    In China, the State prosecutes corrupt businessmen. But in the West, corrupt businessmen prosecute the State!

    Written like a Russian reversal joke but sadly true, though.

    Still trying to find tears which mysteriously don’t come out when I hear of millionaire crooks being sentenced to death in the PRC. Must be where I left the other tears for the United Health CEO.

      I saw Americans used to argue that they don’t need to execute businessmen like in China, because they aren’t as corrupt, and so don’t have to deliberately execute them.

      It is very clear that the Epstein case has blown this wide open and shown just how deeply, immensely corrupt the US bourgeoisie is. Now it only remains for them to realize WHY we are not allowed to execute the bourgeoisie.
