China
Thing is ussr was unfair to those unfortunate in gulags
China stopped collapsing when they stopped being communist.
still communist, giving citizens an allowance to buy shit
not the same as capitalism
The soviet union used an extractive economy that benefit a select few (forced labour, forced relocation, removal of rights, centralization of power) to create brief economic prosperity until its eventual collapse.
An extractive economy cannot adapt (fear of creative destruction
china STILL IS COMMUNISM
You're right. China's The Nazis now.
@Scale_e china is still not in good shape, they might actually be undergoing the needed "glorious revolution" via hk but it is yet to be decided.
Still. National Socialism is still Socialism.
Big # 1 Chinaa for China # 1
capitalism would require people get to KEEP their own money and spend it as they see fit; they cannot; capitalism would ALSO allow those most successful at something to keep a majority portion of their earnings proportionally; they cannot
After complaining about the Imperialist powers extracting resources from Africa the Soviet Union hating this decided to create the paramount extractive economy in their own nation, imao
China is communism, giving people an allowance which is ALOT different than earning a salary
Honestly what China actually is now isn'
Isn't obvious unless you start reading in detail into it
communism is okay if iits nazbol
U could buy shit in soviet union too it doesnt matter unless ppl have right of private enterprise
property rights, yes
china doesn't have property rights
Are you saying the SU was capitalist? imao
china doesn't meet the definition of a capitalist country
Again, not communist.
Some goods are subsidized.
They have a social welfare.
Sure.
*But the government does not own the means of production.*
*They don’t set prices.*
They just regulate them up the wazoo.
@ManAnimal and yet its the number 2 super power
set to be number 1
within 25 years
i guess the superior systems do rise to the top 😉
@BabaBooey lol
you don't undertstand what CAPITALISM really is, do you?
Government has their hands all over all corporations in china from what I understand
I’m not saying China is fully capitalist.
'means of production' was Marx's critique of capitaism
it isn't the definition
it's an argument AGAINST capitalism
I’m just saying they’re not communist anymore.
If you want to be autistic no country is communist only socialist
they ARE communist
