It’s lemmygrad, we’re the spectre. I’d bet at least half of the other instances out there block us, there’s only like 300 dedicated users on this instance, and they still can’t stop complaining about lemmygrad/tankies

    I did not say having rich people makes a country an aristocracy, not did I say China has done no good for the world. You assumed that.

        My point is that China has a capitalist market economy, and therefore it’s not communism. Nothing to do with revisionism. Li’s definition of capitalism seems to be narrow, I know it as the ability to own the means of production. If you can own a private company in China, and if that company can profit off of the work of people working for wages, I consider that capitalism. Xu Jiayin of Evergrande Group absolutely benefits from the work of people below him, and they are exchanging their labor for less than it generates. If you consider that to be a feature of communism, then we must have different definitions of communism

          It’s not communism, yes. But China is on the way to communism, and with what has happened already I am confident it will carry through.

        Thank you, I will take a look at these. There is certainly a lot I don’t know about China’s government
