As I get older I begin to realize labeling stuff as either commie vs capitalist or left vs right like they are sports teams is honestly very childish and is detrimental to thinking. It's the same thinking as superhero movies where it's obvious who's good and who's bad since they tell you in a black and white manner.
Reality is much different. There's a huge amount of overlap.
For example America is capitalist so it loves money and China is commie so it must hate money. If you step back to see this, you would see how absurb this is esp when modern China is in its money phase. The better way to see it is both want to make money but have different approaches and uses. America sees it the same way as a company earnings call with little government.Short term profit with growth that can be seen clearly is everything. China on the other hand cares less about immediate profit and puts a lot of money investing in public infrastructure which is why a lot of investors are government related. The profit is not immediately there and the benefits are intangible. Yet it is done because the overall gains esp the multiples from others using it will be much greater in long term.
Technically when the west did all these projects like creating the internet, it's not much different from China. Funny how thats not called out as commie using their logic. In fact the west back then could be called more socialist and yet that's when it was stronger and it's citizens were more happy.
