0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All they has managed to do is make themself sad.


fun facts about myself: i am always correct and never wrong. if you disagree with me, you are wrong and you should FEEL BAD.

    are we that good at going from fundamental laws to what actually will happen in the macro world? e.g. we can’t even figure out why certain materials are superconductive at high temperatures.

    so i doubt the counterfactual presented in this graph is accurate. we just know if the coupling constant is different the universe will look completely different, but we would have no idea if intelligent life could still arise.

    … referring to “Democratic Socialism” as an actual, distinct form, as well as your confusion regarding the distinction between Socialism and Communism calls into question all of your examples.

    LOL, OK. Now you are just confidently being wrong.


    Sure, OK, you are rubber and I am glue, very clever.

    This has been a giant waste of both of our time. Thanks for confirming my pessimistic view of the futility of human communication. Just block me and let’s never talk again.

    Just because they are state owned, doesn’t mean they are planned, not in a planned economy sense. They are no more planned than USPS, BBC, the Network Rail in the UK, or Deutsche Bahn in Germany. I think you have either a misinformed, mistaken, or maybe warped perception of what “planned economy” even means. I have older relatives living there who still have vivid memories of life in planned economy China. And from what I’ve heard I can pretty confidently tell you that it is not this. (But hey, I am just a random guy on the internet, a ghost in the electromagnetic waves, or maybe this is all written by ChatGPT. So you don’t have to believe any of what I said.) If you find a random person on the street of China and tell them China is a planned economy (计划经济 in Chinese, pronounced “ji4 hua4 jing1 ji4” if you need help), you will likely be laughed out of court. Like, a company having a plan (which I’d expect a majority of companies around world that know what they are doing to have) doesn’t mean it suddenly operates in “planned economy”

    I do recommend you to read broadly and try to consciously combat your own confirmation biases.

    Well thanks, that’s how I have been trying to operate anyways. It’s just kind of funny to hear it uttered by someone who clearly only have very superficial (mis)understanding of how China operates/operated. (Which is a fault I have observed many on lemmy.ml to have unfortunately.) Which also calls the characterization of all your other examples into question. I genuinely meant this as an advice, and I wouldn’t have typed all this if not for the ridiculousness of what you are saying.

    I am sure you are very well read, which is commendable and I genuinely think you did well there (most of people nowadays don’t read anymore). Just, like, please also read something that challenges your point of view sometimes.
