The funniest part is how socialists pretend theyโre โanti-billionaire,โ but the only billionaires they hate are the ones who earned it through voluntary trade. If you create value that millions choose to pay for, youโre the devil. But if you become a billionaire through political favor, violence, corruption or dictatorship, suddenly nobody has anything to say.
Youโll hear endless rage about American entrepreneurs.
But not a word about:
โข Hamas billionaires living in luxury while their people starve
โข Chinese party-approved billionaires handpicked by the state
โข Politician billionaires who get rich off force, not value
Because the issue was never wealth.
The issue is independence.
They donโt hate rich people.
They hate people who donโt owe them anything.
Which is why they worship China.
Not because socialism worked there, but because China replaced markets with political obedience. An economy run by permission slips. A billionaire class created by the state, controlled by the state and disposable at the state's command.
Thatโs the world socialists want:
Not equality.
Not fairness.
Just a ruling class they imagine will include them.
They donโt want to abolish oligarchs.
They want to be the oligarchs.
This is China.๐จ๐ณ
China is proof that socialism works.
As for Cuba, Venezuala and other examples, they may have worked if the US government hadn't spent TRILLIONS of dollars to prevent their success.
