Some bank executives and business heads have to take around a third of working time to study Xi Thought, joining activities and courses, or reading four books from Xi every month, according to people familiar with the matter. Attendance is mandatory this year and they also need to submit papers on what they’ve learned.
Frankly i don’t believe that teaching capitalists Marxism does anything but give them ideas on how to better exploit the working class. Many capitalists understand Marxism quite well actually, they are more aware of the class struggle than most workers are and they are consciously and constantly fighting to improve their position over workers. They understand concepts such as the usefulness of having a reserve army of (unemployed) labor in driving down wages by creating competition among workers, maximizing extraction of surplus value, atomizing workers to prevent them from exercising collective power, etc.
So while i appreciate what China is trying to do, i think it is pointless and misguided to try and teach CEOs and other corporate higher ups Marxism. At best it is a minor nuisance for them to have a small amount of their time wasted each day. It would be much more effective to teach the workers instead. China could pass a law mandating that workers must attend at least one ideological education class a week, during work hours and paid for by the employer.
Lol amazing
We should start doing that with the crackers. Get caught aggressing, micro or macro, that’s a sentencing to Fanon and hooks
imagine someone hearing a knock on their door and it’s the cracker containment squad holding a copy of The Wretched of the Earth haha
One of 'em pins 'em down while the other hits the Reverend Father Uncle Ruckus (no relation) while holding it open lmfao
Now if China can get them to read Marxism
Xi Jinping Thought like Mao Zedong Thought is just an extension of Marxism-Leninism.
Yes, I understand that. But I mean like getting them to read all that, with Marxism itself

This makes a whole lot more sense.
No to belabor the point, but there are multiple books written as essentially: “Marx for Capitalists: How to Undermine Proletarian Class Struggle”
