When I use the word manufacture here I am referring to commodity production. Food, heavy industry, washing machines, putting together your coffee order. Commodity production+ distribution is the best way to determine how big an economy is.

I'll breK it down for you.

GDP is not the best measure of how large an economy is doing. That was why I referenced Russia.

A joke to illustrate why:

Two economicists are walking down a sidewalk. They see a dog shit. One pays the other 20 dollars to eat it. A spectator asks in horror why the man ate dogshit. He says "I felt it was important to add 20 dollars to the GDP".

China does indeed lead in manufacturing, but not in overall GDP. There is no guarantee they will retain that lead either.

Oh, I agree. At some point in the 22nd century a pan-african alliance will probably overtake them.

Yeah, those Japanese civilians and Korean slaves sure deserved it /s

Yeah, thousands of victims were Korean slaves. Chew on that.

Hey, tbf some of them probably read it without looking at any sources for their claims

And that has to do with this one woman competitor how? Did she sign off on the invasion?

No?

Then don't compare her being there to a rapist.

Okay, you dont know anything about vietnamese politics and you don't think there can be press freedom under government control, got it.

Do you have proof that there is no dissent within socialist countries? Because based on my readings there is plenty of lively debate. Hell, you can look at streams of the vietnamese assembly.

The corporate media will always serve the elites over token dissent. And token dissent protects capitalists from Capitalism. He is quite funny and self aware when he wants be.

So why did you say the silly thing you said in the first place? And why do you consider corporate press to be more free than government press?

No, I was suggesting that tankie came to describe USSR supporters

No, it started that way? Do you mean started to be more all encompassing? I literally explained the origin of the term one comment ago. Also, I dont see how this

" Imagine thinking Chinese workers own the means of production, or not even knowing where the term “tankie” comes from. "

-can mean what you say you meant.

(which modern apologists project onto Russia, as if the wall never fell).

Anyone who has researched the USSR enough to cut through capitalist propaganda knows Russia is now a neolib-ish bourgeois democracy.
