I agree prison labor is just a roundabout way of getting away with slave labor and it shouldn’t be done. That being said, China has less slaves than the US and treats them half as badly.
The US has destroyed every socialist country in history that didn’t have a strong enough military to fight them off
None of those are socialist countries. They’re all capitalist
Russia devolved into capitalism. Funding a military is incredibly expensive and necessary when a communist country wants to exist in a world with the United States. This creates a militant economy that must be centrally governed to coordinate this military might. True democratic socialism is impossible as long as the United States exists as an imperialist force.
Weird because China is succeeding quite well.
I used to love that dude, too. I also used to go on Reddit though. Thankfully, I’ve outgrown both.
Probably living in the US
Authoritarianism is not equal to capabilities. In fact, the Soviet space program was significantly more capable for a very long time
Looking at their space station, I think China already has overtaken NASA.
Companies get by making keyboards and power supplies all the time.
Anyone who supports a corporation is just a big dumb dummy.
Well according to the previous math, they retained 10% of their revenue and 75% of their profits. I know, math is hard.

Well I think this article and comment section is a clear indication of the power of this information when used for propaganda.
That’s because it’s being applied to Western standards. China spends a crazy amount of money on social welfare and government assistance. Minimum wage is around or less than 2000 Yuan a month around the country, yes. But, that’s completely ignoring currency exchange rates and cost of living.
Cost of living in Shanghai and Beijing are around 4,500 Yuan. Which means a couple or two roommates can live on minimum wage in the biggest cities. Compare that to minimum wage and cost of living in New York City or LA which is $1,280 a month, costing $4,300 and 1,342 a month, costing $5,576 respectively.
Tldr: how much money you make is only relevant when compared to your cost of living. It’s not hard to live in China on $300 a month.
They’re talking about whatever version of capitalism you call the West. At least that’s how it’s worded.
Trump isn’t president yet
It’s just plain old capitalism.
You’re citing a capitalist finance website to prove your point about socialism. You seem to be confused between social democracy and democratic socialism. I understand because they seem so similar that they must be basically the same thing, right? Nope.
The Nordic model is a form of social democracy. They take many of the benefits that socialism provides and builds them into a capitalist economy. Democratic socialism is an actual form of a worker owned an operated economy.
If you’re ever in doubt, ask the question, “who owns the means of production?” If the answer is huge megacorporations and wealthy billionaires, then it’s a capitalist economy. If the answer is the working class, it’s socialist.
