This is all true, but not really the point.

We do have limits on what and how the government can seize your property. Just don’t pay the taxes on your house and see how long that takes.

They don’t have any limits. They can take what they want, whenever they want, for no reason at all.

“They don’t have any limits. They can take what they want, whenever they want, for no reason at all.”

True but that goes for any dictatorship, communist or not. My point is that the current dictatorship in China allows for people to own private property, which is the antithesis of marxist communism, and it is that that has allowed china to prosper so fast.

I don’t think they are stupid enough to kill the goose that’s laying golden eggs for them.

Not only that, but if they try to go back to maoism, they’ll have a revolution in their hands - they are very sensitive about keeping the masses quiet and reasonably happy, and that’s what keeps them from taking what they want when they want.
