    I want you to go talk about “class struggle” on Chinese social media and see if you can beat the ban speedrun.

    … Or go see the hundreds of videos of workers beating or stabbing their bosses over unpaid wages.

    China does cool shit, it just aint socialist dawg

      The people of China are taught about class struggle, as class struggle continues under socialism. China is socialist, as public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy, and the working classes in control of the state. It isn’t a miraculous wonderland, as socialism isn’t some mystical and impossible state of being, but a really existing mode of production.

      Come to China I can give you a tour you can talk to the actual people on the ground. You have less than 0 understanding of what you’re talking about.

        I’ve been to China many times, for travel, for work because our team was working closely with the Shenzhen office. I’ve talked to the people, which were my colleagues, not some random 5 minute chat with the dumpling stall owner. I’m standing by what I said lmao

          If that was true I feel you’d have a less warped view. But it is the internet and you are clearly driven by some vendetta.

          Policy and ideology is generally more of an in person topic but there is still plenty of it online just not on platforms like 小红书 because they are specifically lifestyle or whatever else focusednand generally moderated to keep it that way, and even they have plenty of politics if you search the proper keywords.

          You also clearly don’t know what socialism is which almost any Chinese person could explain even if not in great detail from school. Socialism is the transitionary period between capitalism and communism. It retains a lot of the contradictions of capitalism as they are worked through and overcome. This leads to people still working for a wage but with certain guarantees from the government as they ensure capital works for the public good as it is reigned in and collectivised over time.

          All you’ve done is show you don’t really know anything about what you’re arrogantly preaching.
