The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

You know what happens when an entire nation is exposed to luxurious lifestyles of an extremely wealthy minority?
Revolution. Revolution happens.
Chinese politicians know this fact too well, that's why they're trying to make rich people hide their wealth.
I mean actually fixing the problem is out of the question, that would be communism.
Communism wouldn't fix much, and it would only be a temporary fix. It doesn't work well at a larger scale which is why every country that has tried it has either fallen apart or turned into a dictatorship.
We're better off finding the proper balance between capitalism and socialism until someone comes up with a better system that actually works.
I mean most houses crumble when you hit em with a tornado but were still building houses.
What i mean to say is I think we can agree there's enough noise in most previous communism attempts, making them pretty shitty data to base your hypothesis off off
Communism is a house that crumbles on its own, fast, while producing tornadoes that take down other houses in the process.
