    I wouldn’t really say TikTok is socialist like, but yeah it’s clear it was only banned because they don’t like it and not its harms

      Maybe not TIktok itself, I was mainly referring that it’s maintained by a Chinese company. Too many people in the u.s think China is communist, but it’s lately more like socialism.

      But whether it’s socialism, or communism, the Republican party most outspokenly, won’t have either one of those. Mainly because it can devalues the capitalists.

        Yes the country with 200 billionaires is totally socialist and not a capitalistic shithole borrowing honor from their own past because modern Chinese leadership is such a tragic failure.

          It’s a mixed economy. and really, you’re going to try and say that China doesn’t have a socialist leaning?

          I’m not meaning to say, that China does not have some form of capitalism; i’m saying that the u.s gov. doesn’t want a country that supports socialism to have an influence and that that is what brought my theory. The u.s tends to mostly support capitalism. There is barely any room for socialism in current u.s politics. Socialism barely makes it on the news in the u.s.

        China is socialist like 1940 Germany was socialist.

        can’t really explain those camps away, can they…
