    I’d prefer neither.

    Edit: To be clear: I prefer socialism. Not whatever feelgood capitalism, but make it green on the left is.

      The PRC has a socialist market economy, not “feelgood capitalism.” The commanding heights of industry are publicly owned, the working classes have control of the state, and this combination is what allows for the PRC’s strong movements towards electrification, combatting desertification, and uplifting the working classes. China in many ways is advancing towards what Solarpunks reportedly want, a green economy directed towards working class interests.

        “The working classes have control of the state” good one lmao. They have so much control that millions protesting in HK just got violently beaten back and ignored.

          The HK riots were western-backed, fighting to remain under British colonialism. Since the HK riots, things have cooled down considerably, with the majoriry favoring the transition due to improving economic conditions and the benefits of being better-integrated into the socialist economy of China.

          Ah, the mythical third way that the compatible left keeps talking about, but has never been seen to work in practice in over a century.

            I definetly want socialism. But that shit on the left is nothing, but corporate feel-good green capitalism, not worker’s control over the means of production.

                So worker’s ownership of the means of production is a “fantasy” for you? So you agree that you’re not a socialist. Cool

                The bullshit on the left can all be found in western, capitalist countries. It’s nothing, but ecologic virtue signaling.

                  No, the fantasy is that you’re magically going to end up in a worker ownership utopia going from the current capitalist relations. It’s incredible that somebody could be so infantile as to think there wouldn’t be some sort of a transition period after the working class takes power and has to fight against the dominant capitalist empire that tries to extinguish every socialist project. Try to put at least a bit of effort into your trolling not to make it so transparent.
