I hope you're kidding. Or are we in for another 300 comment struggle session on /c/memes?
Fasco-capitalst is an exaggeration, but there's no way a country intentionally keeping the standard of living of the working class that low, just to remain as the world's sweatshop is Marxist-Leninist nation.
intentionally keeping the standard of living of the working class that low
Over the past 40 years, the number of people in China with incomes below $1.90 per day – the International Poverty Line as defined by the World Bank to track global extreme poverty– has fallen by close to 800 million
China’s battle against poverty has benefited the largest number of people in human history
That truly sounds like hell
Something like 70+% of Chinese millennials own their own home as they are experiencing a massive boom in jobs, pay, and benefits. Meanwhile ess than 40% of US millennials do. It's much less when you account for mortgage vs actual paid off.
You can just walk down any fucking street in China and see happy looking young couples with kids. 2 hours there would prove to anyone with eyes and moderately functioning brain how prosperous the society has become.
The west probably would say Satan is communist, so hell indeed (and please Satan, grant me a place there!)
damn that's crazy bro factory wages are actually getting bigger and bigger in China because people don't want to work in factories since they're going to college, China hasn't had sweatshops for decades and they're actually keeping prices low because they make economies of scale You should learn advanced economics probably
Fascinating. I've often seen very video game-esque simplifications of complex geopolitical and economic situations, but to think all Xi has to do to fix the standard of living is just turn a slider up like in a video game! Doesn't he know that the 10% happiness boost the people get will outweigh the additional income cost per turn, especially in the long run? And he hasn't even started trying to build any world wonders smh.
Happiness slider is inefficient he should be trading for luxuries and spending his gold to buy techs smh
fasco-capitalst
Bet you feel really good about having used a word that big
Fash? No
Capitalist? Well, if he has a big "socialism" button, he hasn't pushed it
Can someone explain this to me:
Marxism= based on theory of Marx
Leninism= based on Lenin's theories
Marxism-Leninism= an amalgam between both, created by Stalin
Why not call it stalinism?
- Stalinism is a term people use to mean something else
- Marxism-Leninism is a name that explains what it is quite nicely. You can have disagreements with other Marxist-Leninists (e.g. USSR and China) about what works, whereas Stalinism implies you specifically want what Stalin did (but that should really only apply to a specific time and place, namely Stalin’s governance of the USSR)
I see, thanks for explaining. So it's a bit like a 'do like I say, not like I do' kind of situation...
So it’s a bit like a ‘do like I say, not like I do’ kind of situation
Wow, I must have horribly explained it then.
No, it’s more like different strategies might be more appropriate for a specific time and place, based on trial and error (e.g. how can we avoid the fall of the USSR in China?), the resources of your country, threats of other countries, etc.
