Well the important thing is you found a way to feel superior to both of them.
True... but it wasn't exactly a high bar to clear.
How embarrassing for you.
sexist weirdoes on lemmy stop using sexual violence to refer to anything challenge [impossible]
I've been describing capitalism as "rapacious" for about a decade now - because that's what it is.
It's interesting that it only becomes a problem when China's capitalist exploitation becomes a point of discussion.
as someone that lives under capitalism and has had that horrible thing happen to me, no, no it is not the same. two things can be awful without being the same
It's more about trajectories. In China, statistics such as life expectancy keep going up, and have actually overtaken the US, whereas these quality of life indicators in the US are stagnating or even going down. Is China an ideal society at this point? Of course not, but one can still recognise what has been accomplished by their plans, weather you want to call it state capitalist, socialist or whatever other label, the results are there when compared to the quality of life 40 or 50 years ago.
That's why it's pretty funny for Biden to try deflect to China.
Don't know what any of this has to do with sexual violence though.
China is a socialist state.
"Capitalism with Chinese characteristics" is socialism now?
One little mistake though. It is actually Socialism with Chinese characteristics
In other words... it's capitalism with Chinese characteristics.
just insisting that you're right doesn't actually work
Aaaaaaand... it's still capitalism with Chinese characteristics.
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously
I guess you didn't even bothered to check my link and where it leads to. Yes it leads to your favorite Wikipedia site: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism_with_Chinese_characteristics
