"China is Socialist"
Not that any of them really mean anything
Tbf they're used a lot as synonyms in marxism. Ultimately it's still a state capitalist hell hole
It ultimately depends upon the people.
You may be interested in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_socialism. I personally don't think capitalist laws help anyone but so long as you're a leftist that's fine by me.
I'm not *-ist. I don't do *-ism.
My thoughts don't depend upon what a certain group of people may/may not consider acceptable.
Yeah labels are vague but they're good at getting a general idea of what you support. For example I don't label myself much generally, but i just say i'm a libertarian socialist or anarchist. It's what you believe that actually matters.
The problem with catchphrase labels is that it creates the same problems as the word "God" has for thousands of years.
It encourages people to think less and empowers those who would use this to destroy rationality in groups and use said groups to destroy people for their own agenda.
True, it's more important to focus on your own beliefs than subscribing to a single ideology.
Nonono 🤓👆

But seriously it's just Dictatorship with Capitalism with a skin of Socialism
