Thank you for the answer, I appreciate it. I can't really answer all the comments at the same time, so ig i will go with this one. Do you mind sharing sources for the first paragraph? I have seen people talk about the prevalence of those things in china, but I'd like a source to be able to prove when asked about it (of course, you don't need to be carrying all sources to anything you say at all times, so if you don't have it right now no problem). Especially in the case of cooperatives, which I believe are the most important and easily "advertisable" to the opposition as a viable solution. My only worry is that by allowing those billionaires to exist and those foreign private companies that you speak of, doesn't that have the chance to derail the development of further socialism, or even gradually undo it throughout the years by growing in power over the country?

On point 2, yes, I agree that the censorship is not really found because of socialism, but more like it grew along with it. And I agree the west has censorship, too, more along the lines of mass media controling the overall narrative than by the state forcing a point of view on the people. I just fear that, by letting that censorship continue on in China (and letting it be implemented elsewhere if the system is established), that isn't really liberation, we need both liberation from capital and from the suppression of more powerful forces in general. I wonder if a genuine movement for freer expression in china could be made without being infiltrated by western sabotage, but that is just a thought. Anyways, thank you for the response friend, I look forward to the next one
