I hate how “anti-war” has been hijacked by these people to mean, let imperialist countries invade whoever they want with no consequences. (in the case of tankies, any imperialist country that isn’t in NATO).

No, I will discard it as being false. I asked which industries were controlled by the workers. Those are controlled by the state. The state is not controlled by the workers, it is controlled by Xi Jinping's unelected autocratic regime.

You are being very disingenuous by claiming socialism is when there are state-owned enterprises.

Or are these also socialist countries? In which case, we go back to my original point.

I don't see how he's any more unelected than prime ministers who are voted on by their party. From my short wiki read it seems to work pretty similarly to that process

Yes that's definitely exactly what I said thank you. /s

I won't be engaging with you further, thanks.

Then, again, we go back to my first point that China is just as 'communist' as all of those Western countries. I guess we're in agreement.
