shouldn’t the mention of china in rule 2 contradict with rule 5?

    I think the CCP describes it as the preliminary form of socialism or whatever, but how much of that is serious, and how much of that is just propaganda to distinguish themselves from the decadent western nations? most scholars would probably call it state capitalism.

    just because the major corporations like China Tobacco are state owned, doesn’t mean they aren’t exploiting the population for profit though. keep in mind that most of the unethical consumption under capitalism in the west is powered by orphan crushing machines in the east.
