    I didn’t realize communism was when you’re an authoritarian state capitalist system. It’s so interesting that international corporations can exist within a communist system. You’d think there’d be local control of resources and production and minimal social hierarchies, given that those are the core defining traits of the ideology.

    So cool to see how you understand the concepts you’re talking about, plenty of people just go by whatever strawman they get raised with.

      Ask the average Hong Konger if they prefer the capitalistic system they were in before or the communistic system they’re headed towards. Most I know prefer the former.

      Wait! I forgot they don’t have free speech anymore.

        The point is their both capitalist

        If your average HKer doesn’t know that just like you don’t know it then that doesn’t make it true

        The change is democracy to autocracy

          TIL China is not communist.

          China is communism. It might not live up to the all the rainbow unicorn fantasy dreams of a system where workers owns the means of the production and all the yada yada, but it’s communism.

            Look, this thing might not be literally the one definition what I’m saying it is has, but it is what I say it is anyway because I say so.

                list all communist governments

                You might as well list all spheres with edges, languages without grammar and all people arguing on random articles about communism that know the definition of communism.

      It’s alright that you didn’t realize what communism is. We all have our weaknesses, and yours is not understanding that communism is an inherrently shitty system that killed millions.
