Struggle session. How the fuck is a country with billionaires legitimately Communist? I’m not a chud trying to start shit. I went along with most of the apologetics while living in the US, but I’m in HCMC now, and if this is Communism we’re living in a bizzaro world. Inequality is rampant. I lived in DC for two years and never saw a Maybach, but here I see them daily. Not to mention that there’s a 150% luxury tax on imports like that. Meanwhile, I see people digging through garbage looking for scraps to feed themselves. There’s no socialized medicine or government provided housing. I’ll admit I’m ignorant to theory, but if the theory can somehow excuse this shit, it must be more complicated than quantum physics. Not that it’s even close to the degradation the poor experience in the US (especially DC). There are no tent cities here, but the government doesn’t really do shit for the people as far as a I can tell. I imagine it’s the same in China but that’s pure speculation.

    Ultra-Luxury car brand currently owned by Mercedes-Bentz.

    And here's a fun fact, almost all nazi tank engines were made by them. These included the engines through Panzer I, II, III, IV and V, the Tiger I and II (Maybach HL230) and other heavy tanks: and also engines for half-tracks such as the Sd.Kfz. 251 personnel carrier and prime movers like the Sd.Kfz. 9.

      Yeah but the 'modern' Maybach brand is more of a re-invention of late 90s and 00s by the Daimler-Chrysler to build an uber luxury brand to cater to the superrich leech class amd compete with the likes of Rolls Royce.
