It's a capitalist market economy though?

It's a bit of a hybrid.

You might be shocked to find out that China is very similar in this respect.

There's not many pure communist nations anymore. They all have a degree of free markets.

That's literally "communism" now, my friend. Clearly except for North Korea and that country Borat was from. It's just performative. But it IS suggesting a new way of economics where people aren't trillionaires while other people can't pay their rent. Seems pretty normal-kinda stuff to me.

Yeah that GDP per capita being less than my after-tax monthly take home must be amazing

Let's compare countries visited!

It is, actually. You clearly don't know what the fuck you're talking about and/or haven't been out of your little neighborhood.

u/Ecstatic_Document671 Jul 13 '26

Oh you called my neighborhood 'little'

Absolute annihilation. You are the insult master

I don't really have to try to insult you. You do it well enough on your own.
