again.

    "China Executes 14 Billionaires in 8 Years, Culture News Reports"

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2011-07-23/china-executes-14-billionaires-in-8-years-culture-news-reports

    Sounds like they have their billionaire class under control. Over an 8 year period they executed something like nearly 5% but definitely more than 2.5% of the billionaire class for criminality.

    You project your understanding of the lawless billionaires of the West to China when their system simply does not work the same. Chinese billionaires face significant consequences for malfeasance and their class is closely controlled by the Party which they aren't not even allowed to join. Their class is only allowed to join the non-voting advisory body called the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CCPCC) where they can make legislative proposals for the CPC to review.

    So to review as a class their political influence is subordinated to the workers party and when they break the law they are held accountable, they are even executed for serious crimes.

    The billionaire class of China is incomparable to the lawless corrupt class of criminal billionaires that we have in the West

    The meme is a throwaway. The comments are the gold.

    Seriously, it will never stop being funny to watch shitlibs who have never read a book in their lives call everyone to the left of them 'tankie' and 'fascist' then double down when leftists with an actual understanding of history try to educate them.
