Guess which political economic form can handle price deflation gracefully (hint, it's not capitalism)

Ah yes, China, the city on a hill of Socialism where striking FOXCONN workers are beaten by cops.

LOL, imagine a socialist country where workers needed to organize to create adversarial relationships with other workers. Shake that liberalism from your brain. Unions are an organizational form against capitalists, a protorevolutionary form that wins through threat of harm to the state. No socialist country needs to have unions, because a socialist country is one in which the state is organized in accordance with the long-term interests of the workers as a class.

k, I will tell that to those FOXCONN workers that their system is perfect. I'm sure they will love that.

Cool, let them know that you know what's best for them and that they should organize themselves in a protorevolutionary formation and threaten to withhold their labor from society. You know best!

[-] alternative_factor@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I think they would know what is best for themselves considering all those strikes they were doing.

I've read your posting history so I'm just going to cut it off here, we are both wasting eachothers time.

[-] freagle@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, I knew that the minute you haughtily used sarcasm to state China wasn't socialist and chose the lack of unions as good evidence. Bye.

Your tankie brain knows that FOXCONN is a Taiwanese company, doesn't it? What's a filthy US-imperialist puppet company doing in the glorious socialist autonomous mainland provinces? Who is allowing them to exploit people there?
