Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC 
Didn't get to bed last night 
On the way the paper bag was on my knee 
Man, I had a dreadful flight 
I'm back in the USSR 
You don't know how lucky you are, boy 
Back in the USSR, yeah 

Been away so long I hardly knew the place 
Gee, it's good to be back home 
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case 
Honey disconnect the phone 
I'm back in the USSR 
You don't know how lucky you are, boy 
Back in the US 
Back in the US 
Back in the USSR 

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out 
They leave the West behind 
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout 
That Georgia's always on my my my my my my my my my mind 
Oh, come on 
Hu hey hu, hey, ah, yeah 
Yeah, yeah, yeah 
I'm back in the USSR 
You don't know how lucky you are, boys 
Back in the USSR 

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out 
They leave the West behind 
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout 
That Georgia's always on my my my my my my my my my mind 

Oh, show me round your snow peaked mountains way down south 
Take me to your daddy's farm 
Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out 
Come and keep your comrade warm 
I'm back in the USSR 
Hey, you don't know how lucky you are, boy 
Back in the USSR 
Oh, let me tell you honey

No- more like a gang. China operates the same way as parts of Queens New York that were once run by the Italian Mafia. Those areas were some of the safest from street crime in New York because justice would be done by the mob bosses before the police showed up. Anyone committing an armed robbery or rape in those areas would pray to be caught be the NYPD as their enforcement was a lot less brutal. Business owners paid protection money or risked having a nice guy named Rocco menacing the customers and breaking windows/legs.

 

The major difference between these areas and China would be that there were different mob families and the violence usually resulted from fighting between families or underlings trying to pick off the bosses in order to rise to power. The party is the only game in town in China. As for infighting in the party, who really knows? Doubt anyone on ECC has insight into that though there are rumors of power struggles and such.

 

As to the influence of the mob, most would agree it's a negative for a criminal organization to have so much influence over a neighborhood. However, a lot of locals supported the mobsters for maintaining law and order. It's not like they were randomly raping and pillaging innocent people. Crime rates generally rose in those neighborhoods when the crime families were dismantled by the police.

CCP/Mainlander culture is more like a cult. The main difference between an organized religion and a cult is that a cult is more new than established, it aggressively promotes values at the expense of its members' wellbeing, it attacks the establishment without regard for collateral damage, and its members are nearly all extremists who will not listen to reason.

When a Mainlander mob decides it wants something, it will lie, cry, cheat, swindle, threaten, copy, steal, defraud, denounce, plagiarize, burglarize, maim, torture and kill who it needs to, to get what it wants.

Organized religions (and organized nations) pick their battles and win decisively. Cults hit and run against many targets to wear everybody down.

coineineagh:

and FYI, it's YEA or Nay, not YAY or Nay. but it's an awesome submission to theoatmeal.com for a new installment of Minor Differences.

Maybe in the early days of Chinese communism with the whole cult of personality, and worshiping communist values.

 

Today I think most citizens are quite cynical about the government. Kind of like doubting Catholics that only go to church on Christmas and Easter and roll their eyes during the sermon, arms crossed.
