Reply to comment by catachresis in We must address Raddle.me's rabid and desperate attempts to drum up Sinophobia. These are questions for all real leftists who remain on Raddle.me (not the anarchists) by CPUSA
It's easy for Western leftists to conflate their capitalist states with socialist ones, but I assure you they are entirely different beasts. The socialist state only exists to serve the people. The capitalist state only serves capitalism.

Do you live in a socialist state? I'm not conflating them. The state still doesn't care about you. A state might take care of you, or a public servant might care for you. Either way you are still a pawn in the State's game. The answer isn't what you think it is.

I do not live in a socialist state currently but I lived in China for two years and 3 months for work. A socialist state (not a social democracy) only exists to serve its people. I saw this with my own eyes while living in China. The state punishes capitalists who break the law.

How do the people choose how they want to get served? Doesn't the government end up choosing for them?
I might be able to agree with you that a socialist state is the best state. I don't want a state and there will always be people in the future that won't want a state.

Is this all you can say about how China treats it's people? They go after capitalists?
