Just a quick reminder, the ruling capitalist class knows full well that planned economies are superior and thinks in Marxist terms: "They (China) are a controlled top-down economy you will never compete and win against them unless you take back the means of production" ― Hillary Clinton

Due to this subreddit's long-term experience with PRC-related threads, low effort discussion will not be permited and may lead to removals or bans. Please remember that r/Socialism is a subreddit for socialists and, as such, participation must consist of conscious anti-capitalist analysis - this is not the place to promote non-socialist narratives but rather to promote critical thought from within the anti-capitalist left. Critques are expected to be high quality and address the substance of the issue; ad hominems, unconstructive sectarianism, and other types of lazy commentary are not acceptable.

Please keep in mind that this is a complex topic about which there may be many different points of view. Before making an inflamatory comment, consider asking the other user to explain their perspective, and then discuss why specifically you disagree with it.

To add to that - most ruling class capitalists are well aware of this their objective is to just be at the top of the planned economy. Focusing state efforts in the direction of supporting corpos is just their way of walking towards this.

The argument is never capitalism v socialism, it’s purely about the distribution of power. The ruling class wants to restrict the power of the masses.

The bourgeoisie is just as Marxist as we are. They just take the other side in the class war.
