The other day that Tankie that told me that earning capital was a feature of communism and if I just read Marx, I'd know he was in favor of private property, as they were defending China as a "communist" country. My god that was funny.
What does this comment have to do with the posted article?
When the Tankies come in here to defend this, you'll find out.
This article was posted for half a day. I suspect you only made your comment based on the headline without actually reading the content of the article.
Nope. I read the article. I just know the back story and I know that not only did Guo make his fortune developing property in China (especially when he got some very lucrative contracts for the Beijing Olympics) and, despite his criticisms of the CCP, he still owns a huge amount of property in the so-called communist country which has never seized and nationalized his assets, distributing the wealth amongst the workers.
He left China in "self-exile." He was never under threat. He just didn't like living there.
