"Isn't it ironic? A hundred EV companies have bloomed under communism, while capitalism subsidizes one blowhard making four vehicles and one paperweight. A startup has trained an AI for $5.5m under communism, while capitalist AI requires $500b in govt support. Everything capitalists told you about capitalism was just some bullshit to sell you more capitalism. Communism is actually far more innovative than capitalism. They do more with less, and for better purpose."

@kims a UBI would lead to a society where people can work to help the world instead of just to make someone else richer. It would give us a lot more art of all kinds, open source software, and innovation in general, because people could afford to do it. People who aren't independently wealthy could afford to be entrepreneurs without risking poverty. Not to mention, they could also afford to always act ethically.
@kims have fun learning about Tiananmen square using Deep Seek. Communism is pretty effective.

Well, that seems to me to be a rather simplistic view. All these innovative companies have not bloomed under "communism", but under a dictatorial system that allowed for islands of some sort of "rental capitalism" within a collectivist society, while accepting strong social inequalities. Those "capitalist islands" were initially heavily promoted by Western advisors (also in the hope of contributing to the liberalization of the system). 1/2

Before that, Mao had completely failed for decades in his numerous efforts to transform China into a modern industrialized state based on the socialist planned economy.
@kims I think this is more down to the degree of corruption and nepotism than either model. The new Chinese AI release is an inevitable next step when you see how they did it, they basically realised they can take the western AIs and use them to make a cheaper to run one. Clever, but still a solution highly motivated by the profits.
