Yeah, how did China manage that without private enterprise? Oh wait, they didn't. China is a Capitalist country in everything but name. There's a stock market, social inequality, venture capital, competition, labor-as-capital policies, a strong private banking system. Shit, China is more Capitalist than my country! The only difference is you mysteriously disappear if you criticize the government. That's the part that gets your tiny little dick hard though, isn't it, you bootlicker?
LMFAO how to say you're an utter ignoramus without saying it. The only question for you is why is it that China is developing differently from actual capitalist countries. Maybe take a moment away form sucking your own dick, and think about that.
That's an easy one. When nobody is free to criticize the government, it can do ehatever it wants. You're not very smart, are you?
welcome to the real world dumdum
The real (inflation-adjusted) incomes of the poorest half of the Chinese population increased by more than four hundred percent from 1978 to 2015, while real incomes of the poorest half of the US population actually declined during the same time period. https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w23119/w23119.pdf
From 1978 to 2000, the number of people in China living on under $1/day fell by 300 million, reversing a global trend of rising poverty that had lasted half a century (i.e. if China were excluded, the world’s total poverty population would have risen) https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/China’s-Economic-Growth-and-Poverty-Reduction-Angang-Linlin/c883fc7496aa1b920b05dc2546b880f54b9c77a4
From 2010 to 2019 (the most recent period for which uninterrupted data is available), the income of the poorest 20% in China increased even as a share of total income. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.DST.FRST.20?end=2019&locations=CN&start=2008
By the end of 2020, extreme poverty, defined as living on under a threshold of around $2 per day, had been eliminated in China. According to the World Bank, the Chinese government had spent $700 billion on poverty alleviation since 2014. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/31/world/asia/china-poverty-xi-jinping.html

LOL how butthurt do you have to be to type all that and find all those links? Besides what do they have to do with anything? China has a Capitalist economy, as I already said. Now why don't you look at Bokivia, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea or any other actually Communist country? The story is quite different.
just documenting what an imbecile you are for the people reading this thread. Hilarious how you can't understand what the links showing that people living in China see their country as democratic and their standard of living improving have anything to do with this thread. Thanks for once again highlighting that you're using both of your brain cells here.
Meanwhile, if China was a capitalist economy, then it would be developing like actual capitalist economies like say India that started in the same place as China. China hasn't been blockaded by the burger empire that you worship the way Bolivia, Venezuela, Cuba, and DPRK have been. The fact that you don't get that further highlights what an utter dumb fuck you are.
Entire books have been written about this https://ia600200.us.archive.org/29/items/fp_Killing_Hope-US_Military_and_CIA_Interventions_Since_WWII-William_Blum/Killing_Hope-US_Military_and_CIA_Interventions_Since_WWII-William_Blum.pdf
However, if need to believe that China is capitalist, you should be very excited that China will be the model for the rest of the world going forward. Also, hilarious just how incoherent you are, since you've been busy shitting yourself over me supporting socialism, but seem to have no problem with China which I see as the model. I don't say this lightly, you are truly one of the dumbest people I've interacted on this platform. I'm frankly amazed you have the brainpower to remember to breathe while typing out your inane comments.
You're so mad it's legitimately entertaining. Please continue to spout your half-digested and quarter-understood propaganda for my amusement. Just make sure not to mention a certain event that happened at ancertain square or you'll be blacklisted from ever entering the glorious Communist utopia of China where everyone's a millionaire who is free to have as many babies as they want and to freely express their opinions without fear of reprisal.
I love how you keep repeating that I'm mad as if that's going to make it true. I think you're utterly hilarious to be honest. You really think you're the first troll I've run into on here or that you're being original somehow? All you idiots just regurgitate the same script. Gonna be a lot of seething and coping in your future as Chinese model keeps spreading around the world and your imbecilic opinions start being censored. 😂
I'm all for the "Chinese model" (aka market Capitalism) spreading around the world. Hopefully it will spread to Venezuela very soon.
Venezuela has more private ownership in the economy than China ignoramus.
LOL have you actually been to Venezuela? Fucking idiot.
Imagine not understanding how sanctions work. If socialism was so horrible then burgerland wouldn't to use sanctions would it. Really shows who the fucking idiot here is.
Yeah, boo hoo it's not our unsustainable economical model that's the problem, it's the sanctions! Those evil people with a worse economical model that somehow have the power to bankrupt our better model by oreventing it from participating in a free international market (aka the bad model). Because that's nit completely fucking retarded.
There's just one problem with your dumb fuck logic there which that GDP growth restarted despite the sanctions in 2020. In a few years Venezuela will be completely independent of the US dollar and with a complete industry of its own. chart showing the collapse of GDP after sanctions, and the economy stabilizing after 2020
Can't wait to see what next imbecilic argument you're going to attempt.
Bro, seriously. I oersonally know Venezuelans with a higher education - one lawyer and one engineer - who emigrated to Peru to work as a maid and as a bartender so that they could send money back to their families. GDP means nothing if the people don't get to share in the wealth. In Venezuela, only the top government and army officials live above the poverty line. This isn't your stupid little Marxist theory written by people who never actually read Marx. This is real people starving and being miserable because of Communism. How can you not understand that? Or maybe yku do and yku just don't care. Fuck everyone else as long as you can play the part of revolutionary hero in your head, right?
quite a word salad you got there bro, keep seething
Ah, if onky you lived in the real world. But you live in fantasy land where Communism works.
I'd be so insulted by that if I had a shred of respect for you.
I'd be insulted if a delusional commie like you did respect me. I know the people you respect: thieves, mass murderers, liars, warmongers. I don't want to be bunched in with them.
Don't worry, I bunch you with demented squirrels on meth.
Still a billion times better than Maduro.
There's gonna be so much seething and coping in your future little fash. As burger empire influence over Latin America wanes, you're going to miss people like Maduro soon.
I can't wait to "miss" Maduro. Neither can all of Venezuela.
Love how you presume to speak for people of Venezuela. Go back to huffing gas.
Unlike you I actually know several of them and have some idea what I'm talking about. All you get fed is propaganda, I get it straight from the horse's mouth.
You presume so much. Go tell your "ideas" in a poor neighbourhood in Venezuela see how that works out for you. Will get your ass beat pretty quick.
Actually it won't. And unlike you, I know that for a fact.
By the way, every neighborhood in Venezuela is a poor neighborhood thanks to Maduro. He realized the Communist dream of ending social inequality by making everybody miserable. Except for himself and his geberals, of course.
Buddy, you clearly don't even know your own ass from your face, not there's much difference. I love how you spent weeks to document just what an utter imbecile and a lair you are. People like you were the reason gulags were invented.
What a surprise, you're pro-gulag and can't spell "liar". I bet your own feces have a higher IQ than you.
A few years in a reeducation camp might make a productive member of society out of you yet. Until then, enjoy being a clown.
LOL a productive member of society? Dude, unlike you I actually have a job in an industry that actively improves quality of life for people. While you live on dividends from marketing or subletting or whatever the fuck workless income source allows you to be a communist, I bust my ass in the recycling industry. I'm saving the planet while you jerk iff to AI porn of Furry Stalin LOL
