^Gle, restating what I said and then call me “misunderstood”–whatever the heck that means–is a fallacy. First off, China is not a “semi-communist.” It’s a totalitarian government with state-own corporations along side capitalism. A better term for it is “state capitalism” (borrowed from Ian Bremmer’s article in Foreign Affairs). Second, when did I ever contest that the Chinese Communist Party doesn’t control the media and rule without their people’s consent or that China isn’t a one-party system? Why are you restating what is already given? That doesn’t make an argument. It’s like me claiming that cloud causes rain and you stating that the sky is blue when there is no cloud…So? If you are calling the current Chinese government a communist one, even a “semi-communist one,” then you will have to define what that communism mean. And as I stated in the previous, which I wish you read a little more carefully, it doesn’t fit in any known communist philosophy. Cuba is closer to a communist state as understood by the students of communism than China. Again, China is under the control of a Totalitarian government and not a “communist” one as understood by anybody who has actually studied communism. Totalitarian government can have capitalism and promote state-own corporations. True Communism, in any form, DOES NOT have corporations. Corporations are the antithesis of communism. Communism is collectivism and workers centric, not profit driven and workers be damn. Seriously, pick up the book I recommended.
