Comment on Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this.

that state capitalism was able to grow the poorest country in the world into one of the richest without relying on destroying the third world to do so.

that sounds like a step up to me.

without relying on destroying the third world

Whether you’re talking about Russia or China here, both of those countries have massive resources, both natural and in terms of population. I’d argue that they didn’t have to look for (other) third world countries to ruin; they had plenty of area and people of their own to turn to.

Also, a Lemmy ML user charging into the comments to defend state capitalism in oppressive regimes kinda proves my point.

You have a sales pitch that works for the poorest countries, what do you have for the wealthiest?
