I have ... hmmm ... provided historical context ... broad perspective over time and across the globe .... facts ... an analysis ... and a suggested solution.
Meanwhile you've provided nothing but slander and propaganda. If that's how ya wanna roll, I certainly am not going to waste my time trying to stop you.

And you believe this because your preferred mouthpiece says so. Figures. Meanwhile you blow past policy statements of the China Communist Party, facts and figures and laws of the country as irrelevant, because, well, whatever.

“Over the past 35 years, China has embraced capitalism not just in the economy. The Theory of Moral Sentiments has more than a dozen Chinese translations; the book has won the heart and mind of premier Wen Jiabao. The message of Adam Smith resonates strongly with the Chinese, not least because of its striking affinity with the traditional Chinese thinking on economy and society. A surprising outcome of China’s transition to capitalism is that China has found a way back to its own cultural roots.
But today, with the benefit of hindsight, we know that the economic forces that were really transforming the Chinese economy in the first decade of reform were private farming, township and village enterprises, private business in cities, and the Special Economic Zones. None of them was initiated from Beijing. They were marginal players operating outside the boundary of socialism".

So you REALLY DON'T CARE if the vast majority of people live short miserable lives while very few are astronomically wealthy and powerful, or if instead the vast majority have decent lives to look forward to. Well, now we know what you stand for.

1kiki you provide nothing but suggestions based on falsehoods and ignorance. You spin facts to imply they mean something else which is a trait you share with someone else. You respond to others posts by suggesting they responded wrongly to a post and did not provide prof for things they are not even speaking about. You are bullshit trying to sell more bullshit.
As long as I post here I will call you on it.

It looks like you can't divorce yourself from the system you prefer, so as to be able to look around the world and into the past, and to imagine the future. I suggested trying to take on a different perspective, not to embrace it as reality, but to be able to think about these ideas calmly. Apparently, you can't.
Also, I take it you side with T and really don't care if lots of people live short miserable lives as long as you get to keep a system you like.
If that's not the case, let me know.

So, you have no reply to the facts of policy statements of the Chinese Communist Party, to Chinese land ownership law, and to economic analysis of dominant public ownership of the economy. Instead you make completely unsupported statements. And then you engage in ad hominem attacks. Is that about it?

Your argument is limited. Saying 'that's how it works!' doesn't take into account the past where things didn't work this way, the present where there are places they don't work this way, or the future where people will do things differently.
Try thinking about this society - I dunno - AS IF IT WAS A SCIENCE FICTION STORY you weren't enmeshed in and vested in - and considering how it might change.
OMG - major logic gap, all caps for your understanding: IT'S NOT A SCIENCE FICTION STORY - IT'S REAL LIFE. That's why Signym's wizbang theories don't hold water. They are fanciful what-ifs only. You don't see that?
Let's all play: I think everyone should be able to never work again, full insurance, full college education for their kids, wheeeeeee - done! I solved the world!
Yeah..Yeah..Yeah.... Logic at last..... Hurray...G

It's a good thing you have smart people you can quote at the click of a button, because you sure can't come up with anything intelligent on your own.
