    I have no idea why you’re being so hostile or pedantic. My point was that socialist countries can use capitalism as a tool when it’s suborned to the state. You conceded my point. What’s YOUR point?

      My point is “capitalism subordinated to the state like the USSR” is an extremely misleading claim, and it’s often used by anticommunists who make uninformed accusations of “USSR was state capitalism so it was the same as capitalism” without knowledge of the topic. If that’s not the claim you’re making, I apologize
