Free rider problem is made up. Stateless classless societies have obviously existed throughout history. Every small tribal society is basically that. Meanwhile, the "voluntary" market-driven society is what liberal capitalism is. It doesn't work.

The last two panels refer to structuring society based on the expectation that wealthy people will share, which is basically the trickle down argument.

They're both invalid arguments with proven answers throughout history. The free rider problem hasn't existed in Communists states any more than in capitalist ones, meanwhile we know for a fact that trickle down economics does not work.

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.

Venezuela has more private ownership in the economy than China ignoramus.

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. 😂

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.

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

What happened is that vast majority of these ghost cities have been filling up, and as a result of massive investment into housing 90% of the population in China owns their homes now. Meanwhile, US wastes billions on its constant invasions of other countries. Iraq alone cost over 3 trillion. Your regime errs on side of wasting absurd amounts of money on crimes against humanity while ignoring the needs of the people living in burgerland.

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.
