I think the word socialism has been used in so many contexts it’s lost any semblance of a ‘real’ meaning. Perhaps what I meant to say earlier is that China is fundamentally capitalist, same as USA, China just has a more oppressive government. Perhaps China does have a few aspects which are more communist, but it is overshadowed by the authoritarian nature of government.
In my ideal communist world there would be little state interference between small communes of no more than 300 people. Of course, you have to ensure that people aren’t killing or enslaving each other, but otherwise, don’t monitor for example, their internet usage - which both China and USA do, although China a little more openly, and for more things.
I think we can both agree that our ideal world would be nothing like the USA as it is today, but would your ideal communist world be more like China, my scenario, or something else entirely?
