Honestly if people want communism and socialism to be taken seriously you gotta drop all the soviet imagery.

I'll let the various communist parties currently in power in countries like the PRC, Vietnam, etc. to distance themselves from the hammer and sickle, as you don't personally take them seriously.

I'm not aware of people not taking parties like the CPC, CPV, etc seriously.

China's socialist market economy, unlike FDR's New Deal, is commanded by public ownership as the principle aspect of the economy under a proletarian-led and controlled state, unlike FDR's bourgeois controlled imperialist state. Socialism isn't simply having safety nets, it's a mode of production.

Totally, totally. Those are the nets I think of when i think of their production. Very proletarian led, that's why they need all the cops and censorship.

It's weird how liberals will insist "one county, two systems" is a fiction, then point to a glaring example of Hong Kong labor policy and blame Beijing.

Nevermind the fact that you're describing Foxcon, a Taiwanese company focused on manufacturing for American and Japanese electronics distributed into Western markets.

That's the evil Chinese Communism you're complaining about. No word on when Americans plan to sanction Foxcon for these abhorrent labor practices.

The worker's state needs worker's cops and worker's censorship. Crime and cia outlets don't magically disappear in a worker's state.
