But unlike the US, where the State is allowed to buy aggregated data for surveillance purposes, in China, those insiders will likely be jailed for life the day their little business gets discovered. Even more after such an article published by the foreign press.
I mean at least Oligarchs do not pretend anymore! They directly elect themselves, how convenient for their class. But nah, I'm not one of those people, I wish the USA were to transition to Socialismm. That would probably usher a century of world peace, if not more.
I remember one teacher calling me "autistic" lmao. I wasnt even that young. Must have been around 12 or something? And he clearly used it as an insult.
Yes because the Tibetan Sovereignty is a silly concept. It was already used decades ago by colonial regimes to try to split the young Republic, basically as a way to hurt it and prevent the Tibetan ascent to democracy. It doesn't matter for western power that Tibet was a backward slave system.
Same under any socialist mode of production. But on top of that, they get to have indirect or direct democratic control of their business, something that is utterly alien in liberal democracies. So utterly alien that most westerns think that the republicanisation of the workplace is totalitarian.
How it is different then (genuine question)? If you are stakeholder you have direct or indirect control.
You can add more restrictions like only people who are still employed can have shares (not sure what English term for this type of ownership).
Or enforce business to always give shares to employees.
Still doesn’t explain how large company will start if it needs large capital.
I know it’s probably covered already but I never got deep into topic.
If workers need capital to start their business, either they bring it with them, or they can borrow money from a bank, or even create a hybrid structure where the State owns shares in the said company (it's very common in China nowadays through State-owned investment firms). There are then plenty of options left!
For very large projects then, like chip-making or space exploration, the State needs to step in; its way too complexe for "casual" workers to start. But then this institution will be very likely under indirect (through parliament) democratic control.
I see. So it’s like capitalism but state is owner and everyone in country is shareholder (at least on paper). As opposed to having smaller subset of shareholders.
This is not uncommon, even in countries that don’t promote themselves as socialist. At least in Russia many companies are state owned. And in recent years even more nationalized to become state owned. And big companies that are not state owned still have a lot of control from state (like media companies).
