I'm not naive which is why I don't believe in communism read this https://lemmy.ml/post/255553?scrollToComments=true and tell me if anything in that would make you want to live in China or any other country guided by a socialist party. THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT OF COMMUNISM IS TO CREATE A MARKETLESS, WAGELESS, CLASSLESS AND MONEYLESS SOCIETY WHERE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION IS COLLECTIVELY OWNED. ALL COMMUNIST COUNTRIES LITERALLY STAGED VIOLENT REVOLUTIONS AND COMMIT MASSIVE HUMANS RIGHTS VIOLATIONS FOR THE PURPOSE OF CREATING THIS SOCIETY NO COUNTRY THAT HAS/HAD A COMMUNIST PARTY IN POWER HAS EVER EVEN COME SLIGHTLY CLOSE TO THIS IDEAL BUT INSTEAD HAVE BEEN/ARE STATES WHERE ALL THE MEANS OF PRODUCTIONS ARE OWNED BY THE STATE AND ANY BUSINESSES THAT ARE ALLOWED BASED ON THE GRACES OF THE PART, WITH LAND BEING EXPROPRIATED BY THE STATE FOR BASICALLY FREE TO SELL TO MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS, RULE BY DECREE INSTEAD OF RULE LAW, HUGE AMOUNTS OF BUREAUCRACY, NO RIGHT TO UNIONIZE AND NO PRIVACY ETC "ACTUAL EXISTING SOCIALISM" DOESN'T RESEMBLE ANY WRITINGS OF ANY MARXISTS ECONOMISTS AND IS INFINITELY WORSE THAN ANY CAPITALIST STATE IT PURPORTS TO BE MORE FAIR THAN EVEN STATES WITH THEIR CITIZENS LEAVING IN DROVES FOR LITERALLY ANY OTHER STATE. I GIVE ZERO FUCKS HOW SOMEONE USES A PARTICULAR TECHNOLOGY IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SEEK OUT THE NECESSARY INFORMATION TO UTILIZE ANY PARTICULAR TECHNOLOGY AND ANY FAILURE TO DO IS A REFLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INEPTITUDE AND NOT A FAILING OF THAT PARTICULAR TECHNOLOGY

Yes im coping that communism is such a shit idea that every country that tries it falls apart and ends up reintroducing an even worse version of capitalism but just rebrands it with idiots defending this and saying it’s better

“Private property is ok, deregulation is good, markets are efficient and free trade is swell” - Marx and other communist economists

Relevant

Here is an article by a chinese marxist scholar that goes over really well how the PRC has replicated the singapore economic model to great success. If you reply without reading this I'm just going viciously mock you again.

Are you ok in the head? You do realise that Singapore is literally the poster boy for capitalism with the lowest levels of government interference in the economy, extremely low taxes and little to no barriers to trade

If a country cab just declare itself socialist and not commit itself to any firm principles underlying it’s economic system but just adopt whatever it’s non ideological neighbors are doing then clearly it’s a fraud
