    Why did they put socialist in quotations

    Doesn’t that undermine their argument

      Well in neolib brain they are probably meaning for those quotations to mean "communism" because to a neolib that's supposed to be an insult to socialists.

        China's Schrodinger's Communism. We literally cannot tell you whether it is Communist or Capitalist until we evaluate what comes out of the economic black box. Good news means Capitalist. Bad news means Communist. Any evidence to the contrary is a trick or a lie, because you couldn't know what was going on inside the box, only what came out.
