But what kind of property was it?
(hexbear.net)
"We had the entire country by the balls via holding a monopoly over a very specific and useful foodstuff and they just TOOK that from us and forced us to live like PEASANTS"
by the balls
Poland fact: most popular word for "balls" is "jaja" which means literally "eggs" too. So Mao destroying egg monopoly sounds even funnier.
Lol it's the same in Spanish: huevos
jajajajajajajajaja
I love this tweet. Egg monopoly in all of China is just such an insane concept
Right? And it's not like a manufactured good or a limited resource you can control either. They're eggs! All you need is a hen!
It's not that insane when you consider it not as monopoly in modern capitalist sense, but as kind of traditional regale or tax lease, which did happened in pre-PRC China all the time (and in feudalism elswhere too) - it wasn't somebody literally handling all the eggs, nor anything to do with egg production for the own needs of producers, but partial or entire tax from all the dedicated production and distribution (or maybe some form of relevant property tax in general) of the particular commodity being leased or given to person or family.
That said, eggs are rather unusual for a regale, and a China-wide monopoly for it was likely horrible exaggeration, but it could happen locally. What's more doubtful is that why it was liquidated only in the cultural revolution?
Most likely what that post really is about is just some local landlord starving peasants.
Sounds fucking awesome. Thank you communism for destroying egg monopoly. Please do it more often.
Communism is when monopolies get broken up by the state
is this real? like verified? or is it just trollsport?
It's a real tweet by a person with brainworms who most probably misunderstood the actual situation

That woman cannot be more than 40, right? In that time, pretty sure the only time China “takes” property is when you do criminal shit (so no different from any country). I’m guessing “her” property refers to the fact that her great grandpa or something was a landlord, so instead of living a normal working life she thinks she’s entitled to just sit around and collect rent from peasants on “her” property.
I knew a guy claimed to have had a multi billion dollar landlording portfolio seized by the Chinese state for no reason. Which I maintain was a hilarious prank
Good riddance.
The sense of entitlement to private property is truly stunning
literal entitlement
Xi took my egg empire 
human tights
?
tight
- Made In China
Can't believe Xi seduced her father 
I feel like the fact that property is so high up there kind of makes for bad optics
Above family, justice, and human rights. I'm surprised this lib actually thought of their father before property lol

Xi stop shitting my pants
PLEASE
Jesus christ she use to wear human tights. That's disgusting
This mfer out there wearing tights in size giraffe
wow i am sure this one single woman protesting xi jinping with vague slogans written in English is definitely a real protestor and not an actor in any way shape or form
This is SF cause he's at APEC this is probably real unfortunately
oh but the media is all about it... the local state media ran at least 3 or 4stories about the anti-china protests going on, eve giving time for the people to struggle greatly with explaining what exactly the problem was... they don't even bother interviewing anti-genocide protesters.. they just cut to stories about some israeli family with the most minor and fake grievances you've ever heard..
but state media is gonna be state media..can't expect anything different
The pro china counter protest was 20x larger.
Egg monopoly
Xi please take her back to China with you where people have rights and the rich go to jail when they commit crimes.

Boba shitlib can't even use her mother tongue, she's too busy using her own to polish biden's shoes.
She can't hold up a sign in Chinese while Xi is coming to visit because she knows she'll get hate crimed.
That's the world she's defending.
my eggs 
Bitch, you are in downtown Houston.
Yoo whats up with big Xi why did he take their father, not cool bro
I will not tolerate Xi's dastardly war on dads.
Probably a landlord or worse 
Maybe Xi is her father and she's mad at how busy he is with China and stuff.
Her dad is actually just a big fan of Xi and she’s saying Xi stole her father in the figurative sense like “Qanon stole my father” because all her dad does anymore is talk about how great Xi Jin Ping is. 😞
Dear Xi, please give me back my heart you stole <3
Xi Jinping can't give you back your father, only the supermarket dairy aisle can.
:please-xi: My people yearn for freedom
