Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 days agoSure, I can’t make you make a coherent point, I’d just rather you do so we can have a discussion, rather than a series of me bringing good sources and information to the table and you shouting at me and defending ableism. I don’t see what you gain from any of this, all you’ve done is legitimize me.

What points have you made? All you’ve done is fail to make any excuses for the staggering and growing wealth inequality in China and fail to drag me into an unproductive argument about definitions.
If I were an anti-communist (an actual anti-communist, not anti-whatever China calls communist)I would love it when people like you try to tie China to communism.

China’s inequality is shrinking, though. The urban/rural divide is being addressed through comprehensive social programs, including the aforementioned poverty eradication program but also including massive expansions in infrastructure and new jobs. Personally, anti-communists I’ve interacted with tend to hate both China and not believe it to be socialist. They can never seem to explain why, though, and nearly all major existing Marxist organizations recognize them as socialist for the reasons I gave.

I already said, I love China, it’s great and getting better. It could get even better if it actually worked toward socialism instead of falling into the trap the people that used to exploit it did, trying to exploit other poorer countries.
You haven’t done anything but list twisted versions of right-wing taking points. “Billionaires aren’t a problem because poor people have refrigerators.”
There is no defense for China’s system, at least not from a communist.

Public ownership is the principal aspect of China’s economy, and the working classes control the state. It’s socialist, and you haven’t disproven the prior claims nor are you willing to provide what you believe socialism to be so we can compare China to your vision. You also haven’t explained what “right-wing talking points” I have, and now you’re inventing points I never made, such as the point about refrigerators. If you want to see a communist defense of China, scroll back a few comments and actually read what I wrote instead of lashing out relentlessly.
