    I would kill to live in a country like China that optimizes its economy for use value over exchange value.

      Honey, I used to live there, and I hate to burst your bubble, but there’s a huge HUGE difference between what China says and does.

        I’ve heard from many other Chinese people who say the opposite, so I’m gonna go ahead and press X to doubt.

        Edit: I also don’t really care what someone with enough resources to emigrate has to say. I’m more concerned with ordinary workers, who have a 90%+ approval rating of the CCP.

        Tankies call you out for patronizing when literally every single comment ever by tankies on Lemmy are patronizing and calling out people for “being brainwashed capitalistic libs”. Yikes.
