    Are they belong to a stateless moneyless society? It would be very embarrassing for you if they aren’t.

      Would it be? True it’s not communist but also China doesn’t claim to be. They claim it as an aspiration not as a current state of affairs. However we are random internet people. Are we really going to explain to every dumbass how China isn’t communist, only a vanguard state hoping to evolve into one in the future according to the chain of events described in the communist manifesto?

      No. Cause that’s a waste of time. Being angry that all that context wasn’t added is pedantic because we ain’t operating with strict definitions that everyone agrees to. We are working with cultural vibe checks. And as far as culture is concerned, China is communist.

      They are run by Communists over a Socialist society, working to reach Communism. They have not reached Communism, nobody has, but they have an overwhelmingly publicly owned and planned economy they are advancing year over year.
