Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

You should learn about China's construction boom starting during the housing crisis of 2008, and think about how events may have unfolded differently if China had not held up the steel and concrete industries globally.

China did that by becoming an authoritarian capitalist country, so that just proves my point. Communism doesn't work.

Ugh.

Your premise has been that China is not capitalist. Now you insert the contradicting premise that China is capitalist.

No matter, though, if logical consistency is too arduous, you can always fall back on your pseudoscientific schtick 'cuz nature.

It literally doesn't matter, you're still wrong.
