You're not missing anything. I shouldn't have included the pic but I had just seen it minutes before reading the post and it felt like it fit. The one simple trick is what you said: eating the rich.

In addition to what MattsAlt said, the people in possession of those things still rely on you and me to meet all their wants and needs. So a crucial first step before they become edible is for us to stop meeting their wants and needs. Exactly who "possesses" what starts to become a little more ambiguous when that happens.
Beat inflation at the grocery store (and everywhere else) with this one simple trick. Capitalists hate it!
They have published some real bullshit before, but yeah, when I check in from time to time wsws.org is usually pretty good. Like surprisingly good for Trots.
I'd be curious to read your multiparagraph analysis of the Black Lodge too, once you're rested up enough to delve into it.
China is indeed moving in the right direction. That doesn't mean I think China is a force of good in the world.
Then what would? If the fact that China is doing good in the world is not enough for you to think "it a force for good in the world" then what does it need to do? Oh, I forgot, you think "all nation states are bad by definition" and unironically believe that the more people a government represents, the more evil it is. So in order for China to be "a force for good in the world" China simply has to cease to exist. Got it. Nope, that doesn't align with US interests at all. 
It's a nation state and should be subject to criticism. And all I'm saying is that there are people who will religiously dogpile you if you try to do that, and I call those people tankies.
Literally no one on lemmy has ever said China is above criticism. I dare you to find a single instance of that ever happening.
lmao. I unironically believe this though.
The more you concentrate power, the harder it is to keep bad actors from abusing said power.
What makes you think the power over those billion+ people is all "concentrated"? Could it be (gasp!) that the power is largely distributed among those people who overwhelmingly support that government? This is just capitalist-realism-brained misunderstanding of how communist parties work.
Most Americans approve of capitalism. Does that make it good too?
No, but that's certainly not what makes it bad.
China is a government that rules over billions of people. That is, by definition, evil.
Funny how 95% of the Chinese population approves of and rates favorably this terrible "ruling over" they are being subjected to.
New theory just dropped, everyone: The more people a government represents, the more evil that government is.
Anyone who uses the term "tankie" unironically to disparage other leftists is a lib. Anyone who uses the term ironically to make fun of those who don't is a leftist. But you're right, conservatives don't know what it means, they also don't know that they are libs as well.
I maintain that the batshit conspiracy theories were cultivated and amplified by three letter agencies and the like for the express purpose of poisoning the well with regards to the actual real conspiracies that did and do happen. Now whenever you talk about these looney tunes cartoon villain shit crimes and events, it's easy as fuck for anyone to write you off as you yourself being looney with with "that's just a conspiracy theory" as if conspiracies don't happen. But look people, conspiracies do happen. All the fucking time. And it's open knowledge that cannot be denied, it's even admitted to. "That's a conspiracy theory" is not a remotely valid reason for thinking it didn't happen! Meanwhile the false batshit stuff gets pushed relentlessly at every opportunity, even into mainstream pop culture, and that's what ends up getting treated with a "hmmm, well maybe" by the same people who will scoff at you for trying to tell them of real things that can be verified. It's truly maddening.
Popular belief that all conspiracy theories are each just "a conspiracy theory" is itself a conspiracy.
(And like all conspiracies, when you try to explain this, you're disregarded for pedaling in conspiracy theories.)
