        China is capitalist.

        For the record I hate capitalism and I love socialism, but claiming China is socialist is straight up misinformation.

      Historically the thing that pulled people out of poverty was either socialism or capitalists scared of a socialist uprising.

      What exactly do you think socialism is?

      The Nordic countries has had socialism since at least the second world war and we’re doing pretty well here compared to the “worlds best country in the world”.

          At least in Sweden we used to have important societal functions controlled by government but since I was born more and more has been privatized and a lot of it has not been for the better.

          The privatization of public transport and our rail roads being one great example. They used to be in great shape and great pricing. Today that is not the case any more.
