    in the stage where the economy is mixed between socialism and capitalism (aka market socialism), billionaires are stlll needed to stimulate the economy, they don’t pose a threat to the rest of the country when controlled (which is how it is in china, considering they have a near zero poverty rate, about 300,000 out of 1.8 billion), you can deal with the billionaires when they are no longer needed (aka when the transition is completely)

      First of all, “near zero poverty rate” is a flat out lie. The existence of billionaires at all is a threat to working class and pretending otherwise is a delusion.

      Second of all, “needed to stimulate the economy” is not socialism, market or otherwise. It’s capitalism in a red coat. Plus, it doesn’t actually explain what value billionaires bring for the working class. What do they do that cannot be done without the massive wealth inequality they create?

        gang do ur own research, simply googing “china poverty rate” would have sufficed, I never said it was full on socialism, it’s socialism with a capitalist economy (mainly because the global system is capitalism, adopting full on socialism right now would be death sentence, see venezuela) but when america falls and china becomes the main superpower, than full on socialism can be achieved
