    Makes sense to me

    China is objectively better at capitalism than the United States is. Bloomberg likes it when countries are good at capitalism. So China good.

    However, China being better at capitalism goes against Bloomberg’s entire philosophy, they’re evil communists! So China bad.

      Yeah I used to know a CEO of a middling US manufacturer, and he genuinely loved China specifically because he thought they were really good at capitalism.

        there seems to be an incredibly strong correlation between reading all 3 volumes of Marx’s Critique of Political Economy and understanding how capitalism works. How could this possibly be? porky-scared
