Oh, I understand the argument. It wasn’t that I needed help to grasp it.
I just think the idea that the oligarchs of modern China have carefully analyzed socialism, and determined after their analysis that accumulating billions of dollars to themselves as part of a calculated process which will eventually result in doing away with their own wealth and power and handing it over to the working class when full socialism is achieved, is so asinine that I felt safe simply responding to it by showing Samuel Johnson giving a look to the camera like he’s just seen the dumbest shit he’s ever heard of.
I think the implication to their argument is that the chinese billionaires aren’t oligarchs by virtue of not being a part of the current ‘archy’, but I getcha.
Essentially that the mechanisms creating billionaires in China, (state run capitalism), is a part of a calculated process of socialism.
