China Embraces Vampire Capitalism, Tosses Working Poor to the Werewolves

Happy Halloween in advance!

We have all seen it coming. Though China continues to give lip service to socialist/communist values---all people are equal, everyone has a right to an education and work, prosperity should be shared---it has been acting more and more like a big, fat capitalist country.

Well, the lip service has ended.

HONG KONG—Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying said that if the government met student demands and allowed candidates to be nominated by the public, Hong Kong’s poor and working class could dominate the elections.

The poor dominating the government? An elected government that responds to the needs of the poor? That sounds like godless communism! Thank Buddha China is not red.....

Oh. Wait.

If it waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck and swims like a duck and sucks up the life blood of the working class----then it is a capitalist vampire duck.
