the government owns businesses, land, and the means of production overall

2018-11-23 14:38:11 UTC  

Let's just say your right beeman

2018-11-23 14:38:26 UTC  

What do you call a market, run by the government?

2018-11-23 14:38:39 UTC  

You're both wrong, codes and beeman

2018-11-23 14:38:44 UTC  

But, it is a market insofar as you have freedom to market products/service and freely make purchases as a consumer.

2018-11-23 14:38:49 UTC  

Has there been any confirmation from the FBI stating that they do indeed label the proud boys an extremist organization with ties to white nationalism? (I mean beyond the general "we give state governments things to watch out for all the time" statement)

2018-11-23 14:38:53 UTC  

China knows socialism can not work for state profits,

So they technically lease their companies to managers/CEO's etc to make profit for the state and those people can have a share of the earnings to live a comfy life

2018-11-23 14:39:06 UTC  

I guess you can say that there are "pockets" of free markets.

2018-11-23 14:39:12 UTC  

cuz the companies are part of the state

2018-11-23 14:39:15 UTC  

Beeman, china is not communist even if their party is communist

2018-11-23 14:39:19 UTC  

>freely
so china will allow competition for state run/owned businesses?

2018-11-23 14:39:21 UTC  

Communism requires a classless, stateless society

2018-11-23 14:39:22 UTC  

I didnt say it was communist

2018-11-23 14:39:25 UTC  

I said it was socialist

2018-11-23 14:39:30 UTC  

Same thing btw

2018-11-23 14:39:32 UTC  

I've been very specific in my phrasing

2018-11-23 14:39:34 UTC  

it's not lol

2018-11-23 14:39:35 UTC  

But like hey

2018-11-23 14:39:35 UTC  

holy fuck

2018-11-23 14:39:40 UTC  

communism is not socialism

2018-11-23 14:39:44 UTC  

never said it was good

2018-11-23 14:39:52 UTC  

2 times

2018-11-23 14:39:58 UTC  

it's not about quality

2018-11-23 14:40:18 UTC  

**IT'S NOT ABOUT QUALITY**

2018-11-23 14:40:24 UTC  

Nothing is 100% beeman

2018-11-23 14:40:29 UTC  

it's about the characteristics of the system

2018-11-23 14:40:33 UTC  

It's all about percent

2018-11-23 14:40:41 UTC  

China owns the means of production, ergo it's a socialist system

2018-11-23 14:41:12 UTC  

Not all means of production

2018-11-23 14:41:14 UTC  

Nazi Germany also allowed individuals to run and profit from running companies, but at the end of the day the state determined what happened to that company

2018-11-23 14:41:19 UTC  

Just the largest means

2018-11-23 14:41:20 UTC  

Codes is also wrong. China is far from capitalist

2018-11-23 14:41:22 UTC  

you are allowed to operate a business, but you don't own it

2018-11-23 14:41:27 UTC  

^

2018-11-23 14:41:50 UTC  

@Abel I disagree with the "also" though, as I never said China was communist, just that it wasnt capitalist

2018-11-23 14:41:55 UTC  

You guys seem to thing that your either capitalist or your not

2018-11-23 14:41:59 UTC  

the only capitalism that china use is state run capitalism

2018-11-23 14:42:10 UTC  

"state run capitalism" isn't capitalism

2018-11-23 14:42:15 UTC  

Its privately owned by people that are part of the party

2018-11-23 14:42:16 UTC  

Economic systems merge

2018-11-23 14:42:17 UTC  

so yes
