Chinese Labor Protests
In 2005 there were over 87,000 labor protests in China.
I always thought the basic unit of communism was the laborer. It seems to me that if you are a communist country and you aren’t treating your laborers right – to the tune of 87,000 protests – you might be missing the point.
Communism, sure. But the key phrase here is “… with Chinese characteristics.” For example, “Socialism with Chinese characteristics,” or “Tourons with Chinese characteristics.“
That’s awesome.
