Maybe if people with your ideology only make things that harm you it’s an opportunity to reflect.

    Nobody thinks Russia is even socialist anymore, this is an absurd strawman. Marxist-Leninists believe China to be socialist and run by a communist party, because public ownership is the principal aspect of the PRC’s economy and the working classes control the state.

      yes but: “communist party” does not mean “achieved communism.” we all know that. they are working toward a goal, a goal I agree with, but we all know they are still caps. for the time being.

      i would not refer to china as communist.

        Between capitalism and communism lies the transition between the two, called socialism. China is socialist, as public ownership is the principal aspect of the economy, and the working classes control the state. In capitalism, private ownership is principal and capitalists control the state.
