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?

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.
I genuinely do not get your point. The purpose of developing rapidly is to uplift the proletariat rapidly and achieve communism faster.
Marxism is not a moral philosophy. The purpose of rapidly developing is to develop into the conditions where there will not be antagonistic contradictions between socialized ownership and the level of development of the productive forces. The base of marketization is in highly decentralized production, the base of socialized ownership is in highly centralized and developed productive forces. The proletariat of China has consistently been uplifted decade after decade.
Further, unequal exchange is generally about international trade, not internal trade.
China isn’t capitalist, what’s the point of sharing documents on unequal exchange and expecting a ban? China is exploited by the west to a decent degree, but they are developing rapidly and undermine that very system.
The prolewiki page on unequal exchange is a good primer. China itself is harmed by unequal exchange, because it’s primarily something higher wage countries benefit from.
China doesn’t contribute to unequal exchange, it bypasses it. Jason Hickel, one of the people mentioned in your first article, is enormously supportive of China. I think you need to revisit unequal exchange and how it functions. Your second video is from a member of the “New Nationalists of America,” and further still you didn’t respond to any of the claims.






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.
