It's not just the US though. None of these people have been punished in any western country, none of them are in jail. The whole Epstein fiasco proves beyond all doubt that Marxists were right all along. We live in a class society, and the laws of this society are created by the ruling capitalist class which subjugates and exploits the working majority. Any democracy that exists is reserved for the ruling elites.
And what was revealed is that their class controls any country, western or not. No single country has yet shown any fix to the issue
China, Cuba, Vietnam, and DPRK have all fixed the issue and have the working class in charge.
I don't know if you were aware, but you can just not write imbecilic comments on social media.
A rate of 0.2, 0.1 under the world average of 0.3 (down near India despite being far more developed and with far less poverty) so wrong. Also going by absolute numbers (despite this being idiotic given China's population) still half of America despite being 4 times as populous. Have you considered investigating before speaking and embarrassing yourself. Also this is largely irrelevant to the fact that billionaires hold no politics power in China.
Chauvinist idiot.
I was way off on the China billionaire thing, for sure. My bad. But your reaction to me mentioning the huge suppression of free speech and individual right to expression says more than I could ever say on the matter. And the fact that you ignored the god-king.
