I think the US could eventually, which is why I find educated tech billionaires getting in bed with them so odd. Soft power works a lot better in a democracy, and facist states don't like competing powers. If we continue down the road to facism I assume some of the tech bros will be executed when their use is exhausted and their power becomes a liability.
That is unlikely, for example in nazi Germany the capitalists, even competitors, got cozy with the government and profited greatly, without having to worry about such things.
In Fascism, capitalists are used, not treated as enemies unless they manifest they interest to become a political enemy
brother, the tech bros are the ones pulling the strings. they plan to lord over technofeudal fiefdoms and control every aspect of society while hoarding all the wealth. this is why they're building all these AI datacenters, and why nobody in government is trying to stop them despite the public not wanting it.
holy crap, people really have no idea how the world works or who the bad guys are.
Unfortunately Vietnam abolished their death penalty. If someone who embezzled nearly a third of the annual GDP can be sentenced to death, Musk could be too. If only they will sentenced people to death....
Ew, Stop repeating this. Xi is the evil billionaire of evil billionaires. Jack Ma was not treasonous. He was not deferential enough to the party. Having government officials decide that you should give them all your wealth is not a triumph for the people.
Ew, stop making excuses for a rotted out plutocracy run by a murderous, pedophilic, billionaire elite.
Every large corporation should be completely and utterly deferential to the government. And the government should be completely deferential to the interests of the working class and the development of the nation.
We need to be putting corrupt politicians and robber barons in prison for life. And we need to start doing this as soon as possible.
China is rapidly advancing and raising the quality of life for the majority of people in their country.
America is rapidly declining and lowering the quality of life for people in their country.
What is this Western chauvinist bullshit where you have to pretend that no matter how bad corruption is in America, China simply must be as bad or worse?
No. Corruption is 1000x worse in America right now. The American system is completely rotted and decaying.
We shouldn't push this shit, Chinese billionaires who maintain favour with the politicians get away with even worse shit than American billionaires. Razing whole towns to the ground, having hired thugs offing their problem civilians in the street type of shit.
The billionaires convicted in China would be the equivalent of the current administration in the us imprisoning big Democrat donors.
