@snake Communism isn't just economics

Are you saying it’s not a capitalist country because it’s authoritarian?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_capitalism

It literally is State Capitalist

No, we are saying it isn't capitalist because it doesn't espouse capitalism nor define itself as such

Exactly

Glad you were able to figure it out

"some people"

"some retards"

Yeah we can get into why they promote socialism and defines itself as socialist. But if we look at it as objectively as we can it’s state capitalist

"State capitalism is an economic system in which the state undertakes commercial (i.e. for-profit) economic activity and where the means of production are organized and managed as state-owned business enterprises (including the processes of capital accumulation, wage labor and centralized management), or where there is otherwise a dominance of corporatized government agencies (agencies organized along business-management practices) or of publicly listed corporations in which the state has controlling shares.[1] Marxist literature defines state capitalism as a social system combining capitalism with ownership or control by a state— by this definition, a state capitalist country is one where the government controls the economy and essentially acts like a single huge corporation, extracting the surplus value from the workforce in order to invest it in further production.[2] "

Ok lenim @Monstrous Moonshine

Notice how they fixate on the latter part of that paragraph and not the former

so hold on here.

if china is state capitalist

then how was the USSR not?

imagine thinking colonialism and slavery are the same thing as capitalism

I was told that mercantilism is the same as capitalism

Hurr durr

The USSR isn’t real communism because real communism is impossible

The only issue with slavery is now we have nigger infestation we cant get rid of

if china today is state capitalist

then the USSR was state capitalist

Pure equality or lack of hierarchy is autistic

because the USSR

took the means of production

Then disregard the utopian ideals and focus on what happened you mong @snake

and made the country

I was told the genocide in the congo was caused by capitalism lol

one big corp

your definition quite frankly
