Socialist Morality

This is fantastic Communist mumbojumbo:

The development of a socialist morality should be stressed and strengthened during the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way and the advancement of the socialist modernization drive, Chinese President Hu Jintao said on Tuesday.

Hu, also general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), made the remarks when he met 53 newly selected national "moral models" at the Great Hall of the People.

There is a lot of talk about "socialist morality"; however, it is never defined. I would argue that there is no such thing as "socialist morality". Individually, the Chinese are wonderful people as long as you aren't doing business with them. But there is no concept of "love thy brother". The nonprofits in this country were started by westerners. You won't find anyone interested in helping the less advantaged.

He said the campaign to select these role models, launched by the Civilization Office of the CPC Central Committee, All China Federation of Trade Unions, Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Youth League and All China Women's Federation on Sept. 1, will significantly improve the moral standards of Chinese citizens.

The "Civilization Office". Only in China.

Morality is a key factor to the country's development, social harmony and the people's happiness, Hu said.

"It's part of the building of a socialist spiritual civilization that a social environment, in which men and women are equal, the elderly respected, the young protected and the poor supported, and people are tolerant to each other, should be established," he noted.

This is not a spiritual society. By a longshot. If that is what they are hoping to accomplish, they need to start with another country. Maybe Iran.

People aren't particularly tolerant of one another and no one is going to support someone else outside of his/her family if he/she can help it. Equality isn't too much of a problem, and people generally respect the elderly in their families.
