Comment on Have you all not notice there are NO communist countries?
MotoAsh@piefed.social 1 day agoChina isn’t not communist because they engage with capitalism… There not communist because their entire system isn’t communist…
When there’s one party, one ruler, and one set of people that get to rule over the rest … that’s specifically NOT communism.
Even if they didn’t engage with the world market, made every business a coop, they would still not be communist. At all.

That’s kind of why I think ‘country’ and ‘communist’ are not really compatible. I don’t think it is possible to have a faithful execution of communism at the scale of an area like China. They’re obviously closer to communism than some places but also just as obviously not there.

What? Lmfao 🤣
China is not even remotelt close to communism, its an authoritarian state capitalist regime.

State capitalism is closer to communism than crony capitalism seen elsewhere.

Yea, I agree in the general sense, although you will always have something akin to countries so long as the entire world isn’t literally communist. Thus making the distinction rather pointless.
