"LibRehab" is a place to point people to when they showcase clear signs of Liberalism (not in a mean way). It is also a place to proactively destroy your liberalism before it becomes counterrevolutionary.

Posts here should be a mix of simplified theory, countering of historical revisionism / anti-communist talking points, and a nonjudgmental space for those on the journey of deprogramming their mind.

Hi Hexbear! I’ve been lurking here ever since you federated with Blahaj. I was already a chapo listener for a year, so it was kind of a twist of fate. Anyways, the other day I heard Matt Christman say something on one of his Cushvlogs that opposes the general sentiment of people here. He said, “China isn’t socialist, they’re not even social democrat; they are state capitalist.” I know you all here uphold that China is AES so I would like an explanation as to why China isn’t state capitalist or a social democracy. Why is/what makes China socialist?

Thank you!

In short, China doesn't allow their capitalists to wield any political power. This article is great for a more detailed explanation.

He's right, China has a capitalist economy. It is, however, a dictatorship of the proletariat where the state does not allow capital to do as it wishes except when it benefits the economic development of the nation as a whole. They've made progress towards independence from the interests of international capital, and every year they get closer to the point where they can inform capitalists they are no longer necessary stalin-gun-1stalin-gun-2
