China has stopped being communist for a while now, it's developed into some flavour of capitalist society though I don't remember much about the different variants. It's certainly top heavy though like the USA.
Same reason the US has the most prisons even though it's aiming to be the freest country.
Systemic racism to control the marginalized and ensure the poor stay with very few viable options?
i have it on good authority from about half of lemmy that china is a wonderful place where everyone feels safe and actually there never were any uyghurs, since that's just western propaganda
Also North Korea is what all countries should strive to emulate.
No, seriously, I've seen a tankie on here say that.
Being banned from .lm is a badge of honor.
I've heard that too
They aren't trying to be communist, they are trying to be "Communist with Chinese elements" which is just capitalism. Similar to how they are a "Democracy with Chinese elements" which is just a dictatorship.
Interesting
Because "Communist States" are just State Capitalism with red branding, next question.
Why does my girlfriend call all the food I make slop?
Maybe improve your cooking?
Maybe
Nah, just pivot to sloppy joes and own it
Ask Jack Ma what being a billionaire in China is worth.
Well yeah, he criticized a government labeled "communist". He's lucky to be alive. But, he's still a billionaire and has homes in half a dozen countries.
I'm just trying to connect your reasoning here. Are you implying that billionaires should be brought to heel by popular power or private property should be respected? Do you believe property is an essential right that should give you a megaphone or not? I'm just saying billionaires don't particularly laugh at Chinese state directives as in the meme.
Which part is causing confusion?
I dunno man, I put words together and put a question mark behind them. I don't know if that means anything to you or not.
Now I'm the confused one
You were tickling my fancy until I noticed the community. Well done, dear Lemming, well done.
