Are you aware of what happened to the landlords in China or do you mean the landlords weren't human?

It only shows us that current Chinese regime is a civilisational dead end. Also, by that point, they didn't have the money. China was overpopulated and did not have marginal income to pay them, and the productivity was overall too low. No one in China had money, so force ruled.

Creating an all-encompassing historical 'rule' like 'money always wins' and then discounting evidence of a blatant counter-example is not generally a method that ends in good outcomes.

See: all major failed political movements based on an ideology that refused to adapt to conditions that did not line up with its dogma.
