Anyone know what this guys deal is? I dont read Jacobin a ton but this article surprised even me. Guess Jacobin is angling to be bought up by NYTimes in a couple of years.

    Long article. Got through the first section. Way to miss the point, even though the headline is correct

      Like the article makes sense, I just dont know how accurate any of it is, nor is it clear as to what the authors point of reference is. Also he seems to be contradicting himself when he says that China is capitalist and is driven by the profit motive, but then also says that they are squeezing out more lucrative private investment via the less lucrative public sector. Like I get there is nuance of positions in that tangle, but he doesn't seem to acknowledge that and just breezes past.
