    I don’t think that’s a reason to praise the PRC’s dictatorship. And suggesting they aren’t also greedy capitalists just because they call themselves communists is about as silly as saying the DPRK is democratic because it has that word in its name. Xi Jinping has a net worth of over a billion dollars. Does that sound like the achievement of a communist to you?

    I don’t support them one bit. I certainly don’t support capital punishment.

    I just like seeing CEOs get their due.
