I remember looking for porn for the first time at a buddies house and we couldn't even figure it out. It never dawned on us to type "porn" into the search engine. Just two 13 year olds going "type in girls, damn, ok, try babes. Nothing? What about chicks?"
I haven't really looked deeply into this issue but what caught my eye was the claim that a 30% fee was excessive. I'm no insider into video game publishing but 30% is the standard retail markup for many things. If you bought a candy bar today, it probably cost the mini mart you bought it from 70% of what they're charging.

I'd imagine in a society like China with tight control of information and restrictions on criticism of government and officials, they're be many isolated incidents that would be swept under the rug like all scandals rather than warrant a specific conspiracy. But then it's hard to get a feel for where things are since the Chinese started using technology to clamp down on corruption by low level party officials.
So you don’t think, maybe, some groups of men are more likely to be rapey than other groups?
Sure. And in a given society, they gravitate to positions, lifestyles, and occupations that help them rape much like pedophiles are often drawn to teaching or being youth pastors.
I think, actually, some political movements are worse than others
People with a right wing outlook on life are, in my opinion, way more likely to be rapey.
Not necessarily within small groups but within any given political movement. Law of averages; there's a few creepy rapey (usually but not exclusively) men in every large grouping of people.
Wouldn’t you think that such a person would naturally seek out positions of power
You've never heard of Joseph Stalin?
Also, where are the Jeffrey Epsteins of Cuba, Vietnam, and China
Well, Jeffrey Epstein was a blackmailer who used his Island to gather Kompromat on people. In that regard, the communist equivalent would be the KGB. If you mean in regards to using power to achieve sex, there were historically large numbers of corrupt lower party officials in China with mistresses' prior to reforms. If you mean specifically raping kids, then Mao Zedong was alleged to fuck 14 year olds.
Chomsky is a member of the Intelligentsia with celebrity giving him unique access to the upper echelons of society far above what would otherwise be "his station" even when his expressed political beliefs are in opposition to what they believe.
You seem to believe that everyone wants to go to lavish rape parties
Not at all. The meme we're commenting on specifically mentions Epstein Island and the lack of MLs there. I wasn't suggesting that most or all MLs would go if given the chance but you certainly wouldn't see zero.
Communist parties derive their power from popular support from the working classes
Political power flows from the barrel of a gun, not popular support. But of course strict control of News, Education, public discourse, and suppression of criticism really helps with the popular support.
State violence is used against fascists, sabateurs, capitalists, and landlords
as well as the workers
why there was such dramatic improvements
A phenomena that has occurred in plenty of other countries
studied Marxism and taught it in universities, and more
Priests, much like Bolshevik party officials, exist to maintain the system of control over the working class on behalf of their rulers and religion is widely taught in universities just like Marxist-Leninism was.
Marx has some interesting things to say, he should definitely be required reading, but Marxists treat Das Kapital like Christians treat the Bible.
