Communism experdites the process of wealth centralization, because that’s what happens when you give all the resources to a single party, under communism the process takes less than 10 years, under capitalism it takes over 10 years, because you need to convince people to part with their money, under communism you have no choice, you own nothing and what you do own is the property of the party.

Yeah, but that excuse is only used when people are criticising communist using China as an example, that’s why I consider China’s status as a communist nation an opinion that lemmy.ml always flip flops on.
And by what metric is China considered a communist nation?
I’m seeing /u/10_0 from lemmy.ml in this thread trying to argue against socialism, currently. I guess they are anticommunist only when… what was your point again?
Anyone claiming China isn’t socialist is grossly misinformed.
Under communism everyone is poor. Under capitalism most are poor

…You’re describing capitalism.

Hmm?
Poverty rates are steadily decreasing in China...
...under every income group.
While homeownership rates have been steadily rising, reaching 90% in 2018
Those are some bold claims to make with nothing to back it up, when in fact reality says otherwise.
Technology and a booming capitalist economy do that, or well, a booming economy and leading tech at least ; )
A market economy under a socialist state, similar to what the USSR had under the NEP for its first 20 years.

Also wasn’t 1995 when the USSR collapsed?

I’ve heard lemmy.ml claim China is not communist, before. I guess they are communist only when it supports your argument.
