How come so many that are against Communism are not out protesting against Corporations and Big Business that are in bed with Communist China? You do know that this benefits the Communist Government?

About 33 percent of the business and the majority of all Big Business is owned and run by the Communist Government.

When there is money to made, we will overlook Communism in other countries.

China has approximately 150,000 SOEs, of which around 50,000 (33 percent) are owned by the central government and the remainder by local governments. The central government directly controls and manages 102 strategic SOEs through the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), of which 66 are listed on stock exchanges domestically and/or internationally. SOEs, both central and local, account for 30 to 40 percent of total GDP and about 20 percent of China’s total employment. The percentage of SOE revenue spent on research and development is unknown. SOEs can be found in all sectors of the economy, from tourism to heavy industries.

China’s leading SOEs benefit from preferential government policies aimed at developing bigger and stronger “national champions.” SOEs enjoy favored access to essential economic inputs (land, hydrocarbons, finance, telecoms, and electricity) and exercise considerable power in markets like steel and minerals. SOEs have long enjoyed preferential access to credit and the ability to issue publicly traded equity and debt. SOEs also are not subject to the same tax burdens as their private sector competitors. According to some Chinese academics, provincial governments have used their power to manipulate industrial policies and deny operating licenses to domestic and foreign investors in order to persuade reluctant owners to sell out to bigger, state-owned suitors.

May that idiot not get medical help from a capitalist insurance system or care from a for profit hospital.

Morons.
The item was probably made in Communist China who produce a lot of our goods.
The same place Trump has his MAGA hats made. The irony!

The incident described in the OP isn't the same as the Vancouver incident in Sept.

Unless it is Halloween I have little sympathy for a man who masks his face.

Wow, I didn't expect quite so many commie lovers and sympathizers on here. Scary.

Still not quite sure how I'm the bad guy here. After all I wasn't the masked thug in the street, purposely trying to incite violence. Ironically, the mask probably contributed to this accident by partially blocking his view of the oncoming truck.

If it's any consolation prize, I'd feel the same if any masked protester inciting violence, including trump loving white supremacist far right crazies, were hit by a truck while being an idiot and running into traffic.

The fact that he was a self proclaimed communist and violent evil Antifa member was a nice touch though .

No, you weren't the masked thug in the street...you're the anonymous guy behind a keyboard posting stuff from RT.com.

Here's a consolation prize for you -- I'd be just as wtf about your post if the guy had been from the "patriot" group.

Perhaps you should research the Patriot Prayer bunch a bit before you talk about "inciting violence."

Good thing for the driver of that little truck it wasn't one of the Patriot Prayer bunch who ran out in front of it; truck would be totalled kinda like what happens up there when someone hits a moose.

There's plenty of videos on the internets of white trump trash making asinine fools of themselves, so I'll be waiting for you to post them.

Worst part is when a protester gets wrapped up in your driveshaft. They are a real mess to clean up and make the truck smell like sh*t for a week.
