First of all, they REJECT the labels absolutely.
Second of all, you don’t even need to be politically literate to understand that they’re not socialist. And no, it’s not because “marx’s theories are outdated and socialism has been updated.” ITS BASIC FUCKING HISTORY.
The US had several fucking nukes pointed at the USSR. Multiple times the world almost ended because of ideological conflicts. Latin American and Asia were invaded, interfered with, and openly and proudly.
So why the FUCK would the US be allies with socialist countries now? Why would they share intelligence with Canadians if they’re socialist? Despite trading heavily with China, the US still have nukes pointed at their country. They have soldiers stationed near their borders. Why isn’t the Canadian-US border heavily militarized? Why aren’t there nuclear submarines patrolling near their waters?
YOU IDIOT
ITS NOT SOCIALIST
THATS WHY
Unless we define what a socialist state is, it isn't going to be possible to say what is or is not a socialist state.
Also the United States has worked with socialist states before.
Sino-Soviet split shit isn't anything other than opportunism on the part of the US, and they never stopped pointing the regime change gun at China, even when they were supposedly aligned.
