Socialist Market Economy enjoyer. ML tankie , advocating for Socialism with American working class characteristics. Anti-liberal, socially conservative.
Socialism should be judged by whether it develops the productive forces & raises living standards.
Wealth creation is compatible with socialism if it serves the goal of improving the material conditions of the whole society & moving toward common prosperity. #socialist#communism
@Jack_Warran@themoderateman9@khrachvik Knowing 240M are below $6.50 PPP/day doesn’t tell you how many are below $3 PPP/day. You need the actual distribution/headcount at $3. You’ve gone from claiming “China has 50M+ below $3” to saying 50M is your estimate. What’s the source for the $3 PPP headcount?
@Jack_Warran@themoderateman9@khrachvik I read your NBS source. 9,542 yuan is the average per-capita disposable income of China’s bottom 20%. It does not say 50M people are below the World Bank $3 PPP poverty line. You derived that by converting yuan at the market exchange rate and comparing it to a PPP threshold.
@tricia_dejong WWII arose principally from Nazi German expansionism & the unresolved contradictions of the post-WWI European liberal order, not because WWI had “failed to create” Israhell.
@Jack_Warran@themoderateman9@khrachvik $3/day is the World Bank’s 2021-PPP international extreme-poverty line, not “$3 of income a day generally accepted by other countries.”
If you have a credible estimate showing 50M Chinese below that specific PPP-adjusted line, cite it.
Gotta do better next time, liberal.
@LibertariansDP Because that’s all left wing liberals know, & the right wing liberals like yourself believe left wing liberals are the representatives of communism for some reason 😆
@Jack_Warran@themoderateman9@khrachvik You can’t refute that China eliminated extreme poverty but you try to use woke liberal moralism to show the consequences of extreme poverty from many years ago?
Anyway, thanks(?) for NOT being able to refute this colossal feat that China achieved, liberal.
@antikommunistic@SeanZupko Knowing why the Electoral College was created doesn’t refute the point.
The presidency is not decided by national popular vote instead it’s mediated through electors allocated by states.
You learned that in your liberal history class, right?
@antikommunistic Who gets to decide?
Under capitalism, who decides what your workplace produces, how it’s run, where its profits go, whether your job is eliminated, whether the factory closes? Usually the people who own it, not the people who work there.
Marxism questions that arrangement.
@alxrosewowm@antikommunistic You’ve described alienation from having no control over your own activity.
Marx identified that as a problem of capitalist wage labor.
@Jack_Warran@themoderateman9@khrachvik China didn���t suddenly lower its poverty line until nobody qualified…its national rural standard was established years before the 2020 target & adjusted over time.
Applying the U.S. domestic poverty line to China isn’t an international poverty comparison.
Try harder.
@AdamJackso0yi0@BlackRifle_Co Liberalism keeps Americans divided. As long as you’re stuck in the vicious circle of conservative liberals vs progressive liberals you’re never gonna see beyond it.
@CKilla19841363@RTSG_Main You never “dog walked” me & that’s a fact rad-lib 😂
Anyway…yes it sucked that his neck exploded on live internet.
And it’s because another rad-lib thought he’d be less confused if he did it to honor his femboy fck buddy.
Hope you understand, but you won’t…
@rydaan_121b@FakeRickStone@TheAliceSmith It’s not BS, you just showed you never understood communism with your lil hot take. 🫵😂
1st step if you wanna understand it, stop thinking like a liberal.
@Jack_Warran@themoderateman9@khrachvik U.S. poverty line income being higher than China’s median income shows the U.S. is a richer country & it doesn’t refute China’s elimination of extreme poverty. Extreme poverty, median income & the $15,960 USD domestic poverty line are three different measures.
Try again.
