    Yet everytime you point out that capitalism is bad and cute several examples, they literally say " That’s not true capitalism! It’s Cronyism/Corporatism/Imperialism/Authoritarianism/anything else.

    As if those were different diseases and not just individual symptoms of the whole.

      I have heard of more people saying “not real capitalism” than “not real communism” (though the latter is said sometimes, because I happen to have been one of them in the past when I was even less educated on Marxism than before).

      • Anyone who uses “not real communism” is probably a baby left 99% of the time.

        Though I love China in this debate. China has Schrodinger economy! A Capitalist country when it’s winning and being used to defend how good socialism is, but it’s conveniently a socialist nation when it comes time to list the horrors of communism.

          Yeah, you cannot have it be both communist and capitalist at the same time! Bourgeois media likes to demonize it like a communist country but says it betrayed communism at the same time?
