Asking this because i’m a newbie in the topic of socialism and i want to understand whether China is actually considerable socialist or not. A lot of the stuff we see are Chinese brands, owned by privates (at least i think so, correct me if i’m wrong), making tons of capital. So what’s actually going on?

    I genuinely do not get your point. The purpose of developing rapidly is to uplift the proletariat rapidly and achieve communism faster.

      …ok…

      Now whats the point of ‘developing rapidly’ if you need to exploit some members of the proletariat to do so?

      (Also Im still waiting on your sources for me to read about unequal exchange … 🍿🤭)

        I gave you a source already, and the purpose of developing the productive forces rapidly is to reach the level at which exploitation is economically unfeasible, when there will not be an antagonistic contradiction between social ownership and decentralized production. I don’t know what your point is.

          it says address not found.

          Also …that source isnt a study… How can you debunk a study without one of your own?

            That source is just an explanation of Unequal Exchange, which is an entirely different thing that what you think it is. What is your point, exactly?

                What is your point? I am not trying to “debunk a study,” I am trying to see what exactly you are trying to say, because it has nothing to do with unequal exchange.
