CHINA'S DISGUSTINGLY SELFISH RULING ELITE - (YES, THEY HAVE ONE AND IT'S NOT RIGHT-WING; IT'S LEFT-WING!)

NYTIMES:

Membership in the upper ranks of the Chinese Communist Party has always had a few undeniable advantages. There are the state-supplied luxury sedans, special schools for the young ones and even organic produce grown on well-guarded, government-run farms. When they fall ill, senior leaders can check into 301 Military Hospital, long considered the capital’s premier medical institution.

But even in their most addled moments of envy, ordinary Beijingers could take some comfort in the knowledge that the soupy air they breathe on especially polluted days also finds its way into the lungs of the privileged and pampered.

Such assumptions, it seems, are not entirely accurate.

As it turns out, the homes and offices of many top leaders are filtered by high-end devices, at least according to a Chinese company, the Broad Group, which has been promoting its air-purifying machines in advertisements that highlight their ubiquity in places where many officials work and live.

THIS PROVES - ONCE AGAIN - SOCIALIST POLICIES HAVE NEVER INCREASED PROSPERITY OR BROUGHT ANY UTOPIA CLOSER TO EXISTENCE.

THEY HAVE MERELY EMPOWERED AN ELITE TO RETARD ECONOMIC GROWTH WHILE LECTURING AND HECTORING LIMITING THE COMMON MAN AND PAMPERING THEMSELVES.

SUCH WAS THE CASE IN THE USSR, AND ITS SATELLITES, AND IN NORTH KOREA, ZIMBABWE, CUBA, AND SO ON.

DEMOCRACY AND CAPITALISM ARE NOT ONLY THE BEST WAYS TO CREATE PROSPERITY BUT ALSO TO DISTRIBUTE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND TO LIMIT INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY WHEN NECESSARY.

SO-CALLED SOCIALIST REVOLUTIONS ARE ALL REACTIONARY:

THEY MERELY REPLACE ONE ELITE (THE ARISTOCRACY) WITH ANOTHER (THE PARTY).

THE ONLY TRUE REVOLUTION WAS THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

THE MORE WE ADHERE TO ITS VALUES, THE RICHER AND FREER WE SHALL BECOME AND REMAIN.
