They dont even know that communism means no private property. Thats the MAIN element of communism. Everything is owned by the state. All business, all property, and anything not nailed down. So how exactly is china "communist" when they allow people to have private property and own business' outside of the government control?

Can you even define communism...? Maybe tell us three or four of the main feature of communism which makes it different from socialism or marxism?? Anyone?

Yea. I didnt think you could, either.

This post makes me sad. To think that we have people who think this poor journalist was jailed for reporting on a fake story in Wuhan – is absurd! China has a long history of incarcerating people who report on things they do not want them to, i.e., their government. Just google "China locks up Hong Kong journalist," and I am sure you will find two or three stories as of recent. They do this to stop other journalists from speaking out on stories that they want to keep hush, hush.

First, you sound like you know the definition of Communism, but clearly, you have not done any basic research and are spewing. In China, they own their houses that sit on the land or have transferrable land rights. The Chinese government or collectives own the land and lease it to the people. That sounds communistic to me?

Next, Communism is a derivative or marxism.. so there is interrelation. But to cut to the chase, modern-day communism accomplishes the goal of dogmatic control (i.e., owning your property), by owning the businesses. If you look up China's largest companies, they are all either completely state-owned or partially state-owned. The Chinese government will also force the companies to allow their "party members" to sit on the board or in other pivotal roles.

Society, in general, has swung its pendulum towards capitalism, so there is no need for communist countries to own everyone's property. The goal of that is to keep people poor and submissive, correct? They do that now by controlling the way their businesses function and thus keeping a cap on their society. I will agree that this might not fall within the confines of the generic definition of communism, but it is clearly a modern-day expansion of that.

Generally speaking, the Chinese government may take back allocated land-use rights at any time without any compensation.

false information and lack of civic literacy is killing us. There are a ton of people who expect Biden to be blocked in January. The storyline involves something like Pence refusing to do the swearing-in ceremony, which they believe will make Biden not the President. It's batshit retarded, but like a Jesus Return Date, I'm sure that all of the delusional will find some reason to not feel stupid when the prophecy fails. And keep hooting like apes.

If we are crazy then there are an awful lot of us crazy people. And you know how us crazy people are. We do crazy things like start revolutions.

Only 15% of the country wanted to go to war against Great Britain. Would you say 15% or more of the country is crazy?

So they put a cap on society and the heights they can reach, right?

buh-but.. the cap.. You said they dont let people get rich... I didnt say "chinas largest companies" did I?? Learn to fucking read. I said every business. Any legal business will be state owned. Thats the whole "totalitarianism" part of communism. Its not communism if its not totalitarianism. Use the proper word, if you're going to use it. You just admitted that its not communism. Go pick up your little mic.
