Hi there! This is a video that I made that I'm hoping can act as a beginner friendly entry level point to the world of self hosting and running a homelab. Just thought I'd share in case anyone is interested, and I hope it can be a resource to share with noobies. I don't claim to be an expert at all so I'd also love some feedback. Thanks!

And? That doesn’t mean they’re not a unique mix of communism and capitalism. Do you even know what those words mean?

Do you? The existence of markets does not make a country capitalist. Concentration of wealth and control of resources makes a country capitalist, and the party/people control the resources and profit allocation.

Do you think China has zero capitalism at all?

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Showing your ignorance again. Capitalism is not the existence of markets. It describes the concentration of wealth and control of resources to extract profit.

Even the smallest bit of research would show you that China is considered a mix of capitalism and communism by…….well, everyone who knows what they’re talking about.

I have done my research. I’m positive I’ve read more theory than you, since you seem to think selling things makes you a capitalist. The education system failed you.

That’s not what I think. I guess all the top economists are also wrong, but you’re right lol

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

Yes, most of the “top economists” are simply those who best regurgitate capitalist propaganda.

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don’t know what to tell you. Everyone with any knowledge about the world knows that China is a mix of communism and capitalism.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

No, just people who swallow western propaganda without question.
