You have no doubt seen pictures of the crowds in Hong Kong, demonstrating against the established government of that Chinese territory. I would like to explain why these young people are misguided and cannot be allowed to prevail.

The great Communist Party of China is the sole representative of the people and was founded to eliminate both class conflict and the capitalist running dogs of the bourgoisie.
Prior to the triumph of the working class China was riven with greed, huge disparities of wealth, poverty, famine, and violence. The dictatorship of the proletariat has led to the resolution of the class struggle, which the ill-informed and poorly educated youth of Hong Kong now wish to re-introduce. We are rapidly abolishing poverty, famine and violence.

Within its membership the Chinese Communist Party embraces the smartest people in China, trained to rule the country with selfless patience, wisdom and care for all. In order to attract the finest minds it has been thought necessary to remunerate them according to their natural talents, which is why my colleagues eattrn more than peasants. Their children, are now economically well off because of their fine education and superior genes. The Party includes all the most exemplary people in the land.

Never in history has any country had such a long period of peace or a population so content and prosperous. This is owing to the policies put in place by the Party, without which the country would dissolve into squabbling regions and even warlord-ism. There is no place in China for what is called “Western democracy”, which ensures the power and influence of the capitalist corporations and of the politicians who curry favor with them. It is true that there have been instances of corruption, but they are minor and the Party is punishing the miscreants.

Meanwhile Hong Kong is Chinese and the People’s Republic has the right to determine who governs it, not some ex-imperialist power. In all the history of the Party there has been no instance of its policies being wrong and misguided, and the ignorant students out in the streets of Hong Kong should recognize this fact and be content to be part of a worker’s paradise, not a bourgeois free-for-all.
