    Please get off the armchair.

    Bro, the USSR's rapid industrialization was only achieved through large-scale expropriation of peasants and the suppression of consumption of workers. Industrializing rapidly requires these things.

    The arguments you make apply to Mexico, subsaharan african nations, indonesia etc, but China on the other hand, which has massive investment in social infrastructure, large scale IP theft, planned industrial policies, massive amount of state control in private industry, the worlds largest labour union, is not even remotely close to neoliberal capitalism. Not to mention the law of value does not appear to function in China.

      You have a fair point. But when is the point where the government decides that they have built up enough productive forces?
