thoughts on these critiques:
- I mean, I don’t think it’s a camp so much so as it is reality. Dengism has pushed forth a disastrous capitalist restoration that every single CPC government has done ever since, workers have been continually disenfranchised and chinese capitalists pop up everywhere and establish businesses that exploit the proletariat
- how can a country be a dotp without its basis of government being soviets they give bourgeois the right to vote and participate in government.
- Beijing has legally and specifically preserved capitalist governance where it can during dengism (Basic Laws in Macau, Hong Kong), but even Hong Kong is being outcapitalisted by the mainland, with Shanghai and even Shenzhen surpassing Hong Kong in terms of commerce and trade, points of great pride for Beijing despite this very clearly not being socialist
- the 1918 russian constitution officially denied political power to the nobility and bourgeoisie anyway, universal right to vote is inherently bourgeois. ALL POWER TO THE SOVIETS this is very basic stuff
I don’t want to assume the worst, but it really reads like you’re thinking that “capitalism is when trading” which is how liberals understand capitalism
‘specifically designated economical hubs with combined population nearly 10x larger has higher economy than much smaller area’
“Capitalism is when buy and sell things.” Is literally how liberals think. That’s like, the first thing a budding leftist realizes is bullshit when they start to learn about socialism. How does someone with this ideal make it as far as Lemmygrad without understanding that? This shit reads like a fed post.
You just reminded me of a terrible experience I had with a liberal trying to convince me that capitalism is when you trade and trading is when you have markets.
He was being unironic.
