Being at the top in a totalitarian government can be a cushy job with plenty of opportunities for personal gain but...
We The People have a nasty habit of demanding freedom from oppression. From American Thinker:
Chicom Nightmare: Hong Kong protests spread to gigantic Guangdong province
The Chicoms have a problem.
Seems the Hong Kong protests they are so desperate to tamp down have started to ignite elsewhere, deep into China's cities.
Here's one the Chicoms really didn't want:
Protesters in southern Guangdong province, China, took to the streets last week to demand the communist government not build a polluting crematorium near their town, adopting slogans common to the Hong Kong protest movement, Time magazine noted on Monday.
The Hong Kong newspaper Apple Daily, which openly supports the anti-communist movement, reported the use of slogans such as "revolution of our times," which China considers seditious hate speech, and "just like you, Hong Kong!" in Guangdong. As China heavily censors coverage of the Hong Kong protests and bans all statements of support from the few permitted social media sites in the country, the adoption of the Hong Kong movement's slogans and tactics is a sign that people within Communist China are informing themselves regarding the protests through unapproved means.
The Guardian reports that the Chicoms stomped them out, like an out-of-control campfire. But the danger to the regime remains.
As I wrote earlier, this is Beijing's worst nightmare come to life:
In short, there's evidence that amid that sea of millions of Hongkongers protesting communism from China, some of them are mainland Chinese. Message: the mainland Chinese are getting ideas. The Chicoms of Beijing cannot wall them out from Hong Kong nor can they stop this.
And this raises the specter of what happens when they return to China, because many of these Chinese have their families there, and they will. Are these Chinese going to return back to China and spread that democracy 'virus' they passionately embraced in Hong Kong, kicking off similar protests in Chengdu, Tianjin, Harbin, Shenzhen, Wuhan and other giant cities to duplicate what the Hongkongers launched? It actually seems plausible. What's more, it will be an awakening as Chinese finally come to the realization that they deserve the same freedoms their fellow Chinese in Hong Kong have enjoyed until recently. When ten or twelve Chinese megacities start holding the kinds of protests Hong Kong is holding, Bejing's old gray rulers will have a hell of a problem on their hands. And that is their worst, their very worst, nightmare.
Not only is China failing to keep the revolt in Hong Kong out of the consciousness of the Chinese people, but protests now are taking inspiration from the Hong Kongers.
Heh - their vision of a Communist State is crumbling in their hands. Good. Communism only killed about 100,000,000 of its citizens. To think that people in our nation would even consider Communism or it's "lite" cousin Socialism shows that our education system is seriously in need of an overhaul.
