The labour minister announces a major reform to the communist country's state-controlled economy.

uhh can anyone debunk this if it isn't true, or clarify if this is some dengist thing

Labour Minister Marta Elena Feito said the list of authorised industries had expanded from 127 to more than 2,000.

Only a minority of industries would be reserved for the state, she said.

    All Actually Existing Socialist states have been at least a little Dengist for a while now.

    Except for the DPRK :juche: of course.

      Even the DPRK has some contracting with outside companies for mineral mining I think. It's just the natural thing to do without the trading bloc, organization, support, etc. with the Soviet Union. Implementing socialism will require surviving in the current capitalist world and more future revolutions and socialist movements to appear to reduce the stress that socialist countries face from global capitalism. Better to have socialists remain in power with a partially or mostly capitalist economy than have capitalist wreckers undo all the progress of the revolution using propaganda and terror.
