> So, if they are successful and call themselves communist they are not really communist.
China is still very much communist in every way but economically. I don't mind calling them communist, it's just that if we're talking about an economic system and I'm looking for success story of socialism, you can't bring up China. Ever since China abandoned planned economy and employed capitalism, its economy has grown by leaps and bounds.
> I suppose you agree that there are not pure capitalist states. What we see in the world is normally called "mixed economy".
Whatever you want to call it, does "more socialism" or "more capitalism" correlate strongly with wealth? What about individual freedom?
