      Do you think the PRC can summon more developed productive forces with the swish and flick of a wand? The entire purpose of Scientific Socialism is analyzing that markets and public ownership are both tools, and each is more or less effective at different points in development. Half the PRC’s economy is in the public sector, governing industries like steel, infrastructure, energy, etc, which all place reliance on the public sector from the private sector, which is not as developed and generally governs more complex industries at lower levels of development.

        lol. Wumao, when they gave you that document of quotes to use, you weren’t supposed to copy the question.

        You must be new.

          The “document of quotes” is just Marx and Engels, lmao. I asked you directly that question, your avoidance of it speaks to your inability to answer it, so you pull out the ol’ reliable method of refusing to engage and just resort to baseless insults of no effect.

              Less than half of this comment is copied and pasted, the rest was original and written for you in particular as a response to your comment. The copied and pasted bit is from Engels, supporting my claim that the PRC is acting as Marxists, and therefore Communists.
