You don’t know what communism is. Being run by a communist party does not make one communist. One reason is that communism is stateless and China clearly had a state. China has 1/6th of the GDP that the US has. You’ve been led to believe they are a becoming a global super power so that the US can maintain its global hegemony by attacking a developing country both economically and eventually militarily. China is still a victim of imperialism.

BTW, China’s economy is still 60% state owned and that 40% private owned is responsible for the horrendous conditions that workers in the US are sick of.

Capitalism was a necessary phase in the development of human social and economic systems. It is now outdated in the developed countries. The world now faces never ending wars over the rights to resources and labor. What we have is a major contradiction that will not be solved until workers own the means of production. We now work socially, together on the means of production yet those means are privately owned. This keeps the people from true freedom and security, which can only be achieved through guaranteed housing, guaranteed living-wage jobs, guaranteed health care, and guaranteed education. All this can be paid for by the surplus value that the workers around the world create by expending labor power on the means of production. Instead, that surplus value is pushed to the top and used as profit or to reinvest in capital which exploits more workers.

I’m not here to argue with you. I’m here to let people know there is an alternative and the capitalist educational media system wants to obfuscate that fact. They have done a great job at it too. We will move forward eventually. Capitalism has served its purpose.

Be safe out there. Solidarity!
