In " Why Socialism ? ", by Albert Einstein, May 1949 https://monthlyreview.org/2009/05/01/why-socialism/ Einstein both starts and ends with: Why Socialism ? In the end, he asks: << How can [a] COUNTERWEIGHT to the power of bureaucracy be assured ? Clarity about the aims and PROBLEMS of socialism is of greatest significance in our age of transition. >> Captialism is the COUNTERWEIGHT ( to the power of bureaucracy ). Without capitalism, you have no real say, no _real_ vote. One dollar, One vote; No dollars, No _real_ votes. Communist slaves in China have two choices: 1. Work for the state, with state housing. Or: 2. Work for the state, in a "ReEducation camp" ( jail ). With luck, this won't change; otherwise, I couldn't afford their stuff.
Wikipedia says: << Einstein was in favour of socialism and in opposition to capitalism, as illustrated by the following quote: " I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy "... >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_views_of_Albert_Einstein But the quote is from: " Why Socialism ? ", by Albert Einstein, May 1949 https://monthlyreview.org/2009/05/01/why-socialism/ Where Einstein BOTH STARTS AND ENDS WITH: Why Socialism ? A bit further, at the very end, Einstein _ASKS_: << A planned economy, as such, may be accompanied by the complete enslavement of the individual... How can [a] COUNTERWEIGHT to the power of bureaucracy be assured ? Clarity about the aims and PROBLEMS of socialism is of greatest significance in our age of transition. >> Captialism is the COUNTERWEIGHT ( to the power of bureaucracy ). Without capitalism, you have no real say, no _real_ vote. One dollar, One vote; No dollars, No _real_ votes. Communist slaves in China have two choices: 1. Work for the state, with state housing. Or: 2. Work for the state, in a "ReEducation camp" ( jail ). With luck, this won't change; otherwise, I couldn't afford their stuff.

If she needs money badly, like a junkie, she'll fuck for money. Communist countries ban " Perversion for Profit " ( Porn ). That, alone, is reason enough to subvert the system. Corruption is China's LeastBad option, better than red tape communism.
In " Why Socialism ? ", Einstein noted how PseudoSocialism leads to " the complete enslavement of the individual ". Communist slaves have two choices: 1. Work for the state, with state housing. Or: 2. Work for the state, in a "ReEducation camp" ( jail ). With luck, this won't change; otherwise, we couldn't afford their stuff. In " Why Socialism ? ", Einstein asks: [ Can ] CounterWeights to the power of bureaucracy be assured ? How often do Bill Maher, Bill Clinton, Obama and CNN discuss the PROBLEMS of socialism, and the necessary CounterWeights ? How often do they discuss the BENEFITS of global warming ? Captialism is the CounterWeight ( to the power of bureaucracy ). Without capitalism, you have no real say, no _real_ vote. One dollar, One vote; No dollars, No _real_ votes, you slave.
Eventually, the Feds will have all the gold+BitCoins. Quoting " The feds took down one of Bitcoin’s largest exchanges " by Russell Brandom and Sarah Jeong, July 29, 2017: << This week, one of Bitcoin’s largest and most notorious coin exchanges was brought down by law enforcement — and police and prosecutors are now beginning to explain why. On Thursday, the Department of Justice unsealed an indictment against Alexander Vinnik — thought to be the operator, or one of the operators of Bitcoin exchange BTC-e — charging him with 21 counts of money laundering and other related financial crimes. The counts range from operating an unlicensed money transmittal business to a variety of money laundering charges, including laundering associated with ransomware payouts and a theft from the now-defunct Mt Gox exchange. More generally, the indictment paints BTC-e as a hub of criminal activity, laundering the proceeds of everything from drug trafficking to ransomware attacks. As some suspected, Vinnik’s alleged crimes go beyond just operating the exchange. Feds believe he played a role in the theft of more than 800,000 bitcoin — about $400 million at the time — from Mt. Gox, a staggering loss that ultimately shuttered the exchange. According to the indictment, 530,000 of those bitcoin ended up passing through wallets controlled by or associated with Vinnik, although his role in the larger scheme remains unclear. >> https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/29/16060344/btce-bitcoin-exchange-takedown-mt-gox-theft-law-enforcement
