Laziness of wealth

Mq:

Yiwu writes like a political commissar - laziness of wealth - ordinary people not sufficiently educated to vote - the infallibility of the Party leaders - etc.

She has contended that she would have been more successful if she had remained in China. Ha ha! The funny thing is, once in the US, she obviously gravitated towards the closest thing she could find to the security of the Party - i.e. working for state government, where her total lack of initiative and entrepreneurial drive would not be a problem.

From this protected perch, she makes endless anti-capitalist pronouncements. She reminds me of one of those Japanese soldiers who emerged from the jungle of some Pacific island in 1965 to finally surrender, having spent their youth fighting an imaginary war that was lost twenty years before.
