    In a capitalist society, this is impossible to implement.

    Obviously but I wasn’t talking about capitalist society.

      Are you saying that in China, the oligarchs are socialist, while in the West, they are capitalist?

      No, Comrade—I am referring to the kind of socialism you are talking about: the kind of socialism that can coexist with capital.

      I already gave you my answer in the previous post—having already realized you were from China, based on the characters in your username. You should understand what I meant.

        I’m not @QinShiHuangsShlong@lemmy.ml but I’ll try to reply anyway.

        In China, there are capitalist owners, some of them immensely wealthy. However, the government is not controlled by them, but by the working class through the Communist Party.

        There’s a reason why China routinely gives death sentences to corrupt politicians, why it’s the manufacturer of 95% of the world’s supply of solar panels despite the existence of oil oligarchs on Earth, why housing prices go down instead of up, and why it was interested in and capable of uplifting 800mn people from poverty into a relatively comfortable life.
