    Those 2 are literally capitalist countries. Also tankies are the ones who commonly say China is not capitalist.

          What makes me think that two countries that have never identified as capitalist and have never been identified as capitalist anywhere except for this crazy ass community where you just go ahead and label anything you don’t like simply as “capitalism”? Oh I don’t know, just a hunch I guess!

            Well if you think ‘because they say so’ is reason enough there’s not really any further to go here I don’t think. I was hoping you’d have a more interesting answer about how the economy is structured or how resources are distributed. It looks more like an authoritarian flavour of capitalism to me but I’m no politics expert so I only have a layman’s view, more than happy to be corrected.

              Dude, the reason you think they’re capitalist is because someone on Lemmy said so, I’m not going to put effort into correcting something that didn’t have evidence behind it to begin with. I’m not going to sit here and try to prove a negative to correct your layman’s view, that’s not how conversation works.

                They have private companies and a market economy, how is that a communist economy exactly ?

                If your only argument for saying they’re communist is because they said so, then you must also believe that north korea is a democracy right ?

            The DPRK “identifies” as “democratic” - so by your logic you should just swallow that hook, line and sinker, too, eh?

            have never been identified as capitalist anywhere except

            Oh, boy… are you in for a surprise - Lenin himself dubbed the fledgling USSR as “state capitalist”.

            Nothing new about it, Clyde.

            Every one of your arguments have been blown out of the water with next-to zero effort… and yet you still pretend you’re in the game.
