Lin Sizhi paused slightly, then continued: "Let me ask you, suppose a dictator who controls everything claims he has no private property, just like an emperor declaring he is frugal, 'only eight sets of clothes per season', would you find it touching or ridiculous?"
Qin Yao thought for a moment: "It would be ridiculous.
"Because for a dictator, he doesn't need any private property; the whole country is his private property.
"Power is something more valuable than wealth. Once he has absolute power, whether to acquire wealth depends solely on whether he wants to or not."
Lin Sizhi nodded approvingly: "Hmm? Not bad, you're smarter than I thought."
Qin Yao was a bit annoyed: "I'm not that dumb to begin with!
"But isn't this a completely different situation from our community?
"Fu Chen and Li Renshu, from any angle, are very far from being dictators or emperors, right? You can't use such extreme examples to argue this is a slippery slope fallacy."
