Some are more equal than others<\/a>, I guess:<\/p>\n

Nearly 2,000 officials in central China have violated the nation’s “one child” family planning policy, further revealing difficulties in implementing population controls.
\nFamily planning departments have exposed 1,968 officials in populous Hunan province who have breached the law, Xinhua news agency said Sunday.
\nOne “national” level official surnamed Li even went so far as to sire four children with his four different mistresses, the report said.
\nThe local family planning commission caught 21 national and local legislators, 24 political advisers and 112 businessmen violating the birth control policies in the province that boasts a population of 66 million.
\n[…]
\nGenerally, urban families can have one child and rural families can have two if the first is a girl.
\nBut in recent years the policy has been routinely ignored in rural areas, while the newly rich in Chinese cities have opted to pay fines and suffer social penalties in order to have more than one child.
\n[…]
\n“However, there have been increasing reports of officials, tycoons and entertainment stars having more than one child, causing grave public concern.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is why the pampered elites in our country don’t have a problem adopting communism, nothing would change for them. They would be above the law just as officials and the rich are above the law in China.
\nCommunism is a system that works counter to the nature man. Man is basically self-centered but communism calls for man to go against his nature for the greater good. Man really can’t do that and wants more than everyone else. There is no true equality because those in power will inevitably take advantage of the system for their own comfort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
