We Need Socialism.

[Deplorable Yankee]

It's a shame that more young people these days don't know much about the Soviet Union. If they did, they'd get a fascinating and instructive look at what socialism - communism - can bring on a nation. Us older Cold War folks remember the images from inside the Soviet Union in those days; the lines of bedraggled people, wearing gray, baggy, ill-fitting clothing, standing in line for hours for the monthly potato ration and maybe a half-liter of vodka to drown their many sorrows.


We also remember hearing of the Party elites, with their private stores full of Western merchandise and foodstuffs, with their Zil limousines and their dachas in the woods outside Moscow. It was a hideously unbalanced system, with those same Party elites justifying their privileges in a manner that would have socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) nodding in agreement: "We're important."

And why do you think, genius, did businesses keep changing in this place? Out of sporting interest?
Socialist China is certainly confirmation of your idiotic statement.

Why does a business failure mean capitalism doesn't work?

It doesn't. He's just flinging turds at a wall to see if anything sticks.

 

[dblack]

There are many reasons for that

China failed as a socialist nation and only succeeded when embracing free markts you moron

China has not embraced free markets.

A hell of a lot closer than before Deng.

The CCP runs the show though. There may be a market, but nothing about it is "free".

A lot of folks make a lot of money there now. Not as many as who don't, but still...

Oh totally. If you're connected. Again, it's a market, just not a free market. No one makes a penny without CCP approval.

Those are failed socialist states

socialisty nations have nukes as well

Haiti is a failed state period. It's always been a failed state.

The only people who make money in China are senior party members or those connected to them. The most successful businesses are directly owned by the military or party. China has moved from communism to a kleptocratic autocracy of powerful party members.

China has far more free markets than the West. Plus China doesn’t coup foreign governments. It hasn’t invaded any foreign nation in 50 years. It doesn’t threaten or sanction foreign nations. It doesn’t support a genocide.

China has brought more people out of poverty than any nation in history. This while poverty has risen in the US.

Does China have problems? Of course but if you look at it objectively and refuse to accept the Western narrative, it’s not nearly as bad as the West and the US empire depicts.

No, they don't. We're no bastion of free markets these days, but nothing goes on in China without the CCP's blessing.

You should spend some time in China. You have some serious misconceptions.

Honestly, it's worse. Our perceptions are wildly off base.

For example, how do you suppose health care is handled in China? Do you know?

It’s wise never to believe the establishment narrative. They have a long history of lying. They are lying about China. Just as they’ve lied about every nation the empire opposes throughout our history.

If you think the US has free markets, you are delusional.

China has many problems but thinking they’re so much worse than the US, is failing to accept reality.

What they did to some of their citizens during covid was tyrannical. Our government also did tyrannical things.

Lol. Just like you believe Oswald acted alone and the Warren Report revealed all the facts, you also believe we have a free market capitalist economy.

Can’t fix stupid!
