But that IS what China is doing. The number of billionaires reached its peak and is even going down now. 60% or their gdp comes from state owned enterprises.
An actual communist would first be trying to build socialism. Which is what China is doing.
And it's perception because you can't actually quantify how democratic a country is. You can only look at whether or not people feel like their government is representing them. If people don't feel like their government represents them, then it isn't democratic and needs to he changed.
Communist countries are called "communist" not because they've actually achieved communism but because they're run by communists who want to achieve communism.
Any country that is run by communists will be called a dictatorship whether or not they actually have a dictator. China is an example of this. You know nothing about how the Chinese government operates. You were just told they were a dictatorship and you believed it. China has better democratic outcomes than most liberal democracies (assuming that actually exists)
Again, socialism isn't something that just happens overnight. China is socialist in that they're building socialism. Not that they've actually achieved it.
And no China is not imperialist unless you're using a shitty "imperialism is when countries do things" and not what actual leftists mean when they talk about imperialism which is a inevitability when capitalism can't keep profits improving at their current rates because they've fully expanded above capacity in the countries they are in.
This is some "if they're communist why haven't they pressed the big red communism button?" Shit.
Socialism is the process between capitalism and communism. It's not something that happens over night. Right now China for example has 60% of their gdp coming from state owned enterprises. They support workers buying shares of the companies they work at. They've made heaps of progress building socialism.
I don't have the means to support them and I watch a lot of content creators so I wouldn't be able to support them all anyway. Letting the ads play is the only way I can support them.
How much ad revenue do creators receive? I'm sure it's still enough for them to want people to watch ads on their videos. If I'm wrong let me know. Also yes I know ads are a nuisance. That's not relevant. I know ads are a nuisance, I watch them anyway for the point I mentioned.
If billionaires decide to leave the country then the factories and businesses run by workers producing the billions they made will remain. You can't pick up a building and take it with you.
If you want to be technical about it then yes it's violence. But someone tried to kill someone and they fought back in self defence, it would be weird to label them as being violent right? It's not like the person wanted violence, they would rather they weren't attacked in the first place.
Yes. Voting is useful for showing solidarity with the movement and demonstrating how the current system doesn't work. Just because it isn't capable of causing any meaningful change doesn't mean it's useless.
How is term limits a good indicator? If you're doing a good job why should you br kicked out after an arbitrary amount of time?
