Chinese Democracy

 Saw a post today that the CEO of Airbnb has joined the Dogebags and it is expected that his business will suffer because of this nefarious association. (See: Elon Musk and Tesla). 

How does a guy who made his first billion renting out other people's homes, expect to make more money, in a dictatorship, where the market share for his *product* has got to be much smaller as people lose jobs, possibly their lives in purges, their freedom due to incarceration, and any sense of normalcy that we had here last year? What the fvck kinda business model is fascism anyway? You talk about a pyramid scheme! If you've ever seen a pyramid, there's not a lot of room at the top!

These guys made their incredible fortunes under the brutal, democratic republic regimes of Biden, Obama and Clinton. They eked out a living to become billionaires despite horrific regulations put on them that are so graphic that I don't dare post them here because they're just too ugly! I don't want to lose my blog!

You want to talk about an oppressed minority, it's billionaires! There are only 1,050 of them in the country as of this morning! That's it. It could change by the end of the day. We'll have to see how the market does. Other so-called "oppressed minorities" like the blacks, the women, the gays- they number in the tens of millions! You call those minorities? Sounds like the mob rule of democracy to me.

Think of any billionaire. How did he- or she- make their first billion? You might be surprised that it's not widgets and better mouse traps. Except for Musk, who makes electric cars, do any of them make anything? Off the top of my head, not really. They leverage money they don't have, to get more and somehow that works. Throw in credit default swaps, hedge funds, some speculation and luck and there you go. There might be more to it than that, but I'm just a poor boy from a poor family...

It's silly and one of those "only in America" things because next on the list of billionaires is China with 305. And they are communist and actually make things! Aside from making more Chinese people than any other country, they make everything and that works for them in their quaint, quasi-commie way.

Remember the band, "Guns n Roses"? I was never much into them, but they did have an album that fascinated me called "Chinese Democracy". Was it about Chinese democracy? I doubt it. They play too loud to know what anything is really about, but the title intrigued me because I had noticed the Chinese weren't as communist as they used to be. They were really getting into money and other bourgeoisie stuff that they had been against. The Russians too. Maybe that was the natural order of things because communism just doesn't work on a large scale. It's not sustainable. It seems like a good idea after putting down a monarchy, because when you've just won the revolution and you're sitting around in the smoldering ruins of your country, it's a tough call as to what to do next. The first priority is feeding people. And you want everybody to be the same- no fancy people. It's very idealistic and seems like the thing to do at the time, but it never is. Pretty soon you find yourself hating your own people and feeding them becomes a chore, and the purges begin so that you have less people to feed and be annoyed by. That's communism.

But the Chinese. They are showing us that you can make money while still oppressing people! How do they do it- VOLUME, VOLUME, VOLUME! There is over a billion of them, compared to our paltry 330 million. You can't get Facebook or HBO in China. They keep a tight rein on their people. No fvcking around with the frivolous trappings of the capitalist pigs in America. Kids have iPhones in America, kids make iPhones in China. 

I think our billionaires have long since caught onto that here. We don't make anything here but trouble for ourselves, and that is because it's cheaper to have China make our stuff. This is because the Chinese don't fvck around with unions and labor laws and regulations. Fox news will tell you that manufacturing went overseas because of abusive government regulations, but the reality is manufacturing left because of corporate greed. Sure, regulations were indeed a factor, but that's because the government refused to drop the hammer on wages and labor, the two keyways to amass robber baron-like fortunes. Without democratic opposition, this shit now would have happened decades ago. 

Instead, it's happening now. Trump is just the guy to do it. Millions of people love him! He does what he pleases. Sure, the courts are thwarting him a little bit now, but he and his billionaire cohorts hold ALL the branches of government. The courts aren't going to save us. There comes a point where you cannot enforce court orders because the people who enforce those orders work for the people you are making judgements against. And then there is always the military... Might truly does make right. 

So that's the plan. Chinese democracy. Take a perfectly OK country like the US- about to celebrate 250 years of sometimes greatness- and overnight make it China White. China with white people. As far as business models go, it is one. It's a tall order. Even maga will catch on, but by the time they do, they'll be in work camps. Their stupid kids will be making iPhone knock offs for our billionaire oligarchs to sell to... I don't know. Do they know? Have they thought that far ahead? How many Chinas can one planet sustain? Who takes- arguably the greatest country in the world- and destroys it and the democracy that made it great- for fun and profit? We do. Jesus Fvcking Christ we are even importing dumbfvckery now!
