It couldnt even last without war

2018-06-21 08:12:40 UTC

60-80 million deaths attributed to fascism? Where'd you get those numbers?

2018-06-21 08:12:48 UTC

WWII

2018-06-21 08:13:04 UTC

All of WWII's deaths are attributable to fascism? It's all fascism's fault?

2018-06-21 08:13:17 UTC

Who would you rather blame?

2018-06-21 08:13:18 UTC

Even if I wasn't a fascist I would be calling you a moron.

2018-06-21 08:13:49 UTC

I would make the logical claim that at most the deaths of the side the fascists were fighting can only dubiously be attributed to "fascism" broadly as an ideology.

2018-06-21 08:13:56 UTC

And I'd like you to explain more about how China is communist.

2018-06-21 08:14:20 UTC

I asked you who would you rather blame

2018-06-21 08:14:28 UTC

not why you think someone else did it

2018-06-21 08:14:35 UTC

stop avoiding my questions

2018-06-21 08:14:44 UTC

I legit thought you were a troll originally

2018-06-21 08:15:03 UTC

Which specific aspects of daily life in China are communist exactly? The existence of a strong emerging middle class (petit-bourgeoisie), the existence of private ownership of the means of production (that's as anti-Marxist as it gets), and a materialistic society focused on upward gain? China literally has something called the Chinese Dream modeled on the American Dream.

2018-06-21 08:15:07 UTC

You know absolutely nothing.

2018-06-21 08:15:25 UTC

Please, please, please read into Deng Xiaoping. At least know who he is.

2018-06-21 08:15:26 UTC

Im not explaining to you how china is communist, Its fucking common sense

2018-06-21 08:15:29 UTC

Because you clearly know nothing.

2018-06-21 08:15:35 UTC

Google it if you need proof

2018-06-21 08:15:38 UTC

its well known

2018-06-21 08:15:39 UTC

I don't think you even know what communism is.

2018-06-21 08:15:57 UTC

The government owns the means of production

2018-06-21 08:16:12 UTC

No, China is a state with a ruling government party that claims to be communist to hold onto power because the basis of the state's existence is a communist rebellion fro the nationalist government that now resides in Taiwan.

2018-06-21 08:16:18 UTC

No, they literally do not.

2018-06-21 08:16:54 UTC

Ok, Im just going to copy and paste an article on how china is communist for you to argue with

2018-06-21 08:16:58 UTC

brb

2018-06-21 08:17:06 UTC

3.1% of China's businesses are owned by the state and roughly 30% of China's GDP is publicly owned.

2018-06-21 08:17:18 UTC

i.e., the average publicly owned Chinese business is 10x bigger than its private counterpart.

2018-06-21 08:17:35 UTC

What this means in practice is that China uses SOE's to exert geopolitical power overseas, such as in the case of Ecuador.

2018-06-21 08:17:36 UTC

30%

2018-06-21 08:17:40 UTC

That means

2018-06-21 08:17:45 UTC

But it also means that 70% of the economy is PRIVATELY OWNED.

2018-06-21 08:17:45 UTC

all the large buisnesses

2018-06-21 08:17:55 UTC

30% is not even a majority you brainlet.

2018-06-21 08:18:10 UTC

The majority of the economy is owned privately and the VAST majority of businesses are privately owned.

2018-06-21 08:18:29 UTC

97% of all businesses in China are privately owned. Think about that.

2018-06-21 08:18:51 UTC

The Chinese government only uses SOE's to exert geopolitical power overseas. That is pretty much their only reason for existence.

2018-06-21 08:19:01 UTC

They actually perform poorly compared to privately owned businesses, as expected.

2018-06-21 08:19:17 UTC

They're funded by the state at expense to the state. Just like any publicly owned business.

2018-06-21 08:19:40 UTC

Just face it: You have no fucking clue what you're talking about,

2018-06-21 08:19:43 UTC

Go to sleep.

2018-06-21 08:19:50 UTC

nearly every chinese bank is state owned (which lets them control a majority of buisnesses)

2018-06-21 08:19:53 UTC

the media is state owned

2018-06-21 08:20:07 UTC

BBC is state owned. Is Britain communist?

2018-06-21 08:20:15 UTC

the land is state owned

2018-06-21 08:20:25 UTC

State-owned banks are a common feature of developed economies. Guess all tertiary economies are communist.

2018-06-21 08:20:37 UTC

👌 😂 👌

2018-06-21 08:20:57 UTC

Politically, China is as Communist as ever. The country operates under the highly centralized, single-party rule of the Communist Party. Every region, whether it's a province or a city, has two sets of leadership: local government functionaries and Communist Party officials. While there is overlap between the two groups—after all, government workers must be Communist Party members—the top local government leader must always answer to the top party leader. The governor of a province might make day-to-day decisions about filling potholes and snow removal, but the party official controls macro decisions like which businesses get state money and prime real estate.

2018-06-21 08:21:24 UTC

"Politically", yes. I already said multiple times they have a communist ruling government.

2018-06-21 08:21:32 UTC

Therefore

2018-06-21 08:21:33 UTC

But to say they're faithful to Marxism is an entirely different thing. They aren't.

2018-06-21 08:21:35 UTC

they are communist

2018-06-21 08:21:41 UTC

That is true

2018-06-21 08:21:42 UTC

No, pay attention to historical context.

