I don't understand what are you trying to say here that capitalist is bad for China and Soviet Union is the best model for economic development
For pete sake Soviet Union implode and it does not exist anymore Communism only bring misery and poverty to soviet union state and her people resulting in break up of Soviet Union into don't know maybe 10 states
China is only communist in the name only 60 or 70% of production mean in China is owned by private company France is probably more socialist than China
I wonder if you ever look at my graph from 1950 to 1980 Chinese GDP percapita barely budge at $300 per year
That completely show the failure of communism in China
Communism is so against the grain of Chinese people that is why it failed miserable Only when Deng take the reign of power China start to get better When he persuade people to let some people get rich first. And with his pronouncement that to get rich is glorious, he liberate and let the tremendous force of wealth creating spirit loose
Now we can see the result . So yes Capitalism is the China's salvation from poverty destitute and hopeesness
You are a huge hypocrite if you reject western propaganda about China today while spewing out CIA talking points on the China and USSR of 1950s-70s. Communism laid the foundations for China's development today by producing educated people who had work ethic. And slandering communism in the USSR is even more laughable. Going from a semi-feudal society to a superpower in 40 years while winning a civil war and a world war is an unmatched accomplishment. The later "decline" was simply the economy of the USSR maturing and slowing to 3-4% growth per year. By the way that is better than most mature capitalist economies. China's economy is maturing as well now so how can China deal with this? Capitalism is a temporary cancerous growth and it needs to feed. You will experience exponential growth and then the cancer either grows too large and kills you or you kill the cancer and progress to communism. China's development comes from an influx of trade partners willing to buy from China. It didn't matter that China was adopted a capitalist mode of production after 1979, what mattered was technology and funds entering the country boosted the productivity of the Chinese people. You can say China developed while it had a capitalist mode of production but you cannot say capitalism was the cause of China's development. As I said in my response, improving productivity is the most important factor in creating a prosperous society. The west "helped" China for geopolitical reasons. Now that the USSR is gone, the west wants to destroy the economy of China with this trade war. One belt one road and Made in China 2025 are measures to offload China's economic capacity onto non-western countries to sustain the current economic model in China (production for exchange, not for use, etc.). But rather than killing the capitalist cancer in China, the CPC is trying to protect it.
I'm glad you brought up the collapse of the USSR, or more accurately, the illegal secession of the RSFSR, Ukrainian SSR, and Belorussian SSR from the Union instigated by certain leaders within the CPSU. The Red Army should have crushed these rebellions. The USSR was not even in a capitalist mode of production yet the CPSU was infiltrated by liberals and fifth columnist reactionaries who destroyed the Union against the democratic wishes of the people. These capitalist roaders became the oligarchs of the illegitimate states like Russia and Ukraine by stealing the industry built and owned by the Soviet people.
Remember the USSR did not have capitalism, so how much more dangerous of a situation is China in today due to it's capitalist mode of production? How many fifth columnists are there working with foreign powers against the state and the people and are they in positions of authority? And lets assume that Chinese capitalists are somehow loyal to China, that doesn't change the fact that China faces many problems in the future. The capitalist economy won't necessarily allocate labor to address future challenges. China does't need to protect it's capitalists, it needs to ensure that the hard work of the Chinese people goes into improving society and solving problems. That means fixing the environment, providing elder care, making new discoveries to eliminate the need to use fossil fuels. What China does not need are highly educated workers inventing new ways of advertising, or new ways to loaning money, or producing hollow entertainment commodities, basically the stuff that keeps western capitalism afloat these days. In short, central planning under the leadership of a Marxist-Leninist state is the way forward. Be principled, be consistent, reject all liberal propaganda that the west tires to push. This is not the world of 1900 when there were only 2 billion people and when we had the time to let the market figure things out.
You realize GDP is a garbage measure and even the CPC knows that a better statistic for economic livelihood is needed. Countries can add all sorts of "economic activity" into GDP calculations. The USSR did not collapse, it was illegally dismantled by traitors within the party.
Wealth is not a giant pie where someone taking a bite means less pie for you. Wealth is human productivity. At its basis, it's how much food and energy human labor can produce. Two people working together can generate more wealth than each person working separately.
As for the problems of America, I think Jack Ma said it best. It's not the Chinese or even the "1 percent" that's responsible for your current problems. It's the fact that you keep waging these wars. Look at how much money the Iraq and Afghanistan war cost, and think what the US would be like if that money had gone into infrastructure. Now, you can blame the military industrial complex for this, but it wasn't the MIC that gave Bush a second term. When Bush was preparing to invade Iraq, the American public was the only people who believed it was a good idea. Everyone else in the world knew it was going to be a disaster however it turned out.
Thank you for agreeing with me, wealth is human productivity. So remind me why we need middle men called capitalists? Of course Ma avoids away from criticizing the capitalists class in america, that would be criticizing his own class. Where is his loyalty now? Unfortunately he forgot that the MIC is composed of private corporations who operate on the principle of profit maximization, they are a major player in shaping the policy of america to benefit their bottom line. It is exactly as you say, the productivity of the america working class could have gone to improving domestic living standards. Instead it goes to fattening up the owners of lockmart, raytheon, and the co because the MIC and other capitalists write the laws and run the state. It is in their interest to wage war against Iraq and get those checks. They certainly don't care about the living conditions of the typical american or how many Iraqis die. By the way, it is also in their interest to raise tensions with China, threaten the Chinese people since that gets them cash as well. I wonder how much that plays into this trade war? Not only is capitalism harming China, capitalism in other countries are also harming China, and you expect me to believe that capitalism is some wonderful thing?
