He Zhen's anarchist ideology questions a variety of socioeconomic and political realities. Her critique that a capitalistic society is first and foremost ruled by money. She draws comparisons by juxtaposing how those who provide the labor (i.e. farmers) are often the least likely people to actually be able to buy the very products their labor produces. The wealthy, who do not perform the labor but own the capital, are able to purchase the goods/services provided by those who, despite providing the goods/services cannot. She says the root and source of this discrepancy and evil is money.
