Late stage capitalism... in China?
Just because they call themselves communists, doesn't mean the end result isn't the same as capitalism.
A select few have the power, most others are exploited as much as possible
I speak with it in mind there's a difference between "late stage" and the "regular" kind.
China has the fastest growing billionaire and millionaire class in the world. There's never been a fully communist or capitalist country
As opposed to the late stage kind of thing we're talking about?
Your point?
That we're not talking about the same kind of thing.
You never truly stated your point
That is my point. You're talking about something broader than I tried to emphasize.
So you have no point
Talking about something broader than I tried to emphasize =/= talking about a lack of a point
Is this news for you?
Kind of, those were some quick stages.
I wouldn't draw distinct lines between them. The same situation is happening everywhere however we want to name it.
