General Discussion

a capitalist economy. I use to argue that you can't have it both ways. You can't have Communism and capitalism working in the same economy. Communism is about sharing everything with every citizen. There is no ownership. It all belongs to everyone. It discourages ownership of property, especially the use of capital by individuals,... that's the communal part of Communism. What most people mean when they say capitalism and Communism in the same economic system, is Socialism and capitalism in the same economy. There is some socialism in the Chinese economy.

Socialism allows for the private ownership of property. The true meaning behind Communism is everything is shared and nothing is owned. So, how are they sharing and not owning in the political arena? Do the people get to vote? I really don't see any Communism in China anymore. They just throw the word around and hope no one looks too closely.
