The Chinese parliament

Yup, this is the national Chinese parliament. And so the great Chinese Revolution has come to this! It didn’t work that well with the gang of four so they reduced it to one. That way there’s unity & no dissent at all. Especially if you maintain high levels of police & military control, cultivate an enriched group of wannabe capitalists sucking off the body politic, & imprison any plebeian voices who say this isn’t working for them. But hark, in the distance you can hear the thunderous awakening of a mighty angry working force, including children & millions of migrants, who don’t like a return to feudalism under the guise of restoring capitalism.
