Okay, are trade tariffs a disqualifying criterion then?

2018-11-23 14:52:51 UTC  

Its not how we define it its how the State defines it in China and how they make it look to the outside world

2018-11-23 14:52:53 UTC  

and am *pretending* to be

2018-11-23 14:53:03 UTC  

no, it's not how it works lol, it's how it functions

2018-11-23 14:53:04 UTC  

But hey, I never said it was good capitalism

2018-11-23 14:53:08 UTC  

Its Sun tsu in all of it

2018-11-23 14:53:10 UTC  

😏

2018-11-23 14:53:28 UTC  

when china puffs its chest its weak while it pretends to be strong .

2018-11-23 14:53:50 UTC  

When they back down at Trump they are strong and plan to make themselves look weak

2018-11-23 14:54:06 UTC  

You cant have state run capitalism, its literally in opposition to it

State run capitalism is a simple term for State run for-profit business

for it to be capitalist it would have to be privately owned, not owned by the state

2018-11-23 14:54:20 UTC  

cuz people understand capitalism to mean making profit

2018-11-23 14:54:33 UTC  

Reminder that this is the definition of capitalism from basically every source

2018-11-23 14:54:36 UTC  

Or in otherwords, planned capitalist economy

2018-11-23 14:54:36 UTC  

Yes the work around is china allows Certian people to run these companys

2018-11-23 14:54:40 UTC  

hence its state run

2018-11-23 14:54:43 UTC  

Okay, so how much does a state have to be involved in the markets before it is no longer capitalist?

2018-11-23 14:54:48 UTC  

they have to be members of the party

2018-11-23 14:54:59 UTC  

every form of capitalism is planned, private companies plan for business too 😉

2018-11-23 14:55:03 UTC  

How much would America need to get involved in her markets for it to no longer be capitalist? What are the criteria?

2018-11-23 14:55:04 UTC  

>capitalism is private ownership
>ergo state ownership is capitalism
no this is too dumb now

2018-11-23 14:55:22 UTC  

i know But not all goverments Controll your fucking expenses to the T if you dont Sing the national anthem wrong

2018-11-23 14:55:24 UTC  

Tbh whenever I see green text I ignore it

2018-11-23 14:55:32 UTC  

Okay, but there are federally owned lands in the US, no?

2018-11-23 14:55:34 UTC  

@Undead Mockingbird depending on who you ask, it already is socialist.

2018-11-23 14:55:38 UTC  

Cause it shows you have used 4chan too much

2018-11-23 14:55:46 UTC  

Well, I'm asking you now.

2018-11-23 14:55:56 UTC  

Why cant people fucking do research

2018-11-23 14:56:09 UTC  

Idk really, heading too much in the wrong direction.

2018-11-23 14:56:13 UTC  

personally i'd say it would be socialist if the state makes money from a company outside taxes, and can have influence on their business actions

2018-11-23 14:56:13 UTC  

I have. And it's still confusing to me, TBH.

2018-11-23 14:56:26 UTC  

tbh redefining capitalism so that everything is capitalist is brainlet tier

2018-11-23 14:56:28 UTC  

Aka towards socialism. How close? Hard to say.

2018-11-23 14:56:41 UTC  

Then everyone is socialist

2018-11-23 14:56:56 UTC  

@Dr.Wol your correct . if the state controlls business actions to the point of Changing profit margin of who it can do business with without having sanctions in place

2018-11-23 14:56:59 UTC  

not everyone is capitalist != everyone is socialist

2018-11-23 14:57:01 UTC  

Just a matter of degrees I guess

2018-11-23 14:57:01 UTC  

So let's approach it this way:

What is the MOST socialist thing America does at the moment?

2018-11-23 14:57:14 UTC  

But like hey, you either capitalist or your not?

2018-11-23 14:57:17 UTC  

Am I right

2018-11-23 14:57:19 UTC  

Does it not get involved in the market by enforcing gender quotas?

2018-11-23 14:57:22 UTC  

mandatory healthcare
