How can there be billionaires in Communism? If the means of production are owned by society as a whole, how do billions flow into the coffers of selected few?

President Xi Jinping is a billionaire. And the chinese police are kidnapping book-sellers that sell a tell-all book that reveals that.

And what about the princelings?

And what about the corrupt political-economic networks fighting each other over who gets to embezzle the most money from the chinese people? (There are rumors that Xi Jinping is cracking down on corruption precisely to attack rivalling networks and protect his own.)
