They don't call themselves communism though do they? Russia is basically the same thing, both are communists.

Sure there is. We have seen many examples, most of which lead to dictatorships to one degree or another. There are a few fine examples of economic collapse also. There are also examples of some nations trying it out only to scale it back a bit to find balance.

I think a balance can be struck but there are a few things first.

We should never be so egotistical to think that we are smarter than those who have gone before us while doing the exact same things and expecting it will work better this time.

Making decisions based on feelings and the urge to be a good person seems to be a theme. Feelings are a good motivator but logic is what should be used in making policy or we are in trouble.

Lastly, dividing a people and forcefully pushing an agenda through group identity politics is fast but lazy and only leads to conflict or in the worst cases, genocide. Once the groups are insulated from each other, we view each other differently. During ww2 they did it intentionally with the Japanese portraying them in cartoons to appear as monkeys to condition the public. I see the same sort of urgency in rhetoric lately. Why is that?

What Rose said is really stupid. She should keep that trash to herself. But idk about UFC silencing fighters. It's honestly more satisfying when you see Rose's bald ass slammed on her head for her stupid comments. Same with Chael, Covington and McGregors racist comments. Much funner to see them KTFO. There has to be a line to what they can say but idk where to draw that line.

No there should be no line, this is something only a fascist or a radical individual will want. They can say what they want and if someone doesn't like it, he should just deal with it.

I do live by my words.
That doesn't mean that you shouldn't be able to speak out about the horrors of communism because you have some shit phone.
It "sounds like gymnastics" because you're dull.

Fair enough. Just thought you would be one of those types that complain about capitalism on Facebook from their Apple laptop sitting in a Starbucks.

China is a market economy where the law of value regulates social life, like everywhere else. With more state intervention, yes, but that doesnt make it less capitalist.

Very wrong. The communist party dictates what gets produced and where, decides the strategic economic planning of the country, and most big corporations are at least partly controlled by the communist party. That makes it indeed less capitalist than the west.

Where the fuck do you guys get your logic?

Socialism. It's the best system for the most people. Captitalism basically creates a huge gap between poor and rich and will eventually crash.

Captalism also creates means of production and competition in workspace. You are also free to work for yourself and US gives you very favorable conditions for that.

Without that there would be no corporations and the government would spend most of their budget towards military and their own needs while people needs would get ignored. So everyone who is not a government official would be equal but living in barely mediocre conditions. Eventually the government would force people to work with laws that violate human rights.
 
People actually believe China and Russia is communist countries.... China is communist in name but far from it in reality, they're capitalists just as USA. Soviet collapsed in 1991 and Russia has been an oligarchy ever since.

Talk is cheap, if you really wanted to stick it to the communists, you wouldn't buy anything made in China. You should also refuse to support fighters with ties to China and Russia, and boycott the UFC if they do events in communist countries like Russia and China.

LMAO!!! Russia is not a communist state since 1991.
You know, reading some news from time to time will not hurt you...

Do you even science bro? Economic planning by the state is not opposed to capitalism. A lot of capitalist countries through history all over the world had economic planification.

Depends on if the Chinese fighters can beat them. China could easily turn it into capitalists vs. communists and the communists win. They already use martial arts for propaganda purposes.

where do you see communism/marxism in china except in history books ?

Economic planning is absolutely opposed to capitalism, sorry. Just because capitalist countries have resorted to it in the past, it does not mean that it is congruent with capitalism, because it is not.

Now obviously, many times, these things are not black and white and there are levels to this. Just as an example, Canada does not have a free market when it comes to alcohol and does not have tolls. France has a counter example, has private roads and a free market for alcohol. Does that mean that France is a more capitalist country than Canada? No, absolutely not, because the state is a much more important and present party in France than it is in Canada, overall.

United Russia basically still cult follows Lenin and Stalin, and they rarely ever disagree with Russia's second biggest party which has the name communism in their party.

United Russia is communism. Putin runs Russia exactly like a communist country.

yes and a fuckload of dictators labelled their country a "democratic republic", maybe we should'nt judge the book by its cover ? Or be clear on what we call "communist" ? if features of communism are collective property of companies and massive redistribution of wealth, China has not one nor another. If communism is state authorianism and mass political control, China is maybe communist, but so is saudi arabia, Chechnya and Turkey.
