They're literally defending the existence of The People's Billionaires as proletarian liberation. They're a lost cause, like most tankies.
Totally agree. The essay they posted has some funny magical thinking if you want to skim through it for a laugh. "Billionaires are good actually because we need them to be like a sort of USB plug so we can link into capitalist economies. Anyway the state can execute them as a scapegoat if the need arises. Here's a few dozen quotes from philosophers. See? Still socialist."
As Mao said, no investigation, no right to speak. I used to think like you do, but then I did a little investigation.
As Mao also said, "let one hundred flowers bloom in social science and arts and let one hundred of view points be expressed in the field of science.", and then promptly jailed and murdered those who expressed themselves. Not sure he's the ideal champion of free thought.
Jailing reactionaries is objectively good, the Cultural Revolution just went a little too far (like the Great Purge before it).
...
You know. I imagine most tankies are just radicalised westerners.
But you my friend, I would be willing to bet you’re a chinese state sponsered keyboard warrior.

You might want to take up ol' sparrow killer on that advice yourself.......
