It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Their mode of production is called a "socialist market economy". The leadership uses socialist theory to guide their decisions on running the country. Why would this not be socialism?

Oh well if they say their production is socialist guided then they're tooootally socialist! Just ignore the privately owned factories paying people $2 a day and the fact billionaires still exist.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (11 children)

The factories aren’t privately owned, they’re owned by the country and rented by private companies. Stop talking. You don’t know shit. Start reading and educating yourself instead of spreading US state department propaganda.

So, what you're saying is they're not owned collectively by the workers? Tell me again why independent unions are illegal in China.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is grasping at straws to find justifications for hating china as much as the state dept. tells you to while telling yourself you're a leftist. I'll report you to Bernie for this.

"Owned by the state and rented by private corps" sounds like state capitalism to me. Come back to me when workers own any means of production.

Owned by the state

Come back to me when workers own any means of production.

Xi Jinping owning everything doesn't mean the workers own anything.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could I have a source that says Xi Jinping personally has legal rights of ownership over every single one of the over 9000 businesses in China? What an insane level of grindset if he does.

He's the Supreme Leader smart guy, if he can execute some billionaires he can eradicate all billionairism, but he won't. Btw with China's purchasing power parity being 4x the US (1 USD in America will get you as far as 4 USD in China), that means 250+ millionaires technically have the same power as US billionaires, so basically there's way more billionaires than we even thought by US standards

if he can execute some billionaires he can eradicate all billionairism

Independent unions are illegal in China because in the USSR the were legal. The CIA used them to cause problems and harm not only the workers they represent but everyone. In that the government plays a role in most business there is a direct path for worker democracy. We can see this because every year China fixes lots of thr taking points people use against it and then the US government has to make up new ones.
