    I think everyone knows the cons exist. i dont mean to be harsh but you're not the only person in the world who's ever thought about this or reached some sort of conclusion no one else has ever been able to. Unless you've spent years of your life studying China and the many complexities of its past and present and have a deep understanding of its society and economy, I would wager some humility is probably needed here and beseech some trust on the comrades in China who are well aware of all this and much more at a much more fundamental level than you or I ever could be. I'm not sure arguments on an online forum are conducive towards much other than giving people migraines.

      Lol. I’m not even making points about China above I’m making general points about planned economies as vehicles for development and about capitalism as a set of social and economic relationships that involves the exploitation of a working class by an owning class. Unless you’re saying that China is such a “complex” place that capitalism functions against its nature there, clearly this is bullshit.
