TLDR: In recent years, as China has suffered from an economic downturn, the rate of random mass attacks has soared. After three random mass killings unfolded in Chinese coastal cities in the last two weeks, some people on social media echoed the official line of harsh punishment, while others called for freedom of expression so that people could express their grievances and the authorities could address their pain in time.
Some also suggested economic reform to boost the employment rate and policy reform, such as social welfare and labour laws, to improve working conditions. In short, people need to see hope for their future.

However, as anticipated, the Chinese authorities are fixated on their standard social control handbook. While social profiling is common in China through it’s social credit system, on Weibo, many said that the Chinese Communist Party’s grassroots branches have started profiling residents into additional categories, namely, “4-without” (四無) and “5-failure” (五失).
The “4-without” are those without a spouse and children, job and regular income, normal social connections, and assets like property and cars. The “5-failure” are those who “fail” in their investments, lives, relationships, and suffer from mental illness.
**The party branches were told to pay special attention to people labelled “4-without” and “5-failure” as they are assumed to have nothing to lose, and thus might be more likely to harm society. **
However, such a measure won’t relieve the social strain. One social media user pointed out that the two social groups are victims of an unjust system and need assistance, rather than further social labels and control.
Having them screened out, and then what, put in jail? [People labelled] 4-without and 5-failure have not broken the law, and almost all of them are in need of economic assistance. The CCP does not have a comprehensive social welfare system, so how can it let these people who are in trouble get through their difficulties? The CCP keeps giving local governments money to solve their debt crisis, and it keeps pumping money into the stability maintenance system, but it is not willing to spend any money to solve the real problem! Shouldn’t the CCP know which is more effective: damming or dredging the river?
Holy shit, was the sarcasm not obvious or are those downvotes from ccp trolls?
The definition of communism is a classless society. It Couldn’t be more on the nose.
There are a number of people that make the points you make unirononically. I wish there was a sarcasm font but you need the /S
I used to always put the /s because as an autist i am usually the one to miss sarcasm but i noticed that on lemmy pretty much none else did so i sort of stopped doing so also.
I am ware that the ccp themselves likes to pretend they are socialist/communist, it is something i have always ridiculed.
I thought that was anarchy
*Classless. You are correct stateless is anarchy i mixed them up. But i support both tbh so for me they may aswell mean the same thing.
No gods, no masters, no slaves and no borders!
