In a pinch this is a viable strategy, particularly at stores and restaurants. They often throw out still good food.

Yes and no. I think a lot would depend how familiar the person is with communist theory and current events and history to say if it is in line or not.

For me it was in line it the sense that I know how market oriented things are there but the more specifics on how state control/direction (as it was called here) work are new to me

Thanks for sharing this! I like how it goes a bit more into details than a lot of what is available on policy

I appreciate the effort here. One major flaw I see in your argument is ignoring historical context. You point to the CPC being very wealthy and owning a large amount oy stock and businesses and use that to argue other parties should too, but you leave off the how and why the CPC owns so much. It wasn’t as you argue others should do, by out competing capitalists, but rather due to their actions after their successful revolution. I’d suggest elaborating more on this to see if you can reconcile some issues in your proposal. Additionally I’d consider how capitalists are trying currently to do what you suggest the communist parties do, to essentially buy out all competition.

Have you read Ten Days That Shook the World by John Reed yet? It isn’t quite what you are looking for but covers the revolution itself from a first hand account

This very much reads like the whole “China is weeks away from collapse.” Every once in a while there is some fear mongering over the Treasury and bonds. This also coming from the Heritage Foundation is rather convenient with their call for fiscal responsibility and measuring the decline as being 3.5 years in the making.

While a US collapse would be good for a lot of the world this is clearly a political ad for Trump and project 2025. As in don’t get your hopes up of anything meaningful happening

Yea most in train stations and gas stations the toilets cost 1€ to enter, the gas station ones usually give you a ticket for the value that you can use to discount whatever you buy
