    Guess which political economic form can handle price deflation gracefully (hint, it’s not capitalism)

        LOL, imagine a socialist country where workers needed to organize to create adversarial relationships with other workers. Shake that liberalism from your brain. Unions are an organizational form against capitalists, a protorevolutionary form that wins through threat of harm to the state. No socialist country needs to have unions, because a socialist country is one in which the state is organized in accordance with the long-term interests of the workers as a class.

            Cool, let them know that you know what’s best for them and that they should organize themselves in a protorevolutionary formation and threaten to withhold their labor from society. You know best!

                    I mean, I knew that the minute you haughtily used sarcasm to state China wasn’t socialist and chose the lack of unions as good evidence. Bye.
