Educating Our Dangerous Deceived People; Dispelling American Propaganda about the Chinese

In 2015, the Communist Party of China’s acceptance rate was even with the Ivy League.

America Misunderstands the view many Chinese people have of the Communist party, and by extension, misunderstand the view they would have of the system if it were native to America, created by us.

People don’t willingly subject themselves to totalitarianism. Internally within an individual person, it’s pride in one’s country. Within the country, it’s propaganda about nationalism. Similar to America.

Here is an outline of how many of the Chinese view Americans. Like Harvard or the Communist party, we are a privileged nation with a low acceptance rate. The vast majority of people in the United States live under the oppressive Capitalist regime, subservient to the wealthy. The US population are subjected to brainwashing propaganda from birth to accept this extremely uneven system. But, unlike the US, they have reason to fear foreign invasion. It’s occurred frequently throughout their history.

The Chinese people aspire to be accepted into the Communist party just as US citizens aspire to be accepted by the Capitalist Class. Each being the group that rules over each nation, respectively. As someone with ambition in the US might study the stock market and business, those who aspire to power in China study the specialization of their field in addition to communist theory.

The Communist Party being more transparent in its rulership. They are the captains of every industry, including government. The US is the same, just that we don’t think about it the same way. We don’t picture the privileged capitalists as ruling over us. We do, we just leave the word “capitalist” out of our description.

Of China’s 1.4 billion population, about 88 million, or 1 in 16 are accepted into the Communist party. The closest comparator would be a $100,000/year salary in the US; about 1 in 15 US citizens earn that much. Less than 10% of the members of the Chinese Communist Party work in the government. Their government like ours is the administration and bureaucracy binding society together. Most work in their specialized industry.

So far, do these sound like two diametrically opposed systems of societal organization or do they sound the same?

While they do fear the capitalist military-industrial complex that runs the show, the Chinese seem to pity those not in the ruling Capitalist Class in the United States more than they fear them. They feel sorry for a brainwashed, oppressed people, not knowing that they are living under a tyrannical system. They feel sorry for us because of the slave-like devotion and amount of time we devote to work away from our families.

They pity us and our anger. They feel sorry for the stress our society puts on us with the constant threat of death hanging over us. Either death through a health problem or caused by an angry man with a gun, unleashing horrific mass murder. Some of them are fearful of coming to America, thinking they’ll get shot on the street. Not for being Chinese, but because they are in America. Everyone gets shot in America.

They are glad they don’t have to live in fear like us. They are glad they have friends and family and traditions and are not conditioned into believing that they must slavishly devote every hour of their lives to their job.

Ask them about the potential for war with the United States and some of them will cry. They don’t understand why we don’t try to find romance and love instead. They believe that everyone should try to find love, devote their time to life and love, spending your time with your family and friends. They think it’s a terrible necessity if it comes down to it, to take a human life, any life, foreign or Chinese.

Only as a last resort would they kill others. Any act which we might interpret as aggression, they see as a defensive maneuver against outsiders who have invaded their land before.

Their TV commercials often depict young families with a young child, with hope for a bright future. Their TV news even presents them with a mushy, soft-hearted picture of peace and constant economic growth and opportunity as far as they can see into the foreseeable future.

The effect is a docile and happy population. That doesn’t mean a tear doesn’t come to their eye when they picture doing what they must: protecting their homes in an inevitable future: killing a poor, young brainwashed American solider sent by his Capitalist masters to invade their land.
