I hate how “anti-war” has been hijacked by these people to mean, let imperialist countries invade whoever they want with no consequences. (in the case of tankies, any imperialist country that isn’t in NATO).

    And yet it’s still not a communist country. I get that you want it to be a communist country, but it isn’t.

      You won’t see me argue that China is communist, it’s socialist as it stands now with the stated goal of becoming communist

        Really? Socialist? Which workers control the means of production?

          In industries that have been pulled into the public fold, sure. I’m calling them socialist In the same vein that you might still call most western countries capitalist despite having market regulations and some companies that are workers co-ops or use other socially owned frameworks. As long as they’re solidly on this trajectory it seems silly to me to label it otherwise at this point just as it would be silly to call the us socialist for having a few employee owned businesses

              I’ll not directly list any because that would be a waste of both of our times (notably some directly listed in the forthcoming article), but here’s a wikipedia article with some information about that. I’m picking wiki here because I have a feeling you won’t immediately discard it as pro-china propaganda. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-owned_enterprises_of_China

              The logic here is the state apparently operates at the will of the people (high approval ratings and high participation) and is working to bring “common prosperity” by gaining more control over the privately owned economy and bringing into state (public) ownership
