    The fact that rich people are routinely executed in China is one of the clearest indications that dictatorship of the proletariat has been achieved. And this is precisely why China terrifies the west so much.

      dictatorship of the proletariat has been achieved.

      I think it’s a strong indicator that the political class hasn’t been completely bought (yet) but it doesn’t at all look like a dictatorship of the proletariat even a little bit.

        China has a really high population so the total count numbers are going to seem high.

        The second column tells you that it’s a whopping 0.6% of China’s population while every other country is between 2.7% and 8.5%. Guess which country is the 8.5%

        That Australian number seems inflated by property. People bought houses 40 years ago for a handshake and a nod and now the houses are “worth” 2 million dollars or whatever. But if you sell your house you need to buy another one and they come in 2 sizes: million dollar family home or million dollar shoebox studio in the city.

        So it’s monopoly money.
