- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 1 day ago:
China did not press a magical “make billionaires from clay” button. It enacted market reforms, after the failure in leaping directly from a largely feudal economy to a collectivist one, to progress the development of its economy within the global capitalist market system. Billionaires are an unfortunate symptom of the condradictions inherent to this system. Unlike most countries, however, the chinese government recognizes these billionaires as the threat to the public that they are, and tends to be much more cautious about them as a result, resisting their influence in state affairs.

So much ignorance on display here in this thread. People talking out of their ass with no clue or care why and how China has implemented economic reforms and development policy. No clue what communists even are much less the details of how they manage the economy of a developing socialist state within a capitalist global economy. Just thought-terminating clichés about billionaires and so-called “state capitalism”.
Fun fact: you can actually read the justifications for why socialist countries managed by proletariat governments have implemented limited market systems in their economies in China, Vietnam, Cuba, USSR, even Korea. Their thoughts are public!

I once crossed a one-lane one-way street at like 3 am on my bike while the bike path crossing light was red. I stopped and looked around. There were no vehicles or even humans in sight on the street or any of the connecting streets for hundreds of meters. It was 100% safe to cross. Anyway one of the parked cars on the cross street alongside the bike path was a cop with all their lights off, and they rolled their window down and yelled at me. Silly Germans.

I said speciesism, not speciation. Again with the reading comprehension.
You seem to have a conception of species as some magical boundary ordained by God that permits all harm. In reality it is an arbitrary human concept pertaining to evolution and genetic relatedness. There is no inherent moral component to it. Your prescription of moral unworth to individuals of different species from our own is called speciesism, and it does not follow logically from the mere differentiation of species.
This will be my final comment, because you’re incredibly rude.

You seem to have extremely poor reading comprehension.
The point is that slavers used racist pseudoscience to claim that enslaved people were a different, “lesser” species, to justify their enslavement. Not only was this incorrect, but even if it were true it would provide no justification. Speciesism is irrational and the human-invented line between species is completely irrelevant to the moral worth of individuals on either side of that line.
