More food for thought for Hari et al: The fight for democratic rights, greater spending on social needs, and public ownership of industries has met with some success, but for those of us who have coupled such agitation for reform with revolutionary propaganda, the latter efforts have proven to be quixotic in the advanced capitalist countries since the industrial revolution.
Also FWIW, a link to a wiki article showing the breadth of state-owned enterprises in China which would appear to far surpass the number and percentage of SOE's found elsewhere. The greater scale of the state sector in China may not in itself transform quantity into quality, but that China’s state is stil controlled by a Communist Party which came to power in a social revolution, whose declared aim is socialism, and which goal is promoted widely in the mass political culture, does seem to me to give it a qualitatively different class character than the states in the other countries with large state-owned corporations which have been cited by way of comparison - the UAE, Russia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and India. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_of_China ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_of_China ) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
