Ah, the true path to socialism!

Why is Winnie the Pooh dressed like a sexual predator?

If factories in your country have suicide nets, maybe you aren't doing socialism right.

Not making a point here, I just like numbers:

China has a population of ~1.4 billion

China has 698 billionares

China has the one billionare for every 2,005,730 people.

United States has a population of ~340 million

United States has 724 billionaires

US has one billionaire for every 469,613 people.

Edit: I like numbers. I don’t like Reddit/Lemmy formatting.

Yup China has the fastest growing billionaire and millionaire class. It's no more socialist than America but we need a boogy man, as long as that antagonist isn't capitalism the wheels towards the cliff will keep turning.

Post this at another instance that I shall not invoke by name, watch yourself get deleted and maybe even banned.

China is not socialist no matter what they say.

All the .ml users showing up to explain that actually real socialism is supposed to produce billionaires, because of reasons.

Truth is, the number was once well over 698.

Ask Jack ma what happened.

Socialism: A system of government where the country's wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

Oh wait. that's capitalism. I don't know how I got those two systems confused.

Well ackshuyally (\s)

You can't be a capitalist unless you own captial.

The vast majority of the population are not capitalists.

Since China's economic reforms in the 1980's, 700 million Chinese people have been lifted out of poverty, accounting for three quarters of worldwide poverty reduction during that time.

Do people here think China should've continued Mao's economic policies? Or do you think the correct path is somewhere in between Mao and Deng? Or are y'all just looking to criticize China regardless of what they do or what the results are, to performatively demonstrate your loyalty to the US government?

You don't have to answer that. I've asked it many times and I know none of y'all have an answer to it, beyond calling me a bot or foreign agent, to avoid the question and to performatively demonstrate your loyalty to the US government. I'd love for someone to prove me wrong, but I also know it won't happen.

Lemmy world and being politically illiterate. Name a better duo.
