        Right, and the sky is green too.

        Adding the word “socialist” in front of “market economy” doesn’t make it any less capitalist. I’m done with this.

          nuh uh because it means that the CPC has final say over shit with regards to the economy and governance instead of just leaving things up to the market like a true capitalist country

              State capitalism is when you execute billionaires and enact compulsory planning for key parts of the nation’s development such as health and infrastructure.

                No but state capitalism is when the majority of billionaires are allowed to exist in the first place dumbass. Tight regulations don’t make you socialist. And putting money into health and infrastructure is possible under capitalism LMFAO

                  Socialism is a transitory stage between capitalism and communism where there is ongoing class warfare between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat my dude. In China, the state is on the side of the proletariat, not the bourgeois.

                  And putting money into health and infrastructure is possible under capitalism

                  And yet China is the only major power where the state has a tight grip on both… Interesting!

                    THEN BAN BILLIONAIRES AND STOP FOLLOWING DENG’S CAPITALISM JFC. Not that hard if they were actually socialist and aiming for communism.

              Cool then let’s have the CPC run the USA, I’m sure you’re okay with that since China is actually capitalist, right? It should totally be the same here if the CPC takes control, right? Right?
