Ryugyong Hotel 2: This time its personal

It had all the makings of a high-end development aimed at the super-rich

I know the CCP sees communism as a long term goal and not a current reality, but I always enjoy when capitalism wrecks things anyway.

Edit: fixed spelling

Has the current CCP done anything to make you believe they are moving towards communism?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Coz they said they communist. They put it in their name.

Just like the Democratic Republic of North Korea is a pillar of democracy! Why would they lie?

Democratic People's Republic of Korea, it's so democratic it's triply democratic!

Besides, you can't actually have the workers ownership until the workers have been properly educated… hence why you need the CCP to run things, for just a few more years. Also, no unions, because the workers don't need them!

Nothing in practice, nor do I expect them to. But their offical plans say socialism by 2035, then communism by (I think) 2050. And it tickles me that they say that while building a tower for wealthy.
