    Socialism is the transitionary state between capitalism and communism. It exists in a state of warfare between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie.

    We are very far away from defeating capitalism and such measures will remain in place until we have defeated it globally. What the fuck are you thinking? “Yes I want to give billionaires the ability to own media in my proletarian state so they can spew garbage propaganda until their counter-revolution succeeds”. Are you out of your mind? What exactly do you gain from this? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. All you are advocating for is empowering the bourgeoisie to crush and re-exploit you.

      Ah, yes. China is definitely trying to defeat capitalism globally by opening and expanding special economic zones. If anything, China has become more capitalist (because it makes the current bourgeoisie who control the “communist” government more money). Xi Jinping seems to have an estimated value of at least $1 billion USD. He’s not of the working class. He’s from the political class.

        Yes. It is. Your lack of understanding about what their tactics are is a personal failure on your part to seek out the information, not a failure on their part to continue to pursue socialism.

        Xi Jinping seems to have an estimated value of at least $1 billion USD. He’s not of the working class. He’s from the political class.

        Xi Jinping grew up in a literal fucking cave. This claim is akin to all the estimates of Stalins worth that literally just decided he owned everything that the state owns. Your “”“source”“” for this is capitalist finance blogs after you googled “xi jinping net worth” that don’t break down this figure whatsoever. They all just claim it. It’s literally the embodiment of:

        You have no fucking standards of evidence at all just like you have no fucking standards for yourself.

          He lived in a cave for some time because his father lost political favor, not because they were poor. He is of the political class. That’s unquestionable. His net worth isn’t public, though guesses can be made from the value of stocks his family can own, which isn’t insignificant. Him “growing up in a cave” is because of his political class standing, not because he was a poor worker.

          (It also wasn’t just a cave, but a building constructed of a cave.)

            can own

            This is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your sentence lmao

            Bro they were poor as fuck what are you talking about.

            (It also wasn’t just a cave, but a building constructed of a cave.)

            What the fuck do you think cave houses are? Is this literally the first time you’ve ever seen one? Are you really admitting to being that uneducated? Cave homes still have doors and windows nitwit. Doesn’t change the fact it’s still literally a 1 room cave with a bed shared by 4 fucking people.

            “They’re not poor they just had to share a single bed between 4 people and walk 3 miles for water” is a shitty racist attempt at trying to maintain your position instead of actually taking on board new information you blatantly didn’t know until just now.

            Did you know he also lived in Iowa for a while? The people he met then love him. He stayed with some farmers to learn various agricultural practices, that he would then take back with him and apply.
