          That’s fantastic. Someone should tell Hexbear we can get to communism by simply giving billionaires all the remaining money.

          And not a communist one.

          The means of production belong to the government which belongs to muskrat, et cetera.

          You understand the transitive property of ownership, yes?

          The people exist only to buy from the government owned corporations.

      Like i said, people really don’t understand what communism is. They fill in the bits they dont know with any old crap that comes into their heads.

          ? We were having a polite discussion about economics, why bring social policy into it?

      The social democracies of Northern Europe meet more of the goals of communism than China does.

      You know, the parts that actually make life better for people.

      It seems to have started to falter, though. The will to keep it going seems to be withering as people are increasingly mocking anyone on welfare without being completely disabled, and thinking about how much nicer their houses and vacations and parties could be if taxes were lower.

        I admit that China’s mass infrastructure project impresses me. Unfortunately, their building standards are lacklustre, and the skyscrapers are falling apart.

        There are longer videos of their skyscrapers. Such as one where a man can literally dig through the concrete columns
