LOL!!

Communism is authoritarianism, in fact it is totalitarianism ( far left )

I meant communism as in the economic theory, i think china has more billionaires than the us at this point. Also, what a party names themselves hardly matters

Communism was a political system built upon an economic theory by Marx - https://www.amazon.com/Das-Kapital-Critque-Political-Economy/dp/145388632X

As to names .. the claim that you know what is communism and a government communist party does not is laughable

Can't people own property in China but not the actual land the buildings are built on and aren't there privately owned business in China listed on the stock exchange? Doesn't really sound like communism to me.

One of the central principles of communism is that there's no private ownership, which of course in China there is. Their system is just capitalism administered by an overreaching, authoritarian government.

Did you even read what you linked? That is exactly what I said.
But seriously. Who the fuck even cares. All these political ideologies are nothing but temporary human stupidity now on the precipice of dissolving into the acids of history.

No its not ... If someone owns the land you are living on then you are a renter .. nothing more

Sorry if the truth is inconvenient

Fucking hell it is not communism. So just stop already. Even though people don't own the land people do own the buildings. There are property developers in China who make a fortune renting/leasing to the Chinese people. This is not communism.

It's not far left. Nazi Germany was totalitarian and they were on the far right. Any left or right wing leader can be a dictator/totalitarian.
redeggplant01 t1_j6irv4h wrote
Yes it since every instance of communism which is far left has been totalitarian without exception
Germans under Hitler had more freedoms than those under communist regimes

Nazi germany wasnt even right leaning. The elite was occultist, anticapitalist and had a totalitarian authoritanian way of dealing with government. This is the problem of dividing everything into left and right.

They CCP can call themselves whatever they like, it doesn't make China a communist country.
As I said in another comment, a central tenant of communism is that there's no private property. That's not the case in China, people own houses, companies, cars, and all the other things you'd expect to see in a capitalist society.
China also has the right to inherit, a central bank, a stock market, domestic and international trade - the list of things which are antithetical to Communism goes on and on.

Which part of what I said is an opinion?
Here's the Shanghai Stock Exchange: http://english.sse.com.cn, is it just my opinion that it exists?
Do you understand what Communism is?
redeggplant01 t1_j6ihd3l wrote
The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) is the largest stock exchange in mainland China. It is a nonprofit organization run by the China Securities Regulatory Commission [ communist government ] - http://www.csrc.gov.cn/csrc_en/c102023/common_zcnr.shtml
Government owned and government run - communism
Heinrick_Veston t1_j6iiut8 wrote
It doesn't matter who owns it, the fact that it exists and that people can privately purchase and own stock of private companies is completely at odds with the concept of communism.
Under communism there is no ownership of land, factories, companies etc, they all belong to the state. There's no share of ownership to be bought and sold, and therefore, there can be no stock market.
redeggplant01 t1_j6ij6dj wrote

Yes it does as that is what defines communism ... since the equity market is owned, managed by the state then its communism
Heinrick_Veston t1_j6ikkhr wrote
In a communist country there would be no equity market to begin with.
This is perhaps the third time I've said this, but under communism there is no private ownership.
In China there are many examples of private ownership. Shares of a company is one.
