    This breaks down the problems with communist grocery stores.

    "Capitalist grocery stores have historically worked better than communist stores due to fundamental differences in how the two systems allocate resources and incentivize production. Market-based systems rely on supply and demand, competition, and the profit motive to stock shelves and offer choice, while centrally planned communist systems have struggled with inefficiency and persistent shortages."

    Oh you mean like China?

    Yeah I hear they're running out of electric cars and solar panels. They don't have enough cities empty of people either. Real shortage I hear. (Result of them trying too hard to be Capitalist)

    They're so inefficient, everything they make costs so much more. We can make everything much cheaper here.

    Continue on with the b.s. We find it so entertaining.

    ^^^

    Keep in mind that the China you see today isn't the Communist country of Mao Zedong. China has adopted what they call "State Run Capitalism". So the better production results are likely tied to the capitalism China as adopted.


    "In less than fifty years, China has risen from a poor agrarian society to the second-largest economy and a global superpower. China reached this level of economic prosperity because of its liberalization into a free market economy under Deng Xiaoping during the Chinese economic reform starting in 1976."

    "The Chinese economic reform divided political ideology from economic practice and created what is known as state capitalism. China’s economic model has deviated from socialism because of foreign trade and the privatization of business and property."

    The Indian Coffee House is a restaurant brand in India which reflects its economic policy of a holistic synthesis between capitalism and socialism.

    The Indian Coffee House (ICH) cooperative movement began in the late 1950s when the government closed down its India Coffee Houses, leading to widespread unemployment among workers. Indian leader A.K. Gopalan organized these dismissed employees to form worker cooperatives, transforming the chain into the worker-owned Indian Coffee House network.

    Today, ICH operates as a collection of worker cooperatives across India, with employees as shareholders, providing jobs and maintaining a socialist legacy through its unique cooperative model, which offers workers a sense of ownership, pride, and various benefits like insurance and provident funds.

    Since the workers themselves are capitalist owners of the brand, they are highly motivated and disciplined in their work ethics so as to ensure high output, and the brand has become a major success story of collective entrepreneurship in India.

    The profits thus go to all the workers and not to any single owner's pocket or bank account in particular.

    China yields control over every damn business in the country. Apparently that's what Trump is trying to do, demanding control and money from:
    US Steel
    Intel
    Tik Tok
    The Media
    Ending Free Speech for those who oppose Trump

    This is pure fascism. Just like China is now.
    That's what Communism/Capitalism evolves into if you let it. You wanna call it something else, like State Run Capitalism. Still fascist, not capitalist.

    Educated Chinese students were trying to stop that. Then Tienaman Square happened.

    The US will soon have it's version of Tienaman Square/Crystalnacht courtesy of Trump and his brown shirts. Then the real crackdown will begin.

    I can't believe Trump is trying to launch this planned crackdown because Jimmy Kimmel said something Trump didn't like.

    That won't work as you can see. He needs a much bigger pretext, like the Charlie Kirk killing. So they tried that too.

    America's Reichstad is still standing, so they haven't figured out yet which scenario would succeed, allowing for martial law, suspending elections etc. They still have 3 years...
