    Well if China is a socialist developing country and the living conditions are inferior than what i have here, this must be an even more advanced socialist society, basically an utopi.

      Socialism doesn’t mean “good living conditions,” Socialism is a mode of production where public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy, not private ownership. Further, if you are living in a western country, you are living in a country that benefits from Imperialism, and has not had to liberate itself from colonialism and subjugation.

      This is just silly, I really don’t know what point you’re trying to make other than being intentionally obtuse.

          The overwhelming majority of the large firms and key industries are publicly owned and planned, and hence is the principle aspect of the economy. Private ownership is typical of small and medium firms, and as these grow they are folded into the public sector with increasing control. There’s also a substantial cooperative sector, like Huawei and commonly in collective farms.

                  I genuinely don’t understand what point you’re trying to make. You call Socialist theory “propaganda” and then you ask how I earn money? What’s going on?
