>Communism isn't supposed to be non-hierarchical, just non-classicist ... any individual, regardless of birth, can rise to any position through ability and hard work. The higher and more important the position, the more resources are made available to that person
I understand the point about not everyone being identical, but this implies that people will have a higher / lower social status. I don't know how you get that out of what's also supposed to be a classless society. Also a part of Marx was to reduce the number of hours people work and increase the amount of free time.

>China is on the verge of a 2nd cultural revolution because its on the verge of defaulting on its internal debt because of a lack of revenue due to orangeman tariffs.
They have a lot of problems and a lot of Chinese are in the same bummed-out / blugh mode as everybody else.