2018-06-21 08:21:55 UTC

theyre not marxist communist

2018-06-21 08:21:56 UTC

but

2018-06-21 08:21:59 UTC

they are communist

2018-06-21 08:22:07 UTC

Mao took power in China from the Nationalist government. The entire legitimacy of the state hinges on socialist revolution, as the Nationalist government still exists in Taiwan.

2018-06-21 08:22:25 UTC

Communism is explicitly Marxist. You have no fucking clue at all what you're talking about,

2018-06-21 08:22:29 UTC

it's one hot take after another.

2018-06-21 08:22:38 UTC

So is china communist?

2018-06-21 08:22:39 UTC

You are trying to bullshit your way out of this but the truth is you have no clue.

2018-06-21 08:22:41 UTC

You said its not

2018-06-21 08:22:43 UTC

I said it is

2018-06-21 08:22:49 UTC

I copy and pasted an article

2018-06-21 08:22:51 UTC

b-but they have a comunist ruling party hurr

2018-06-21 08:22:55 UTC

you get really defensive and butthurt because I proved you wrong

2018-06-21 08:23:09 UTC

I'm just confused about what part you don't understand.

2018-06-21 08:23:29 UTC

Lets ask a random person

2018-06-21 08:23:34 UTC

All it said is that there's a communist ruling party, and ergo so-called communist officials have some control over local affairs. That' how it is in every country basically.

2018-06-21 08:23:36 UTC

"Is china communist?"

2018-06-21 08:23:44 UTC

what will they say

2018-06-21 08:24:11 UTC

What part do you not understand?

2018-06-21 08:24:33 UTC

What will they say

2018-06-21 08:24:35 UTC

Communist ruling party. Historical conflict with Taiwan. Taiwan still exists. To forfeit pretense of communism would put the legitimacy of the state into question.

2018-06-21 08:24:38 UTC

dont doge my questions

2018-06-21 08:24:44 UTC

If we ask a normal person

2018-06-21 08:24:49 UTC

If they know what they're talking about they'll say it isn't.

2018-06-21 08:24:56 UTC

Most "normal people" are clueless.

2018-06-21 08:25:00 UTC

What will the majority of people say

2018-06-21 08:25:20 UTC

It doesnt matter if YOU think theyre clueless

2018-06-21 08:25:38 UTC

Alright, if YOU think some random article is worth anything since you can't formulate your own arguments, I'll start posting articles.

2018-06-21 08:25:42 UTC

"Going by what communism – as defined by Karl Marx – has meant traditionally, Professor Shaun Breslin from the University of Warwick would struggle to label modern day China as communist, mostly because the country’s objectives have little to do with class.

“The Communist Party is there to deliver what they deem to be national goals and priorities and objectives, so there’s no class-based analysis at the heart of this,” he said.

“A lot of traditional Marxists would say once you start and finish with the nation, it’s something else. It’s a form of, I don’t want to call it national socialism because of the connotations with different nations and eras, but it is about… these people’s perceptions of the national good, rather than the class good.”

“That’s why I don’t think you can consider it to be anything that traditional communists would necessarily recognise, although that doesn’t mean it can’t be a form of socialism,” he added."

2018-06-21 08:26:10 UTC

"However, if you look at the Gini coefficient - Wikipedia, you will find that China has a much higher ranking on gc than the vast majority of Capitalist countries, which means China has a much higher disparity between the rich and the poor. (China Income Inequality Among World’s Worst) According to Karl Marx, the founder of Communism theory, Communism would be the cooperative society based on common ownership of the means of production. In this sense, China is no where near a typical Communist country.

In reality, it boiled down to this, CPC's self claimed “socialism with Chinese characteristics” is de facto Crony capitalism - Wikipedia regardless of what you call."

2018-06-21 08:26:46 UTC

"Communism is defined by workers owning the means of production and, as such has traditionally stood in opposition to capitalist systems where industry is controlled by private owners for profit."

2018-06-21 08:27:33 UTC

Im going to do exactly what you did

2018-06-21 08:27:39 UTC

and go back to the original conversation

2018-06-21 08:27:40 UTC

"Simply put, a dose of decentralization and incentives introduced into a communist system unleashed people’s animal spirits for wealth creation that turned China into the world’s second largest economy.

Going forward, China needs much more than a dose of incentives. It needs the economic freedom to innovate, and that requires a pro-market regime nurtured by a premarket political party.

That’s why it’s time for the CCP to consider changing its name in the upcoming 19th party Congress."

2018-06-21 08:27:46 UTC

because im too lazy to defend my case again

2018-06-21 08:27:55 UTC

Yeah, you've repeatedly shown that.

2018-06-21 08:28:01 UTC

You did it aswell dumbass

2018-06-21 08:28:03 UTC

You have no clue what you're talking about.

2018-06-21 08:28:06 UTC

When?

2018-06-21 08:28:07 UTC

You told me

2018-06-21 08:28:12 UTC

russia is european only

2018-06-21 08:28:17 UTC

im not the clueless one

2018-06-21 08:28:25 UTC

Then when I proved it wrong

2018-06-21 08:28:30 UTC

you hopped out of the conversation

2018-06-21 08:28:30 UTC

I said to categorize it as Asian on any grounds but geographic would be silly, not that it was exclusively a European country.

2018-06-21 08:28:39 UTC

And you have to be braindead to think that's something worth arguing over.

2018-06-21 08:28:43 UTC

It's really pure semantics.
